don't have it on me cos i'm at work, but that's "let a day" from his first mixtape. and the beat is indeed taplin.

Definitely would add my voice to the chorus of people calling for more grime vocals on vinyl. While I don't exactly want random from any old mixtape popping up, the fact that stuff like 'Xtra' and 'Bring Your Crew' aren't about on vinyl is such a shame. Still, at least Wiley put out 'Cool Off'...

Battles are definitely pretty awe-inspiring live - but at the same time, I honestly don't think I could sit through it for more than an hour without my head exploding. But then I would never even think of listening to them outside the live arena either. TV On The Radio, however, are probably...

Quite honestly I couldn't give a toss about all the debate surrounding him. All I know is that "Something Isn't Right" was probably my favourite song of last year, but the album just doesn't live up to the perfection of that single track. Haven't really been able to get into any of his LPs to...

Love this track, and "JME's IQ" as well. Really like the more relaxed feel, it's something that doesn't happen often enough in grime without it becoming your standard chipmunk hip-hop.

^Logan closed his show on monday with a 19 minute mix of different vocals of the stageshow riddim - eleven versions in all. footsie, jammer, c gritz, skepta, riko, tempa t, badness, flow dan, killa p, busy signal, and movado. cheers for pointing that track out as well Logan, been caning all of...

yup, spot on. was doing a tape for a reggae DJ friend of mine yesterday and decided halfway through that i would have to end my mix 20 minutes early so that i could shove logan's megamix on the end! if this DOES herald any changes, let's hope it convinces producers to move towards making some...

I really wasn't that impressed with stageshow at first, but after having it battered into my skull on two consecutive nights (first on Roll Deep's rinse slot, then on Logan's kiss show) I have to admit that it's BONKERS. Ignoring the hype from Skepta himself, this song is going to rule the...

what are you on about? masta killa's 'no said date' was the best wu-tang album for years when it came out. masta killa has consistently gotten better over time (although, admittedly, the new one was a bit of a letdown) while guys like inspectah deck and, yes, gza just sound more uninspired...

The Frank 'n' Dank album is pretty much 100% synthy Dilla - just depends whether or not you can stand the lacklustre rapping throughout. I could never stand those two. You should also check the Jaylib demos that leaked onto the internet six or so months before "Champion Sound" came out -...

Indeed it did. Ninja Tune (or even big dada maybe?) are putting it out on 12" though - complete with the loefah remix, which plastician played last week and utterly slays. Speaking of which, plastician's show is essential listening each and every time - here's hoping he gets his own...

Trim - Boogeyman/The Lowdown is the first one that springs to mind. Not sure if he's released owt else on a solo tip, but that 12" is excellent. Lowdown might be my favourite beef track in all of grime - "I'm a big bad dub, you're a minidisc that's broken and finished with." I believe Jah War...
