Usher ft Will.I.Am - OMG

“They call me US-HER-RA-YM-OND….” and “You remind me of a girl that I once knew” but not forgetting the song that taught us how to do the thunder clap and rockaway with a R&B touch, “I said Yeah, Yeah…Yeah, Yeah” all these lyrics make up some of the biggest hits created by R&B superstar, Usher Raymond.

Having released his album ‘Here I Stand’ in 2008, and going on to spot the biggest pop star since the late Michael Jackson; Justin Bieber. Usher is back, with a new sound thanks to the auto-tonic/ pance (Pop-Dance) genius Will.I.Am.

This video has to be received with an open mind, this track shows Usher’s maturity as an artist, with him being able to change his sound but keep the Usher edge.

Released to national outlets on March 30th 2010.

Vex- Pour Some Hennessey

Formerly known as Vexman, the forest hill answer to (blank)…. Although I can’t seem to come up with a comparison don’t get me wrong, I haven’t heard such strong, passionate lyrics without containing a swear word in the longest of time. ‘Pour Some Hennessey’ is the brand new video released beside Vexes mixtape ‘Anger Management’ which is due to flood the roads late this month.

I’m not generally a Hennessey drinker, but this song contains such truth and lip releasing metaphors, I can’t help but love it, I see great things for this young south London boy, coming from nothing isn’t easy, but making yourself something is the hardest thing to achieve.

I present to you rap fanatics: Pour Some Hennessey – VEX 2010 (Anger Management)

 

Love, Peace and Hennessy

Nathan- Pass Out FREESTYLE RMX

South London singing sensation Nathan is back on the radar, from the days of ‘Come into my room’ to his newly released song ‘Caught me slippin’ featuring the likes of Flo-Rida. Nathan is back, and by the looks of it; staying here for good.

Currently ripping up the states, Nathan has come along way since that day when he met Alicia Keys, his charm, ambition and showmanship still remains; even if he isn’t willy bouncing.

It seems as if Nathan’s talents don’t just lie in his ability to hit a high note and stay in pitch, this Lewisham lad can also spit a couple bars, and if I must say; they are as hot as the sun right now.

Spitting a few rhymes over Tinie Tempah’s -Pass Out, I present Nathan doing his own thing whilst talking a visit to the RNG Show!

 

Peace, Love and Passsss Out

Shooting Star Poets

Gun and knife crime isn’t just affecting the lives of Londoners, but most recently the contagious culture has found its way towards the northern city of Liverpool and area of Merseyside. SAMM (Support after murder and manslaughter) have been supporting a group of six grime emcee’s and a female singer to create and release their debut single Campaign Time.

Due to the fact that such extreme and violent crime is on the increase in the area’s of Liverpool and Merseyside the group have come together under the umbrella of ‘Strummerville’ and committed themselves to change. Having all focused their energies on the positive attributes of their hometowns, the group have strategically targeted young people through their music. Although Shooting Star Poets are a northern based group, London emcees Trim and Obese also feature on this heartfelt rhythm.

Campaign Time is due for release on the 5th April 2010 and will be officially launched at Everton FC on the 31st March 2010.

Below you can watch the video for Campaign Time; regardless of the quality I suggest that you listen to the lyrics and be gobsmacked, for this group isn’t generic, but the message is.

 

Peace, Love and Life

Mariah Carey ft Nicki Minaj- Up Out My Face

So MiMi is once again providing a platform for yet another rapper, having previously worked with the likes of, Missy Elliot, Da Bratt and ODB who would blame her for seeing this opportunity and flying with it.

Nicki Minaj aka The Black Barbie has been the icon and influence for many women around the world, contagiously seeing these young ladies change their names and image. Size 6 waist and size 14 hips, easily brought, but not so easily executed.

I feel it’s my Diva Duty to present this new video by Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj called – Up Out My Face.

I hope you enjoy Lads and Ladettes.

 

Peace, Love and Pure satisfaction

Diva and the Magnificent Dynamo

Magic has always had a space in my oversized heart, possibly from childhood when my mum brought me the ultimate beginners guide to magic from our local Sainsbury’s. Going through life constantly hearing “let me work my magic” whether a dress maker, a doctor trying to cure a common cold, avoiding my allergies to medication or a guy trying to talk to me.

However Dynamo defines the definition of amazing. I witnessed a room of like minded people be shocked with Dynamo’s talent of illusions, card tricks and unexplainable talent, one person after another agreed that he makes the world wonder if ‘Jesus, was even that great’. An out of context statement? No way, I wonder if this Bradford town street magician is an evolved, reincarnated version of Jesus. In a time of hope, is Dynamo the prophet our world has been looking for? Check out his showreel and tell me what you feel.

I’d like to add, I have never seen something so real to the eye, but unreal to the spirit, meeting Dynamo has given me hope, listening to his story, seeing his progression. Amazement is an understatement to my emotions at this point.

 

Love, Peace and Magical
