C Cane - Baauer Dumdum (Remix)

Demonstrating a mad flow upcoming fem'cee C Cane (see what we did there? No?) is definitely standing out as a potentially major problem in the underground scene. Check it out!

Scandal featuring Sinead O'Connor - War

No fellow Grime fans your not seeing things upcoming artist Scandal goes 'ardd alongside a sample from Sinead O'Connor with powerful track "War". 

It's not very often you hear artists putting out a serious underlying message in their tracks (and it's especially rare for artists to be sampling music from the 80's) but this works and we'll definitely be keeping an ear out for Scandal in the near future and we suggest you should to and listen to the lyrics. Scandal has something to say.

Joey Mane - Life Of A Hustler

"I'm only at it for the paper, I ain't talking 'bout no Metro"
We 'ere at Cor' Grimey like hearing fresh material so when this 'ard track from upcoming artist Joey Mane was sent to us we were not disappointed. Providing his personal outlook of life on the streets the East London artist definitely does his thing on this Hip Hop instrumental. Check it out!

Lz - Bar For Bar

"On YouTube they say that I look like Drake, just 'Thank Me Later' cause 'She Will', I'll make 'Headlines' one day"
When we 'ere at Cor' Grimey first featured Brum MC Lz's Scene Smasher the one thing that stood out was his sickk lyricism. Now returning to P110 Media for a 'Bar For Bar' session Lz proves he's still a lyrical force not to be reckoned with and with the session being only over two minutes our only criticism is that it's not long enough! Check it out!

Big Narstie - Daily Duppy

"I'm a sensitive guy but understand fam my motive is always paper"
Hello Hi! N Double A's frontman Big Narstie goes 'ardd as per usual, this time for GRM Daily's revamped Daily Duppy series. By the way big shout out to GRM Daily for creating such an innovative visual format for sickk spitting sessions like this!

Tuesday 23 October 2012

Mike GLC - Pride and Respect

"Loyalty, honour, pride and respect/ I'm a stand up n***ah I got pride in this rep"

Mike GLC brings that realness yet again with 'Pride and Respect'


Newham Generals & Rude Kid - Darren & Dan [Radio Rip]

Jheeze! The Newham generals are at it again. Just listen. Pure fiyahhhh


K Koke feat. Maverick Sabre - Turn Back [Official Video]

Finally the visuals for the hotly anticipated 'Turn Back' have dropped. Like Koke's bars, the video is a truthul, sombre affair with a glint of hope accentuated by Maverick Sabre's beautiful vocals.

Joe Fire - The Truth

"But it's hard not to get down from it sometimes, when you're out in the rain praying for sunshine"

We gotta give props to UK Overstood, practically every video they upload is a bangerrr! Our point is proven by their recently uploaded track by Joe Fire 'The Truth'. Spitting fire over the XX's Intro (an amazing instrumental if we may say so) Joe gives a deep insightful look into his life. This is a good look.

Rakaya B - Smoking Cigarettes [Grimeyy Cover]

Rakaya B brings that soulful vibe with her grimeyy rendition of Tweet's 'Smoking Cigarettes'


Flepz - Roadside Session

'Ere at Cor' Grimey we've started to get bored with the same old freestyle sessions being thrown out by the same old artists. So when we came across Flepz Roadside Sessions we were pleasantly surprised. The young artist goes innn with a controlled flow and catchy bars over the famous Tupac instrumental. Give him some time and he could grow into a Biggg artist. Remember the name Flepz.


Ard Adz and Gheezy - My Moment

Ard Adz is onto yet another banger with 'My Moment'. Gheezy spits a nice verse and carries the song well, but the spotlight is on Adz with them simple yet effective bars we get gassed to time and time again.


