If you listen to my BBC Radio 1xtra R&B show you woulda heard me continuously smack Rian’s debut single ‘Getaway’ back in Jan / Feb 2010. It featured the Grime Godfather Wiley and now RP’s back with banger no: 2.
The follow up is called ‘Stereotypes’ due to drop October 25th.
Watch him storm the charts in 2010 and beyond.

‘Selecta’ is the forthcoming single from Mz Bratt aka Cleopatra Humphrey, the UK’s leading female MC. ’Selecta’ has started a tug of war with labels currently scrambling for her signature!

The fresh new single, produced by Redlight has been described as a genre defying mix of old skool jungle, garage, grime and electronic funk. Look out for mixes from Greenmoney and the legendary General Levy!!!
The Vid is finally here…Check it out!

A massive highlight for me this week was when I hooked up with Goodie Mob & Gnarls Barkley member Cee Lo Green for an interview. The southern soulster is such a top man!
Whilst engaging in conversation regarding the forthcoming solo album ‘Cee Lo Green is The Lady Killer’, he explained that this is an unofficial video but because it’s blown up so quickly, much the same as his hit Crazy, they had to throw something together until the Official Video comes @ ya.
It’s already had nearly 3 million views which establishes it as a sure fire viral hit.

Watch out for my full i/view special with the The Lady Killer himself on BBC Radio 1xtra…In the meantime enjoy this video version of the single ‘F-*k You’.
I must warn you that the content & language is highly explicit and should not be viewed or heard if you are under 16.
Otherwise enjoy and feel free to leave a comment.

Wassup my R&B fam!
Here’s a unique music video taken from a new album entitled ‘ I’m gonna be somebody’ by UK soulster, Michael Lloyd Pinq.
The soulful track and beautiful cinematography of this video, materialise the singer’s determination to triumph over adversity as a black kid growing up without a father in London. If you’re into the likes of Anthony Hamilton, there’s no doubt you’ll be feeling this.
It’s a video’s which has a narrative and positive social message so peep it, enjoy and please leave a comment!
