Wretch 32 - F64 (SBTV Season 3)

Here is the first episode from the highly anticipated Season 3 of SBTV's critically acclaimed F64 series. Jamal has drafted in Wretch 32 for this one, who's new single is out @ midnight tonight and debut album is out on August 21st. One of the most talented MCs that this country has seen for years, maybe ever (yeah I said it). Go and support this guy, he deserves it.

Was planning on doing lots of catching up on my return from Cornwall, but there is far too much to do, so I recommend you just go and check SoulCulture, RWD, WeAreSme & 2DopeBoyz for everything that has been happening over the past 8 days. Personal highlights for me have been Watch The Throne x Otis video (of course) the You Need Me remix and the Common/NaS video. Got lots of exciting and exclusive stuff coming up in the next few weeks/months to make up for my time away. Promise.

Don't forget Ed's t-shirt competition closes @ 12am TOMORROW night! Enter HERE!

Jamie Woon - Shoulda (A64)

Jamie Woon with a stunning performance of Shoulda for SBTV, which is one of my favourite tracks from his debut album Mirrorwriting - still the best release of 2011. Guy is a genius.

Clement Marfo & The Frontline - Champion (A64)

Clement Marfo & The Frontline is a 7 piece band from South London, who are incredibly talented and refreshing. They have dope rhymes, lots of soul and a clear passion for what they are doing, which comes through in their music. Here is their brilliant A64 that was put up today, and you can also watch a sick performance that they did for ID Online last week, HERE. Expecting exciting things from this lot.

Chase & Status - Producers House

SBTV catching up with production duo Chase & Status at their central London studio. This is the best series that SB has going right now; really not feeling the Warm Up Sessions. Will & Saul have come such a long way, but are still as humble as ever.

The Year of Diggi

With the release of his F64 for SBTV and the new mixtape hosted by the mixtape master DJ Ames; what better time to write about a man who has started 2010 stronger than any other.

After many years of Underground appreciation both alone and as 1/2 of the Natural Born Spittaz, it seems as though Mystro is popping up here, there and everywhere these days. I personally have been following him for years; however I know people that have only just recently discovered one of the best MC’s this country has ever seen.

When I make a statement like that, it’s not something that should be taken lightly either, because there are some incredible lyricists out there right now. However; this man is pretty special in so many different aspects. His flow is second to none and I would go as far in saying that his lyrics are some of the best I’ve ever heard. He can do anything - from serious stuff (Rock This World) to 7 minute yearly reviews (UK Rap Up 2009) with time to throw in the odd spoof for good measure (Mess I Ever Had). Pretty unique, hey?

Now for the two things I mentioned earlier in the post; his F64 and the new mixtape. Honestly, amazing. Considering the lack of quality and thought that have gone into the majority of the recent F64’s, I was ecstatic to find that Example and Pro Green both have one in the works and that Mystro has gone and done the best yet: WATCH.

The mixtape is brilliant; treating us to old tracks, new tracks and a couple of exclusives - a must for any Mystro fan and perfect for anyone trying to get into this man’s music. DJ Ames provides the perfect host and it comes with some of my favourite Diggi tracks, including ‘Come Fly With Me’, ‘U Live & U Learn’ and the incredible re-working of my favourite Luda track, ‘Like Dat Potion’. Not much else needs to be said apart from, educate yourself by watching the F64 and downloading the mixtape (link below). Also; if you wanna support him, get onto iTunes and pur-chase the E.D.T. EP and look out for the Digmund Freud EP later on in the year, which is part of the lead up to the highly anticipated debut LP; Mystrogen.

“That’s why it’s time for Mys to really hit the Earth now!”