Devlin feat. Wretch 32 - Off With Their Heads

What happens when you put two of the 'ardest grimeyy artists on one track? It's OFF WITH THEIR 'EADS! Jheezee, we've been waiting for the visuals to this track for a while now and our long wait has not left us dissapointed. Devlin declares his return to the mainstream with the help of Wretch, and since this is only a taster of what is to come, we can't say just how excited we are for 'A Moving Picture'

WHAT'S THE MIX CD SAYING!?: Pressure - The P.R.e.view




It not unusual to have an artist dropping a promo track for a upcoming release but Stay Fresh's Pressure goes one up above the norm to drop a whole tape of freestyles, unreleased tracks and show reels for his upcoming mixtape "Grime Is Money". 

What we 'ere like about Birmingham scene as a whole is how active the Grime scene is there and Pressure's mix CD highlights that with a series of collaborators from his collective Stay Fresh and others like Grime Squad and OG'z to name a few. 

The 18 track tape has Pressure showcasing his lyricism alongside his trademark flow  (which has in our opinion makes him stand out in the Grime scene) going inn over a series of grimeyy instrumentals.

And that's a great thing about the tape is the production which complement Pressure spitting style nicely and keeps true to the grime genre to make a series of 'ard tracks so we 'ere at Cor' Grimey have to shout-out Swifta Beater, Mastermind, Neon Beats, CRT, Teeza and Pressure (yeah fam he produces!) for the production.

End of the day with a series of sick beats, 'ard features and even 'arrdder bars "The P.R.e.view" has definitely got us hyped for his upcoming mixtape "Grime Is Money" Be sure to check it out!

You can download "The P.R.e.view 'ere: 

Haze feat. Sway & Hipman Junky

Jheeeeze! Haze, Sway and Hipman Junky collaborate on the funked up, laidback 'So Many Ways'. All artists deliver as per usual, but all we want to know is; who is that girl? Cah she went innnnnnn!


Don Menna - Alone Tonight

"Its just me and that pen"

Woiiiii! Don Menna goes well and truly innnn with his latest release 'Alone Tonight'. The South London rapper has been doing his thing for  a while now, but we really like the direction he's going in with 'Alone Tonight'


Big Ben - Lets Talk About It [Aaliyah Freestyle]

"You buy a bottle, everybody wanna grab a cup, everybody wanna ryde, nobody wanna saddle up"

Big Ben spits that grimeyy fiyah over Drake's 'Enough Said' instrumental (of course with the beautiful vocals of Aaliyah on top). Big Ben is one of those rappers that makes spitting look easy. Big up to the underrated artist.


Blittz - Blue Sky

Blittz becomes the latest rapper to jump on the 'Blue Skies' beat. Who do you reckon gave the best grimeyy refix of 'Blue Skies' - Blittz or KS and Infecta? We're gonna stay impartial since we support both artists. All we have to say is this is a good look for Blittz.

Thursday 18 October 2012

Kidtazstik - Poppin'

16 year old fem'cee Kidtzstik goes innnn with the infectious 'Poppin'. We gotta say we see a real improvement in the Kid's lyricism and flow. Keep doing your thing Kid.


Lady Leshur - L YEAH!

Leshurr's at it again. Yep, the fem'cee unleashes that 'aardd lyricism for 'LYEAH!'. Our one complaint?  It's too damn short *sigh*  Friggin' L!


Lil Nasty - "Big"

Lil' Nasty does it BIGGG with his latest release on SBTV.

 'Ard!


Roses Gabor - Stars

With such an influx of grimeyy female singers in the game this year (Etta Bond, Cleo Sol, Russo and the girls from Stooshe to name but a few) its a competitive battle field to say the least. But Roses Gabor proves herself to be a front runner with the addictive sound and visuals of 'Stars'. Remember the name, she's sure to blow.


Greasy Geezers vs Caveman - Fry You Like Fish @ The Jam

OK we're a bit late (2 months in fact) but we had to share this infectious track with all you grime heads! Mixing comedy, old school hip hop and some serious bass, this is a combination we're feeling. It's nice to see there is still some originality amongst all the duplicates crowding the scene.


Wednesday 17 October 2012

Russo - Born To Die

One of the first artists we 'ere at Cor' Grimey featured Russo drops her 'ardd take on Lana Del Rey's hit track "Born To Die". Russo extrudes a rawness which sets her apart from a lot of singers in the UK scene at the moment. From the unique track instrumental to the simple and edgy video it's good to see the Brixton singer still as authentic as she was when we first featured her last year.

