Drake getting punk’d is pretty amazeaballs.

Can’t seem to physically stop listening to Heart & Sole from Mikill Pane’s Guest It EP, featuring Paloma Faith. Apologies to anyone that has crossed my path this week and had to put up with my dodgy Faith impressions (it’s the “I look down” bit that really gets me - give it a go you won’t look back). Her hook has got real old school R n B vibes and I love her singing the word ‘crepes’ so seriously and the ridiculous sentiment that his shoes make her want to rip her clothes off.

As it happens I also blind fed Mikill last week for SBTV, the results coming to the channel soon. 

Just being bowled over by the Biebs, whatevs.

Really like this newness from Avicii

Thanks to the guys over at What’s in My Handbag for doing a little profile on yours truly! Have a read HERE.

Last week rapper Sway, t4’s Georgie Okell, SBTV’s Liam Tootill and myself had a few chats about topical issues for BBC 3’s Free Speech programme. Here’s the first one on drugs…

Just found this guy called Kwes. SBTRKT vibes over afrobeats, into it.

Maya Jane Coles’ remix of Lianne La Havas’ “Lost & Found” is so my jam at the moment. Wierdly I shared my music tech A level classes with Maya…she’s put hers to slightly better use though, h-obviously. Fruity Loops anyone?!

I’m really into Michael Kiwanuka, and this newness from him is no exception. Also love the collab he did with Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys.

Yeah I’ll always love Nicki, and her latest single the heavily Lil Wayne influenced Beez in the Trap is no exception. But I remember listening to her early mixtapes when she was just getting some buzz and thinking she was really gonna be different. So intrigued I was, I even forgave her for playing sexually ambigious around the time her first album was dropping and agreed that her eccentric wig fetish and crazy characters really did signal she was hip hop’s Lady Gaga. But taking pop music in a new direction or being a serious social commentator she ain’t…

Watching Nicki take most of her clothes off and letting her bumper sing half the song to camera in this vid just reminds me of Lil Kim- a legend certainly, but one that kicked the door open for females in rap in the 90’s in the only way she knew how- by stripping off. Hardly progress over 10 years later now is it.

Big tune though…
