Following on from Gramatik’s Street Bangerz 1, 2 and 3; Cold Busted have passed the baton on to German producer Krystian Shek for part 4, and I’m happy to say that he has done a sterling job in continuing this incredible series. Here is one of my favourite tracks from the album, which uses a classic sample from a classic Snoop track. You like? I like.

An unreleased banger from Phonte, which was originally recorded in 2002 for his aborted solo album, Tigallo Must Die. This is why he is one of my favourite people in music - real and beyond talented. Check out some more unreleased gems that he let go on his Swift FM account the other day HERE.

My God

First track to come from Pusha’s upcoming mixtape, Fear Of God. Teaming up with KanYe was the best decision he could have ever made. This proves why he is one of my favourite rappers.

Love Playlist
Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 10:48AM 
So it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow, and although I don’t really believe in it and have no-one to share it with in person this year, I felt it necessary to put a little playlist together for all the lovers out there. There is something in here for everyone, no matter your gender or relationship status - it includes some of my most loved and personal pieces of music ever. After the jump you can find the tracklist and a download link for all 25 tracks. Oh, and if you were wondering, my favourite love song of all-time is My Cherie Amour by Stevie Wonder.
This has been the most difficult weekend weekend of my life, but I hope everyone has a nice Valentine’s Day. ❤

One of my favourite tracks from Pharoahe Monch’s new album, W.A.R., which features Styles P & Phonte. Unfortunately this is only the watermarked/promo copy, but I still have a feeling that this will be one of the best Hip-Hop releases of 2011. You can get your copy on March 22nd.

Friday, February 11, 2011 at 12:51PM 
Here is a track taken from Giggs’ new mixtape, Take Your Hats Off, which is produced by Bayoz Muzik and features Example on the chorus. This is absolutely massive, so I’m looking forward to hearing to the rest of the tape later. You can download it HERE.

My favourite track from Saigon’s new album, The Greatest Story Never Told, which features rapper Devin The Dude. This is a banger. You should go and get the album if you’re feeling it.

Wretch 32 - Unorthodox
Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 11:55PM 
Here is Wretch 32’s latest single, Unorthodox, which features Example and uses the Stone Roses classic ‘Fool’s Gold’ as its sample. Have a feeling that this might do pretty well - it’s the perfect follow up to Traktor. You can catch them performing it on the Example tour, which kicks off in Norwich on February 22nd. Hottest Record in the World. (Hit the jump to hear another track off his upcoming album, which features female vocalist, Alex Mills)