Wretch 32 - Pop?

*Ahh yeah!* Wretch 32 returns with infectiously catchy track "Pop?". Initially known for his grimeyy musical roots Wretch 32 has definitely blown in the UK scene but exclaims the already evident fact that he "ain't a popstar". Check it out!

Make sure you check out Wretch 32 latest mixtape "Wretchercise" 'ere: http://www.sendspace.com/file/objost

Novelist and Dee Jillz - Chiba Freestyle

Novelist and Dee Jillz bring it back to that old school grime vibe with their freestyle for Chiba Visuals. 'Ere at Cor' Grimey we've had our eyes on both artists for a while now and we can see real improvements in the South East London rappers.


Twiss and Yung Whizza - Dont Wanna See Us Rise

Twiss and Yung Whizza go innnn over the beat on 'Dont Wanna See Us Ride' for Chiba Visuals.

Lexx Cobain Ft Joe Black - My Life

It seems like everything Joe Black touches (or, in his case, spits on) turns to gold and that thory is completely true with his feature on Lexx Cobain's 'My Life'.  Lexx also does his thing on the track but Joe's lyricism and flow is on a whole different level to the majority of his grimeyy peers.


Monday 15 October 2012

Giggs - What N*ggas Want

Umm! Yeah that's right fellow grime fans Giggs is back and he's back with a BANGER! The track which in our opinion is reminiscent to Waka Flocka Flame's breakthrough hit 'Hard In The Paint' has the artist responding to the criticism from his absence. End of the day it's good to see the South London rapper returning to the scene after almost a year on hiatus and for all those who thought Giggs has lost it because he's been away then have a listen fam!

Jack & Max - Warm Up Sessions

"Even that got nothing on our new stuff, we got 'em seeing red and we ain't even blew (blue) up"
"I guess I'm too cool for school I left with zero degrees" 
If you thought that Krept and Konan was the only rapping duo in UK scene. Then check out London brothers Jack & Max (no fam, not from eastenders...) as they go 'ardd with so many punchlines we had to reload the video a few times.

With a description we're giving now it is easy to believe that Jack and Max are another Krept and Konan but if you watch the video you can hear their punchlines aren't solely for fun. Their personal lyrics bring a true rawness to the session and holds a underlying message about the modern world and the influences music can have. We 'ere at Cor' Grimey think that they keep dropping more sick material like this they're going to be a major problem in the scene (in a good way of course). 


Thursday 11 October 2012

Dru Blu - Clique (UK Remix)

"These rappers are phony so you don't see me with 'em, talking 'bout they're roadies but on road they keep 'em hidden"
From the very first bar Dru Blu goes 'ardd as he returns with a grimeyy refix of Big Sean, Jay Z and Kanye West's hit track "Clique". The South London artist is probably one of the first major artists to go on this track  's instrumental and he's definitely set a high boundry. So we 'ere at Cor' Grimey are saying good luck if anyone wants to have a go on this instrumental. Check it!

Miss B - 20,000 Problems

Miss B gets a few things off her mind with '20,000 Problems' for JDZ Media. With a good mixture of singing and rapping, Miss B shows she is a woman of many talents. We look forward to what she does next.


English Frank - #FrankOnDrums

English Frank pours his grimeyy vocals over a Drum'N'Bass track. Sick!


OG Niki - Changes

'Ere at Cor' Grimey we've always seen OG Niki as the UK's answer to Lil' Kim; both very urm shall we say explicit with their lyrics (with songs such as 'I Just Wanna Bang' and those infamous bars "Get fucked from the back screaming La La La), both having had beef with another female rapper (Niki with No Lay and Lil' Kim with Nicki Minaj like you didn't already know) but most importantly, both are highly undderated in terms of their lyrical ability and flows. 

