Josh Kumra - Quickie

*Wretch 32 voice* Ahhh Yeaahh! Josh Kumra goes innn with this very special cover of Miguel's 'Quickie'. The 'Don't Go' collaborater has since been seemingly quiet music-wise, but not anymore. Kumra's soft, husky vocals really add something to the acoustic cover, both complimenting one another. This guy looks like a very exciting artist, we're definetely going to look out for him in the future.

Maverick Sabre - Video Games/ Heaven

Irish crooner Maverick Sabre shows just how its done with his grimeyy mashups of Lana Del Ray's 'Video Games' and fellow Brit Emeli Sande's 'Heaven'. The 'aarrdd take on both songs is taken from Maverick's Live Lounge. As usual his unique, Amy Winehouse-esque voice just comforts the music perfectly. Cor' Grimey, this guy is seriously talented, now all we need to do is cop his brand new debut album 'Lonely Are The Brave'!

Lady Leshurr - Good God

Fresh from the release of her 'ardd E.P. '2000 and L'. Lady Leshurr brings out the visuals to the first track from it 'Good God'. When we 'ere first heard this track we knew the video had to as mad as her flow and bars, and we gotta say Nang TV does a great job with it. With visual illustrations of almost every bar the Brummy MC spits which only reminds us of the video for her first single 'Lego'. Either way this a great track and video from the artist which is bound to have us putting it in repeat. Check it out!

SeeJay100 - Living My Life

Up and coming artist SeeJay100 goes inn with deep track 'Living My Life'. The track has the 'Dem Two' member spitting some personal bars about his recent life experiences including his trips abroad, his relationships and living on the streets showing his high points and low points of it all. Overall we 'ere at Cor' Grimey don't see many artists go this personal into track but SeeJay100 is one of those artists who does and we can only respect that. Check it out!

C4 - Scene Smasher

Jheez! Brummy MC C4 returns with his very own 'Scene Smasher' for P110. C4 switches up his 'ardd flow over the grimeyy instrumental alongside with some sick bars "you will never hear talk about selling weed, cause I'm not a fake gangster Ali G". Also shoutout to Preditah (who has his sick E.P. 'Circles' out now!) for the production, that just shows how much of a lethal combination the MC/producer duo are in the Grime scene. End of the day C4 never fails to get us 'ere at Cor' Grimey going Oorite! And this is no exception so check it out Oorite!?

Maverick Sabre - 'Redemption Song' - [Bob Marley] - A64

Happy Birthday Bob Marley and as a tribute to the reggae legend Maverick Sabre provides a beautiful cover of  'Redemption Song' on SB.TV A64 sessions. The grimeyy singer/rapper soulful vocals complements the reggae song perfectly. End of the day an amazing cover from an amazing artist makes this a great tribute for the legend.

WHAT'S THE E.P. SAYING?: Lady Leshurr - 2000 And L (Hosted By DJ Whoo Kid)

Jheez! US producer DJ Whoo Kid has seen himself collaborating with various UK Grime artists including Ghetts, Giggs and Wiley; now it's Lady Leshurr's turn to pave the way for state side exposure. Lady Leshurr has quickly become a major femcee in the UK music scene with a strong fan following and when we heard of this collaboration we knew it was going to be 'ardd and now with it's release we can easily say it does not fail to disappoint.

The 9 track E.P. has the brummy artist showcasing her versatility as an artist. With a combination of raw Hip-Hop tracks, Slow paced jams and them good old tracks that gets us 'ere gassed, Lady Leshurr spits firee through them all.

The thing we like about this mixtape is the originality of the tracks which the producer/MC brings to the E.P. Tracks like 'Good God' has Miss Leshurr's flow running laps round the 'ardd instrumental which just shows how much of a lethal combination they are together. One of our favourite tracks has to be 'Bun Up' where the femcee switches it up with a more reggae genre for the E.P. Either way Lady Leshurr's creativity flows through this E.P.  AND WE LOVE IT!



So end of the day what's the E.P. saying? Well our conclusion is ALORT! From UK to US Lady Leshurr is a force to be reckoned with leaving us with one question. When's the album coming out?

Krept & Konan - So Far (Ft Josh Osho) (Official Video)

Krept and Konan show how 'far' they've come with their latest release 'So Far' (see what we did there? No?) alongside singer Josh Osho. Track has the grimeyy duo reflecting on the high points of their progress in the UK music scene including their reflection on their standout tracks and their increasing popularity "southside, that's me but they 'spot' my face in Hackney (acne)" accompanied with an 'ardd instrumental while still pulling out their trademark punchlines. Along with Josh Osho wrapping up the track on the hook. End of the day Krept and Konan never fails to amazes us with their lyrical ability and as the track's underlying message show this is only the beginning for the punchline pulling duo.

Joe Black - F64 [S3.EP28]

'Ere at Cor' Grimey we like a artist who actually spits real, truthal bars, so imagine our excitement when we heard Joe Black had a brand new F64 out! As usual the North London artist goes innn, spitting about real and personal themes of the music industry ''fuck the industry, i took my product right to the customers'', going to pen ''I made a couple wrong turns on the road to riches, a couple times I had to go to prison'', swagger ''fuck swag, I've never had a Gucci belt around my waist''  and even shouts out Smokey Barz ''Tryna go from bedroom to boardroom like SB''. End of the day, Joe Black does not dissapoint, and all them people going on about his monotone voice? Try listening to the depth of his lyrics.

Fallen Angel - Paradise

Jheeze! Upcoming femcee Fallen Angel goes innn with her latest release 'Paradise' for Rap City. 'Ere at Cor' Grimey we're slightly ashamed to say this is the first time we've heard of the sicckk lyricist that is Fallen Angel (we need to repent) but we're glad we've discovered her! With deep insightful lyrics ''From the trap where the crack sells, a road to hell, tryna stack bucks but we're destined to fail''  ''kids getting hit these pricks shoot blind and it makes me sick just to witness the sight'' over a laidback, effective instrumental, this is a song to listen to if you want more than the normal 'yatts, straps and money' talk you normally get in a song.
