Cor' Grimey! We're Taking A Break

We 'ere at Cor' Grimey are taking a break from blogging for a bit but don't stress fellow grime fans we'll be back in the summer to bring you all things grimeyy!


Safee famalam!
From the Cor' Grimey team.

We Aint Makin Love - Scotty Unfamous feat. Miss. Vexy & Rhiality Check

Jheeze! Swear Down TV's Scotty Unfamous proves she's not a one trick pony with 'We Aint Makin Love' featuring Miss. Vexy and Rhiality Check. The track is a soulful, slow jam that wouldn't sound out of place being sung by Beyonce (oh yeah we went there). This isn't Scotty's first try at music (remember her version of Marvins Room?) and we gotta say we're liking the vibe she's giving with this one. Looks like we're gonna be watching Scotty for music aswell as laughs.

Benjamin Ad - That's Alright

Jheeze! South London lyricist Benjamin AD is back on top form with 'Thats Alright' for Urban Flash. The Universal signed artist goes innn with his latest track, off the upcoming mixtape 'Chapter 0.5'. 'Ere at Cor' Grimey Benjamin has always been an artist to watch and he proves it yet again, check it out!

Solo - Love Don't Live Here

We 'ere at Cor' Grimey have been lucky enough to come across some 'ardd remixes of tracks from wayy back in the day (check out Premz 'Blue Skies' we blogged earlier this week) and London based artist Solo has brought about another one this time of Rose Royce 1978 hit 'Love don't live here anymore' with the deep 'Love Don't Live Here' on MC.TV. The track has Solo examining on how life is on the streets with his personal lyrics and 'ard lyricism highlighting how sadistic it can be on the streets "cause the only time a bird's on my head, is when bird's giving..man you heard what I said". With sick lyricism and deep themes Solo is definitely one to watch. Check it out!

L Marshall - The Wait Pt. 2 ft. Sincere, Sneakbo

Year of the underground?

Ahh yeah *Wretch 32 voice* It's looking like a great year for the underground scene with Sneakbo who recently have been jamming around the likes of Big Sean and D'Banj on the new 'Oliver Twist' video (if you haven't seen it, check it out fam!) and now L Marshall starting to storm the scene with the soon to be BANGER 'The Wait Part 2' alongside Sneakbo and Sincere. 

We 'ere at Cor' Grimey like how the track showcases L Marshall great vocals and spitting ability over the 'arddd drum and bass influenced instrumental, which completely embodies the positive feel of the track; alongside Sincere who's sickk yet serious lyrics complements the track nicely.

But our main highlight has to be Sneakbo's part on the track not only for how it marks his significant rise in the UK music scene but for the deep lyrics aswell "And my mum is on a mission, two jobs to get paid, so I'm working till I'm sweating, I'm a slave to my name" which definitely shows the artists development lyrically. End of the day there's no doubting how much this track is a BANGER! And we have full respect for the positive underlying message this song conveys in the track. It's looking like the wait is over for these three underground artists to gain some recognition in the mainstream UK music scene.

J Spades - Nightmare

J Spades goes 'ardd with the visuals for 'Nightmare' on his forthcoming mixtape 'MMMP (More Money More Pagans)' on Rap City TV. The London based artist's grimeyy bars goes inn over the 'ardd instrumental switching up the flow throughout and spitting about a theme we can all (try) relate to getting that 'dough up'. End of the day with tracks like this we 'ere at Cor' Grimey are just waiting on the mixtape now due for release on the 28th.

Ard Adz & Sho Shallow - Warm Up Sessions

If there was a moral to come from grime duo Ard Adz & Sho Shallow is that 'hard work pays off'. As with a mad work rate and along with that a series of 'ardd releases Ard Adz & Sho Shallow has now got themselves onto SB.TV (finally) with this sickk 'Warm Up Session'. There's no doubting the lyrical force of the Brixton duo with the two artists switching back and forth with a series of 'ardd bars "rockstar life, I don't sleep I'm not Dappy". We 'ere at Cor' Grimey are happs just by seeing them on such a major network but also that this is only marking the beginning for Ard Adz & Shallow to storm the UK music scene.

