16 year-old rapper/singer/songwriter Olly B has been causing quite a stir over the past 12 months, with his lyrical content blowing people away when they discover his tender age.

The EP is out now on Sticky Recordings - get your copy HERE, and listen to my favourite track after the jump.

Odd Future's Boston show shut down by Police

Controversial Hip-Hop crew Odd Future are currently on the road promoting their new mixtape, but last night saw them hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Rumours are flying around as to why the Boston show was brought to an end, but it seems as though the Police stepped in after group member Lionel “L-Boy” Boyce was arrested - it has also been said that Jasper Dolphin was restrained by security after smoking weed on stage and attempting to jump from the venue’s balcony. Watch the video after the jump, where Tyler gets cut off before he finishes explaining.

Olly B - You'll Find Love

'You'll Find Love' is my favourite track from young rapper Olly B's forthcoming EP 'Mirrors', which is set to be released on March 25th and is produced entirely by Ollie Green. At the tender age of 16 he is by no means the finished article, but with his thought-provoking lyrics, unique vocal tone (rapping & singing) and under the management of triple platinum producer Jake Gosling, the only way is up for the Birmingham-born starlet. There are moments in this track where he reminds me of Maverick Sabre, and that can only be a good thing. Follow Olly on Twitter HERE.

Kings Of The City - Fire In The Booth (Video)

Fancy seeing the true talent of London based Kings Of The City with the added hype of Charlie Sloth and his overt enthusiasm? Look no further. Ali Bla Bla, Kayo Ken and singer Danny Wilder, go hard on this 11 minute long video, showcasing their talent and ferocity for the music. Going from strength to strength; most recently supporting Maverick Sabre on tour, these boys are going to make it very big, very soon. There's something really refreshing about this band. A brand new sound, tinged with the lusted after vibes of UK Hip-Hop, Blues, Grime and Rock n Roll, KOC are unique and inspiring.
