Ok so I was doing my daily internet rounds when I stumbled across something that made me think I better book an appointment with my opticians. I did a double take and realised that in fact my eyes were not deceiving me, after seeing the headline “Cheryl Cole voted most inspirational woman of [...]

Posted on 01. Mar, 2010 by admin in Entertainment, Music

MCs have dipped into more levels of their artistry from the real rawness or amazing compositon of chosen beats to their storytelling rhymes and multiple uses of word play. What we’ve [...]

Good Music Takeover 2010: R&B
Posted on 25. Feb, 2010 by admin in Entertainment, Music
R&B had somewhat of a revitalisation last year with the strong presence of great albums from the likes of Maxwell (Black Summer’s Night), Chrisette Michelle (Epiphany), Joe (Signature), Trey Songz (Ready) & Amerie (In Love & War).
Continuing on from the popularity of Jazmine Sullivan, Jamie Foxx and Beyonce it soared as a genre and is [...]

So Im chilling with my friend and we were having our usual music breakdown banter when Ciara’s name popped up. Unsurprisingly he said that he actually really enjoyed Ciara’s last album Fantasy Ride and thinks the production was better than a lot of her previous work.
I say unsurprisingly because I know a fair amount of [...]

Hate it or love it Grime/Urban/Garage/Pop…… UK music is here to stay and YES it is improving. You can say you’re not a fan of what is being produced but one thing you can’t fault these UK artists for is their hard work.
The time and dedication they put into the music is incredible. From artists [...]

From Klashnekoff to Outkast (50-11), there have been some commercial and semi-undergound classic hooks that we’ve had the pleasure of listening to.

Top 50 Hip-Hop Hooks of the Decade (20-11)
Posted on 22. Jan, 2010 by admin in Entertainment, Music
“I’m sorry, I’m getting a little crazy. But somebody has to stand up for the hooks! They are being misused! The hooks are forced to sell the songs, not the verse! And that’s backwards.