GRIMEY REFIX: Premz - Blue Skies

Now out of all the grimeyy refixes we've heard we 'ere at Cor' Grimey came to the conclusion that the majority of grimeyy refixes are of 'ardd modern tracks. But Premz returns to prove us all wrong by doing a grimeyy refix of 1978 hit (no joke fam!) 'Mr Blue Sky' by rock bank Electric Light Orchestra (no seriously); may look like an odd refix for such an artist but don't judge a book by its cover, it's definitely an 'arrdddd BANGER from Premz who's sick lyricism wraps round the remixed rock instrumental nicely. End of the day this refix just shows what makes Premz stand out and that is because he isn't afraid to try something different so check it out!

C4 Set Featuring Trilla, Bomma B, Dapz, Scorpz, Romo & A Star

When we 'ere at Cor' Grimey hear an 'arrddd grime set you can probably imagine that we just get gassed, but when we came across this one with the likes of C4, Bomma B, Dapz and Trilla we got gassed by seeing the names alone. Every artist goes inn over a medley of Preditah instrumentals. Make sure you especially check it out at around 15:20 where C4 completely goes inn with two reloads which just had us going muadd *jumping around shouting BRAPP!*. End of the day this is a set that's bound to get any grime fan gassed and if you don't...watch it again fam! HOUSE!

Dru Blu - Don Strapzy VS Dru Blu

With the major name change from Don Strapzy, Dru Blu change brought a bit of controversy with grime fans but now the London MC makes his response...no (don't gas yourself fam!) not you fellow grime fans but to his former alias in "Don Strapzy vs Dru Blu".

Dru Blu showcases his mad lyrical ability switching flows between his two clashing personalities having the artist discuss his delevopment as an artist while also explaining why he did decide to change his name. In our opinion we don't think the name change was necessary but we do respect what it represents, and besides with smart concepts like this there is no doubting the south London artist's ability and we definitely think he's going to be storming the UK music scene very soon. Also BIG shoutout to Jimmy Chiba for the 'ardd visual production, it's looking like the cameraman's making some major movements.

Novelist, Dee Jillz, Elf - Know About Us

Wondering what the future of grime looks like? Well look no further than this trio of young artists from south London as Novelist (who is in our list of artists to watch for), Dee Jillz  (another artist in our list of artist to watch for) and Elf collaborate in the grimeyy "Know About Us". Every artist goes inn with Novelist's grimeyy bars "I don't care if your CD's sick, it will get thrown up like say I vomited", Dee Jillz showcasing his sickk flow and Elf 'ard lyricism complementing the grimey instrumental nicely. End of the day its great to see the next generation going just as 'ardd as a lot of established artists in the grime scene. Check it out!

Danny Graft - F64 [S3.EP32]

Cor' Grimey geezah mate! It's been awhile since we've heard Danny Graft doing a spitting session (but he's dropped a. But prior an 'ardd warm up session last year, The Manor's very own joins the established list of artists doing an F64 for SB.TV. The artist goes inn with his laddish spitting style but don't be fooled if you've been a fan of Danny from time like we have you'd know that behind that is some serious truth written bars in what he spits which clearly evident in this session. Check it out!

Ayhay - Man On The Bus Freestyle

Ayhay goes 'ardd with some freestyle firee for S-Star TV. Jumping on S-X's grimeyy 'Man On The Bus' instrumental the South West London artist brings a few sick punchlines to the spitting session 'talk is cheap, unless your calling Babestation'. The thing we liked about Ayhay from the first time we heard him on the sick 'Propane Freestyle' alongside Retro Apollo (if you haven't seen it check it out fam!) and still do now is his energy he brings to his lyrics which has definitely caused him to stand out in our list of upcoming artists.