So we was well chuffed when we heard this little gem from Niki, showing that she isn't just trying to gain attention with her sexual lyrics and she's actually, well quite good if we say so ourselves. Big respect to Niki, most people thought she was done after the business with No Lay, but she's shown she's still in the game.


Tuesday 9 October 2012

YJ - My Area

"University made me realise the world is bigger than just my area"

YJ delivers an inspirational message with 'My Area'. Not a 'yatt' or 'stacking that p' is mentioned, YJ is bringing that reality rap to the forefront and we can't praise him enough for it.


Karmah Cruz - BMTD

Fresh from the release of her EP 'Encryption' Karmah Cruz releases the visuals to one of our favourite tracks, 'BTMD'. Karmah Cruz captures a vibe that most rappers wish they had, she's a fierce artist amongst many 'poser' rappers who aren't in it for the music.


J Lynch - Diced Pineapples Remix

J Lynch is back again, this time with a track that shows his two strengths; rapping and singing. 'Diced Pineapples Remix' is an effortless cover, J Lynch makes it look easy.


Monday 8 October 2012

Sneakbo, Sho Shallow, Timbo, Ambush, Depzman, Ard Adz Cypher

After much anticipation SB.TV drops their latest cypher and if you saw the teaser or even the list of of names  in the title you should already know (like we do) that it's 'ardd before even giving it a listen. With a combination of sick bars (from Sneakbo, Ard Adz and Shallow), mad flows (from Depzman) and personal lyrics (especially Timbo) every artist goes inn! 

End of the day it's good to see these artists come together to make a cypher and shout out to SB.TV for setting it up. 'Ere at Cor' Grimey, we're just hoping that this is the first of many cyphers with these artists.

No Lay - Below Zero

We might aswell just do a weekly update on No Lay, 'cos every single track she drops is straight FIYAH! 'Below Zero' delivers just what No Lay is best at, fearless vocals over a sickk beat. 'Ard!


Sunday 7 October 2012

Big Narstie - Ultra Gas

Jheez! Big Narstie gets us gassed with grime bangerr 'Ultra Gas' and it's safe to say that visuals are just as mad as the bars. The N Double A frontman has been known for his standout videos on SB.TV such as his Rick Ross inspired visual for his '100 Bars of Pain' session so its no surprise that Big Narstie's come out with another unique video for the channel but we 'ere at Cor' Grimey think that videos like this shows how comedic he is which is refreshing compared to artists who come across as too serious in the UK scene. Check it out! 

TBless feat. Orlando - Rebirth

TBless comes with the catchy 'Rebirth' featuring the soulful vocals of Orlando. The chorus and bridge make this the kind of track we could see in the UK Top 40, but unfortunately TBless' bars are too real for the masses so we'll just be content with the 30,000 view it has.

Trigga Ryder & Frankie Benjamins - Still In The Hood

Trigga Ryder and Frankie Benjamins join forces for 'Still In The Hood', off their upcoming collaborative mixtape 'Next Level'. Both artists have been off our radar til now, but finally we have seen the light (praise the Lord, hallelujahhh) and this effort is reality rap at its best. Big up both artists, we cant wait for the mixtape to drop in December.

Reaper - Never Judge

"Don't think 'cause I'm a stunter, never came from the gutter, life in the slums weren't easy for a brother". Instrumental's a bit loud for the track but that doesn't effect how raw Reaper's bars are. Check it out!

Clement Marfo & The Frontline - Us Against The World

When we 'ere at Cor' Grimey had a quick play of popular football game FIFA 13 we realised that a few UK artists has made the soundtrack list including UK music group Clement Marfo & The Frontline and their 2011 single 'Us Against The World'. With a combination of 'ardd bars and great vocals this feel good track just highlights how unique this group is and we 'ere are glad that they've been put on such a popular platform. Check it out!

