Who would of thought a couple of months back these three would be on stage representing and getting reloads together, in Malia. It's nice to see people spitting side by side. Who knows I haven't seen an official Skepta and Ghetto Collab, well apart from The Streets and a few others. Let's open the doors and start working with the whole scene and allow the politics. Catch the usual Westwood jokes w
Wiley and Skepta in Coventry for 1xtra Live, performing to a crowd of over 5000 people. Check out them doing Rolex Sweep and Wearing My Rolex. Also do not forget to get practicing your Rolex Sweep's they will need some back up dancers.
Skepta & Logan 'Mannequin' Sama (Right) and one guy from Men In BlackSkepta has finished posing for his new video - In a Corner, which I wasn't invited to because apparently I would of stole the show or something? They didn't clear up the details but I'm sure the video goes along these lines:All the artist's stand in a corner, screw face and have a bottle of champagne in their hand.Anyone who doesn't like this track UNBLOCK your ears you probably use cocoa butter to paint walls and have Alvin & the Chipmunk's album on regular rotation.
Now I was unable to attend the most recent Dirty Canvas but I've heard a lot about it and thought I'd drop a couple of pictures from one of my favourite photographers of the moment, from his collection of images taken that night. TANGOO!THE AWARD FOR THE MOST RANDOM SKANK GOES TO:I invision everyone across the world attempting this hot number.1) DETERMINATION2) LEAN BACK - POUT - STRIKE A POSE THERE'S NOTHING TO IT3) AFTER, ACT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!4) WORLD DOMINATION IS ONLY A POUT AWAY.Pinch - Punch - the first day of the month - NO RETURNS.
Enjoy last night? That's only the beginning so don 't get too excited just yet. Those who missed Logan's Show last night (HOW COULD YOU?) you can listen back on www.whatson.com/kiss100 and scroll down to click Logan Sama ordownload some of the set here. Kano flops out as the guest so Skepta, Ghetts, Wiley and JME turn up to entertain. Listening to this on the motorway was mad I nearly crashed 10times from me skanking and flipping out my gunfingers."I like your mixtape cover, but I ain't feeling your mixtape brother"Big up Scribbler.
Last night saw on Rinse it wasn't just Griminal Vs Chipmunk (and him sending back to some any south mc mems or something) but Skepta dropping in on Ghetto's set. Skepta did get him a couple of times and it was hard to hear Ghetts most of the time but like the picture says DUB FOR DUB would be grand as a pound. Why does Wiley always try and get involved in all these wars? Oh yeah Maniac is sending for some producers check the link for the war report.Audio (Big up RWD forum)
The indirects were there from a few months ago, then it went quiet. Now the public have heard one of the new tracks from Skepta's soon to drop album Greatest Hits. Skepta - I'm Here, take a listen and hear what comes after the 'There's no introduction needed' bar.Is the hype back on? will there be dubs waiting on Logan's Kiss show on Monday the 10th or is this some clever tactics to gain album sales? either way hyperfrank loves the hype, it's her middle name (well kind of).Oh yeah the show also had a little track showing us just what Ghetto's Freedom of Speech will be like and I like... Ghetto - Commandments
Here is that pic of Skepta and Plastician at Tel Aviv airport my friend Alex took, which I mentioned before. Skepta on the way home on the Stansted Express a few days later.This is the night Skepta randomly showed up at a Black Lips gig at Cargo. Ian from the band rubbed blood on his face for some reason.---In other stalking news: Queenie spotted Wiley at a kebab shop in Stoke Newington at 1 AM this morning. Wiley told him he was a fan of the new Dizzee album, but wouldn't let him take any pics of him with his meaty feast. I just got Soulfood Vol. 2 - full report in the next few days.

Skepta has announced his present for Mrs Adenuga on Mothers day in theform of his latest single "Sweet Mother". The song is sampled from anAfrican party favourite originally performed by Prince Nico Mbarga andapparently there will be a video and maybe an official single release(Whatever that means!?)Listen to a snippet of it over at www.myspace.com/skepta
Well, what can I say, been waiting for Skepta’s debut album for soooo---oooh long and now when it's finally here, I can honestley say it was worth the wait. Even if some tracks are old like Doin It Again (Duppy) and Single which has been one of my fave tracks for some years now, "Greatest Hits" feels fresh,..................................................