GRIMEY REFIX: Benny Banks - Rack City Freestyle

Benny Banks jumps on Tyga's 'Rack City' to drop a 'ardd freestyle. The freestyle has Mr Banks going inn about his lifestyle and how much it has changed. We 'ere at Cor' Grimey especially like how the artist remixed the chorus "...rack rack city bitch, rack city with a bit of Bada Bing in it" which very few artist do in a remix. End of the day with the release of his 'ardd debut single 'Bada Bing!' (Check it out fam!) it's safe to say that Islington hailed rapper Benny Banks is making waves in the UK music scene and this freestyle definitely shows why. Check it out!

FIRE IN THE CYPHER!: Sneak Peak TV - The Cypher Cycle feat. Deviate, Odotsheaman, NickNotez, Solar & Frost

Yess! It's been awhile since we've seen an 'arddd cypher but this South London one definitely goes in our list of 'Fire in the Cypher' cyphers with Deviate, Odotsheaman, Nick Notez, Solar and Frost for Sneak Peak TV. Jumping on Preditah's 'ard 'Circles' instrumental every artist goes inn! (as you'd expect) Especially Odotsheaman with his 'sick lyricism "Try hype, your getting fried like a chip pan, regardless move heartless like Tin Man", Nick Notez who's aggresive flow wraps around the grimeyy instrumental and Solar who recovers nicely on his second time round. End of the day this is bound to get any grime fan gassed just by the instrumental but add a few 'ard artist you know the cypher's going to be muadd! Check it out!

KOF - Child Of The Ghetto

When we first heard this song on BBC 1xtra we knew it was gonna be big. At last KOF has dropped a music video for 'Child Of The Ghetto'. Dubbed as the unofficial song for the current #Kony2012 campaign, 'Child Of The Ghetto' is a tale of the hardships and struggles EVERYONE can relate to. If this is anything to go by, 2012 is gonna be a BIG year for KOF.

C4 - Off Track (BBK Remix) feat. JME, Frisco & Jammer

When we 'ere at Cor' Grimey heard C4's debut single 'Off Track' we knew it was a BANGER! With the catchy chorus, sick instrumental (produced by Preditah) and 'ardd lyricism from C4, so to be honest we didn't know how the track could get any 'arder. But BBK proves us wrong with JME, Frisco and Jammer jumping on the track with the 'Off Track BBK Remix'. All the artists spit firee on this grimeyy hit especially Frisco whose mad flow destroys Preditah's instrumental; it was especially great to see tweeting grimestar JME go inn on his part as this is the only new track we've heard from him since his debut single '96 F*ckeries' (we want a new mixtape!) but still there's no doubting his grimeyy bars go inn! End of the day this is proof that if you want to make a grime track 'arder just do a grimeyy remix...or get BBK on the track.

Pepstar - Russian Roulette 4 (Trailer)

Pepstar has been known for his 'arrdd visual concepts with his music videos for tracks such as 'Role Reversal' (If you haven't seen it check that out NOW!). But his most stand out and long running visual has to be for his gripping 'Russian Roulette' series which so far (if you haven't seen it, you know what to do...) have been going inn and has time after time left us 'ere at Cor' Grimey at the edge of our seats especially his latest one 'Russian Roulette 3' that's left us desperate to know what happens next. Now 7 months on Pepstar releases the trailer for the 'Russian Roulette 4' the last of the grimeyy thriller visual series and it has already got us feeling tense. Check it out and tell us what you think!

Grimeyy TV: Venus vs Mars Pilot Episode

Another day, another Grimeyy TV and we're looking at new Comedy-Drama 'Venus vs Mars'n from PurpleGeko Media & Talented and Young. 'Venus vs Mars' follows the story of Venus (Played by Letitiah Hector) a woman on a quest to find her true love and the ups and down of her trying to find that special somebody. The pilot episode introduces all the main characters in the forthcoming series and follows Venus on her first blind date. The episode had a fair few moments which made us LOL 'ere at Cor' Grimey and we're enjoying the interesting storyline and dialogue from the characters. End of the day it's looking like the start of a great series and we cannot wait to see what comes next. Check it out!

