Dionne Bromfield - Ouch (Demons Never Die Mix) (Feat. Mz Bratt)

Official visuals for the lead single from the forthcoming horror film 'Demons Never Die', which is directed by Arjun Rose and produced by Idris Elba. A cool video for a sick track, and with music from Jessie J, Devlin, Ellie Goulding and Rizzle Kicks expected to be on the soundtrack, this is definitely one to look out for.

Single Release: 17th October
Film Release: 28th October

RD - Otis (Freestyle)

Possibly the most freestyled-over track of all-time gets the once over courtesy of girl group RD - something a little different, and I like it. They remind me of a British/modern day Blaque. You can pre-order their new single HERE.

Zeo Zeonardo - Hater One

My favourite piece of music from Zeo Zeonardo's new FreEp, Sink Or Swim - a very cleverly structured track from a very unique and talented MC. Head over to his SoundCloud with an open mind, download the EP, and follow him on Twitter HERE.

Phonte - Sendin' My Love

So yeah, whilst everyone is raving on about Cole World leaking, this is the Hip-Hop album that I've been been excited to hear most this year. For those of you who don't know who Phonte is, he was 1/3 of Little Brother and is 1/2 of The Foreign Exhange, but Charity Starts At Home sees 'Te go solo for the first time in his career. Not many artists can claim to have a flawless discography, but Phonte does; he has this incredibly unique ability to go from creating the most soothing R&B music to spitting some of the most ferocious bars you are ever likely to hear, with consumate ease. Hit the jump to see the tracklist, enjoy this Stro Elliott produced track and pre-order HERE.



Charity Starts At Home is everything I love about Phonte in one album.
Charity Starts At Home has beautiful verse upon beautiful verse.
Charity Starts At Home has an eclectic selection of features.
Charity Starts At Home has the most stunning production.
Charity Starts At Home has real subject matters.
Charity Starts At Home is Hip-Hop perfection.

J. Cole - Nobody's Perfect (Feat. Missy Elliott) x Dollar & A Dream III

Here are two of my favourite tracks from one of the most highly anticpated Hip-Hop albums of the past 10 years. Lots of people were expecting Cole to fail with his debut album, but with the amount of talent he has and with Jay as his mentor, that was never going to happen really, was it? Cole World: The Sideline Story finally drops September 27th - definitely worth the wait.

P.S. He's only going to get better...

P.P.S. So good to hear Missy again...

2Pac & Biggie - Otis (Freestyle from Heaven)

Even though the vocals don't really match the beat, this is still amazing. R.I.P. to two true Hip-Hop legends - miss these guys.

Phonte - Good Fight

Following the Elzhi featuring lead single, here is another piece of 9th Wonder produced music from Phonte's debut solo album, Charity Starts At Home. Most people are excited for September 27th because of Cole World, but I'm just as (if not more) excited for this release, from one of my favourite artists of all-time. FE all day baby.

Random Impulse - Changed The Way You Kiss Me (Example Re-Fix)

After his massive re-work of DJ Fresh's number one single last weekend, Random Impulse has now decided to take Example's chart topping Changed The Way You Kiss Me and put his own unique twist on it. Season 3 of the re-fix series has started with a bang, and I only expect it to get better, so do yourself a favour and subscribe to his YouTube channel NOW.

DJ Premier - Will Sessions Instrumentals

With the impending release of The Elmatic Instrumentals, DJ Premier took some time to check out the new interpretations of some of his classic productions, as covered by Detroit band Will Sessions. After explaining the background behind the beat for Memory Lane, he's predictably impressed with the new instrumental versions for Represent and Detroit State of Mind. This is amazing. The Elmatic Instrumentals will be released worldwide on September 27 on CD, 180g Vinyl, and digital formats.
