Def Jam UK was set up to try and legitimately launch a UK R&B/Hip Hop industry. And it simply didn't work.
I am not saying people are signed up with the immediate intention to shelve them, but when they are competing with bigger artists for attention they are shelved for a later date to avoid...
No but what you do see is a bunch of guys in suits being told that such and such is generating a lot of interest which is distracting the audience from the projects they have invested in excess or 500k in marketing. And they sign up those acts knowing full well they cannot translate that...
So you are telling me that a long applied practise of signing acts to shelve them is me being delusional?
And sir, I do not blame anyone nor do I have a persecution complex.
I would ask you to read and consider the words I wrote carefully, rather than make sweeping statements based on your...
No one got rushed at Sidewinder.
The doors of the Carling Academy in bristol were rushed because they refused entry to Nasty Crew who were booked. They used in house bouncers rather than the traditional Sidewinder bouncers, if they had used the Sidewinder bouncers that would have never...
Major labels sign and shelve acts ALL the time. It is a regularly used practise.
And as I said it applies to Hyphy clearly I don't think it is a conspiracy against Grime. It is a conspiracy against any form of music or acts which take attention away from acts that Major labels conspire to make...

The majors blocked them just as much as the smaller independents did. In fact I am...
Can anyone please give me a list of websites this has been reviewed on?
Want to try and compile some press for Trim.
And if you know anywhere it would be worth sending it to for review that it hasn't gone to yet, that would be cool.
I always hated "live vocalled" mix Cds. For exact reason that they were not live vocalled.
Getting a DJ to record a mix in a studio, and then afterwards getting an MC to record an 'as live' vocal over the top completely removes the exciting dj/mc live dynamic. They always bored the shit out of me.
His heart is fully in it. That's the only reason he still makes music. Because he cannot stop and he is literally obsessed with it.
He doesn't know what to do with his time if he isn't going to the studio that day.
Personally I'd go so far as to say boasting and bitterness were corner stones of any self respecting youth orientated musical genre of the last century.
Although reading the rest of the reviews, Madame does come across as awfully dry to the point of it becoming forced. She certainly lacks...