Say'So - This is Me

It's not often that you hear an artist go personal on a track but upcoming artist Say'So proves that when they do the track's great with 'This is Me'. The track has the London based artist going deep about his life with themes of family, religion and friends. Despite how depressing the themes may be, Say'So spits the overall feel of the track embodied through the chorus ''I guess you think I'm doing good yeah, well I'm trying and looking for a good year'' which highlights Say'So's positive underlying message of how he is trying to better himself for the future. Overall we 'ere like an UK artist who can go personal and spit real bars on a track. So Say'So we salute.

Bru-C Freestyle

Anyone doubting how 'ardd artists go in the north? Well Nottingham's Bru-C is bound to make you think twice with his 'ardd freestyle for Certified Visions. This is definitely a high quality spitting session from the midlands MC, with a mad flow which wraps around this sick instrumental and 'ardd punchlines "You man are small like minimum wage". One thing we 'ere at Cor' Grimey like about Bru-C is his aggression on the beat which has him effortlessly switching up his flow at parts of the session and to us that definitely stands out. Check it out!

Young Rage - If I Ever, I Wont Ever

Young Rage speaks to the females with 'If I Ever, I Won't Ever'. With a overly 'aarrddd instrumental taking Rage into the song, he goes inn with bars about that one special gyal ''You're my partner you're my friend you're my lover, but no one knows how we really met eachother, but I'll keep that a secret for me and you, you're smiling right now as you hear this tune''. End of the day this is a laidback tune to chill out to.

Redzz feat. Leddra Chapman - Tables Turn

East London lyracist Redzz teams up with upcoming vocalist Leddra Chapman for the overly grimeyy 'Tables Turn'. 'Ere at Cor' Grimey we love collaborarions between singers and rappers and this one does not dissapoint. Another reason (if you really need one) we knew this was gonna be 'ardd: its produced by none other then Ayo Music (ahhhh yeaahhh) so sit back, relax and hit that play button...

Political Peak - Scene Smasher

It's been a good start of the year for Brixton's Political Peak with his 'ard Guns and Roses EP and now with his very own Scene Smasher for P110.  Political Peak never fails to drop a sick freestyle and this is just another example why, with his simplistic flow and 'ard rhymes complementing Tyga's 'Rack City' instrumental nicely. If we had one negative is that its a bit of a short freestyle from the London MC maybe he should of calmed on the 'listens' and just started 'spitting' (see what we did there?) but regardless there is no doubting how 'ard he goes on this. Also big shoutout to P110 media, its looking like they're getting more sicker artists on their channel and we 'ere at Cor' Grimey are respecting that!

Krept, Konan & Yungen - Go Down South (ft Chip)

Wasn't it ironic that earlier this year Chip (formerly known as Chipmunk) was sending for the punchline pulling duo Krept and Konan and now they've made a track together? Well we 'ere at Cor' Grimey came to conclusion that none of that matters when the track's 'arrrddddd!

'Go Down South' has the Play Dirty (including newcomer Yungen) and CMAR collaboration goes inn with a flurry of punchlines "The girl said she's at a seminar, word to the Scottish it's my house where's she heading bruh (Edinburgh)". Yungen definitely brings firee to track showing his rightful fit in the Play Dirty collective "I don't jam man, these girls know I'm doughnuts". End of the day with all beef squashed and a 'ard new member, it looks like Play Dirty are playing some serious power moves in the UK music scene and not to mention Chip who's now signed to T.I.'s label 'Grand Hustle'. Check it out! 

Rival - Rival Rush

Rival returns with 'Rival Rush' from his recently released EP 'Lord Rivz'. The track has the East London MC spitting about his views on the grime scene and what sets him apart from other MCs which is obviously evident in his mad flow shining through this grimeyy instrumental. One thing we 'ere at Cor' Grimey like about Rival is his aggression on the track which is one of the many traits that has established him as a major lyrical force in the grime scene. So make sure you check out his latest EP out now!
