Rizzle Kicks - Traveller's Chant (Video)

A year ago this week Rizzle Kicks burst onto the scene with their cover of Jessie J's 'Price Tag', and to celebrate they have uploaded the video for the fourth single to be taken from their debut album 'Stereo Typical'. Without a doubt my favourite track on the album, and as ever they come through with sick visuals to match. Get your copy HERE.

Rizzle Kicks - Mama Do The Hump (Benji Boko Remix)

Brighton-based Benji Boko takes Rizzle Kicks' new Fatboy Slim produced single for a twisting and turning funked up ride. I love the original, but this remix is on some futuristic type shit. Get your copy of Stereo Typical HERE.

Rizzle Kicks - Demolition Man x Trouble

Here are two of my favourite tracks from Rizzle Kicks' highly anticipated debut album, Stereo Typical, which was released today on Universal Island. Having released three singles from the album over the past six months there have been many mixed reviews on the duo, with some people hating them and others claiming that they are a breath of fresh air in the UK Hip-Hop scene - me personally, I'm a fan. When I first heard them towards the start of the year I wasn't sure what I thought, but having heard more of their work and being able to listen a lot of the album prior to its release, I can safely say they've got me convinced. They aren't the greatest lyricists in the world, and if you're getting the album expecting it to be a deep and thoughtful listen, then you're going to be sadly disappointed. They make fun rap music, that is easy to relate to, but still has a message. As I've said before, they remind me a lot of Das EFX, who only managed to stay around for a couple of albums, but hopefully these two boys are going to be here for a little longer. Get your copy of the album HERE.

Rizzle Kicks - When I Was A Youngster (Mark System's Digital Soundboy Remix)

The Collective - Teardrop (Children In Need Single)

Ed Sheeran, Wretch 32, Tinchy Stryder, Ms. Dynamite, Gary Barlow, Tulisa, Chipmunk, Rizzle Kicks, Mz Bratt, Dot Rotten & Labrinth all hook up to bring us the official Children In Need single for 2011, which is a simple but effective re-working of Massive Attack's iconic track, Teardrop. The official video sees all of the artists in the studio with some stripped back and thought-provoking visuals, which puts emphasis on the incredibly powerful lyrics. Very well done.

Rizzle Kicks - When I Was A Youngster

YEYAAAHHH! Premiered on Radio 1 earlier today, here is the second single from Rizzle Kicks' forthcoming debut album, Stereo Typical, which you can now pre-order over at HMV. I liked Down With The Trumpets, absolutely love this and have some stuff in my iTunes that makes me very excited for what these two have to offer over the next 12 months. Some people don't seem to 'get them', but I don't think there's much to get - they are two very talented brothers who make incredibly fun and catchy reggae infused Hip-Hop. They are cool, unique and have created a sound like nothing I've ever heard before - I like that. Update: peep the official video HERE.