Stooshe - Waterfalls

Stooshe get us all nostalgic with the release of their cover of TLC's effortlessly brilliant 'Waterfalls'. Being a 90's baby, TLC were a big part of our childhood, so to see our favourite grimeyy girl group pay homage to one of the greatest groups of all time, well its a good feeling. We really like the implicit similarities to the 1994 hit, and how can we forget the appearance made by TLC's very own Tboz and Chilli at the end (still looking as beautiful as ever), if only Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez could have featured. The acapella version of Lisa's verse is a touching tribute that sounds almost as beautiful as the woman herself. R.I.P Left Eye.

Krept & Konan - Don't Judge Me (Ft Anthony Thomas)

In a recent interview with SB.TV Krept and Konan said that their music is not restricted to any specific genre which is evident with new track 'Don't Judge Me featuring Anthony Thomas. Being a much different track from their last release 'Light Up', Don't Judge Me has the UK rap duo going deep on the theme of relationships.
"You doubt you and I 'cause you're always in Uni"
We 'ere at Cor' Grimey think that this track is reminiscent to one of Drake's love songs but Krept and Konan's trademark punchlines makes this track stand out on its own. We 'ere are also introduced to Anthony Thomas smooth vocals which we're bound to keep an ear out for in the future.

K Koke feat. Maverick Sabre - Turn Back

''Been betrayed by a cuddle and a heartless hug''

K Koke and Maverick Sabre team up on the effortlessly brilliant 'Turn Back'. K Koke who's fresh from the release of his latest mixtape "Pure Koke Vol.3" drops some personal bars (a trait that makes him stand out in the UK scene) on this track and Maverick Sabre who dropped his debut album 'Lonely Are The Brave' earlier this year applies his soulful vocals to the hook.  End of the day Mista Jam asked give one word to describe this song and our response is 'ardddd! (if that counts...)


Griminal - The Most Cold

Griminal bounces back once again, displaying Grime at its Grimiest.


Dubz & Rootsman - Demons

Dubz and Rootsman team up for the overly grimeyy 'Demons'. Innn!


Vince Kidd feat. Lady Leshurr - Sick Love [Music Video]

Vince Kidd brings out the visuals to the new improved 'Sick Love' featuring none other than Lady Leshurr. With similarites and differences (the same half naked woman gyrating, but this time with a colourful feel) to the original version of 'Sick Love' we're not sure whether we like this new video better than the original, duurrttyy version that captured our hearts months ago. But one things for sure, putting Lady Leshurr on the track was a genius move!

TNGHT Feat AyHay - Higher Ground

Jheeze! AyHay goes well and truly innn over Hudson Mohawke and Lunice's sicckkk 'Higher Ground'. And there's even better news, you can download it for free! (Download link below)

Grimeyy TV: Party On The Bus!

Come on, who has not, at one point of their life thought ''A shubz on the bus would be pretty sick ya'know'' and we're with you, it would. Team Pac TV do just that (before getting sent off by the disgruntled driver) throwing some serious shapes to a house track. We can definitely see this catching on, I mean who wouldn't want to skank hardcore on a packed bus? PARTY ON THE BUSSSS!


Skepta - Ace Hood Flow

Skepta gets a few things off his chest with 'Ace Hood Flow'. The Boy Better Know veteran goes 'aardd talking about the recycled trash being used by many artists in the genre. We agree completely with every line Skepta spits, this is a track for the replay button.


Shystie - Step Off

Woiiiii! Time after time Shystie comes back with them BANGERS, and this is no different, 'Step Off' is an aggressive, full-on skankfest only the Queen Shystie could deliver. Off her recently released 'Gold Dust 2' mixtape (if you haven't downloaded it, what are you doing with your life please?), this is only a snippet of The Queen's gold.

Monday 1 October 2012

K Koke - Warning

It's been a great year for K Koke, marking his comeback earlier in January with 'Welcome Back' (if you haven't heard it check it out fam!) and afterwards a string of sick tracks with label Roc Nation. Now K Koke drops another 'ardd track "Warning" and new mixtape "Pure Koke 3". The USG frontman has definitely made a grimeyy classic and is bound to get any fan gassed and if there's more tracks like this we're defo looking forward to hear the free mixtape.

Download "Pure Koke: Volume 3" 'ere: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ll1gay
