    Finally: Now That's What I Call Vocal Grime

    Unfortunately that is the way people think nowadays, and it has slowly over time become the accepted norm. It is one of the unfortunate side effects of hip hop influencing these artists so much. they all want the Dr Dre mixdowns

    Finally: Now That's What I Call Vocal Grime

    You need to go to a studio if you want to vocal something. Either that or buy a microphone, pre-amp and compressor yourself. Expensive either way you look at it. People don't want shit sounding vocals. They don't want shit sounding anything. They always strive to mix down things as well as...

    Finally: Now That's What I Call Vocal Grime

    The Economics of Grime: In 2002-2004 a big tune could expect to sell between 2000 and 4000 units. In 2006 a big tune ie: Gangsterz sells 1500 units. There are about 6 of these a year that sell on that level. For example Jon E Cash - Hoods Up or Youngdot - Bazooka Riddim. Numbers are down. Ergo...

    I think that is why JME does so well with Boy Better Know, he is basically graffing the covers up himself, he just uses photoshop to do it in. And they are appealling in a friendly quaint sort of way, rather than flashy or immediately impressive.

    Finally: Now That's What I Call Vocal Grime

    Scorcher sat down with the graphic designer and actually picked out the look of the CD himself. That's exactly how he wanted it to look. And while the lovely idea of giving away music for free would be fantastic in order to generate a fanbase, not all of grime's practisitioners can fall back in...

    Finally: Now That's What I Call Vocal Grime

    I don't believe any popular music in general will be worth anything as data in the very near future. I do however believe that hard copy of music like CDs with proper artwork and vinyl give the creation a sentimental value which is unequatable to monetary terms. I would always strive to give...

    The music isn't available to the kids who visit their pages in an affordable and easy to obtain package. And thank you for the assistance Martin.

    How/why did Dizzee blow-up ahead of any other grimers?

    I have a few floating around. Mainly old mix CDs or live mixes from radio/clubs Nowhere to host them though. If you can find them check out the RWD Access All Artists cd, and my live mc sessions from my radio show. They are all floating around on DC++ or Limewire. I put things up on my myspace...

    How/why did Dizzee blow-up ahead of any other grimers?

    Further re-inforcing my point regarding a need for independant labels willing to work with musicians on the basis of *shock horror* creative abilitiy, rather than guaranteed bank.

    I await the new Vice magazine funky house "shoot" with Supa D mixing in a bullet proof vest "Like.... a bunch of black kids all go and rave to like house music.... but they are fucking shooting each other in there man! Some wild shit! *draws another pull on crack pipe*"

    Fuck it, here's my begging letter....

    To whom it may concern; No catchy slogans or flashy logos. No bright lights, smoke or mirrors. No carefully chosen words from the desk of a PR company. I am currently trying to begin a series of promotional mix CDs which will compile fresh new tracks and exclusive freestyles from the very best...

    Finally: Now That's What I Call Vocal Grime

    I genuinely don't want majors involved. Seeing the money earnt then IMMEDIATELY siphoned out to shareholders rather than re-invested into the scene hurts me. We really need those intermediate independant labels to exist who are there to bring through talented artists on a level that they...

    Oh, and Baked Goods didn't even do me the courtesy of replying to the 3 emails I sent them, when I was advised to contact them by Chris. Maybe you can get him to show you the reply I got from ST as well? That was a barrel of laughs. The reason why artists turn round and ask for advances for...

    I wouldn't mind if anything about this "track" was remotely good. Alas it could never hold a candle to this:
