At long last the official video has landed!!
I’ve been a long time supporter of Labz since literally playing a demo of an amazing record he penned, produced & performed called ‘Music Box’ back in July 2008. I was super happy when I heard he’d got signed to Simon Cowell’s record label Syco.
Infact Labz is the 1st non X Factor contestant to be signed to the label. That should tell you something about the calibre and genius of the bad boy behind the Tinie Tempah, ‘Pass Out’ & ‘Frisky’ beats.
He is one gifted individual and is definitely ready to set the charts alight with his debut single ‘Let The Sun Shine’ so without further ado.
Enjoy the video.

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.
Enjoy this vid my R&B fam and show some love by leaving a comment!

‘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!
