TOO MUCH DOES IT AGAIN

Really looking forward to this one, something a little different

COOKOUT - VIDEO OF THE YEAR

And in a nice end to the year we got number one spot in Triple R's end of year best video round up. Check the link below. Massive shouts to Rosco and crew for their continued support throughout the year and here's to a bigger and better 2010!


01. The Cookout (M-Phazes RMX) - Nine High

After years of traveling back and forward between the UK and Oz, 2009 finally saw the official debut from one of the deadliest MC trios on any continent. Although Phazes produced several album tracks, this one wasn't reworked until after the record was on shelves. Our man's Fraksha, Scotty Hinds & Felony are all set to drop some heavy solo mixtapes early in the new year, but until then enjoy the lads as they run a supermarket sweep that Ian Turpie would be proud of!

Plus, how many rap groups you know kicking knowledge on aromatic duck? Nuff said!

TUNES / VIDEO'S OF '09

Its been a maaaasive year, here are some of my highlights from 2009

Devlin absolutely killed it with 'London City' i thought as do many others from its popularity this year. Proper makes me feel homesick! I've also stuck in 'Community outcast' as although its an old track the video was new this year.

DEVLIN - LONDON CITY

DEVLIN - COMMUNITY OUTCAST


'Next hype' was without doubt the number one grime tune this year and really put Tempz out there. Raves everywhere were destroyed by this tune, i dont think i've played anywhere this year where this didnt get a reload! Extra props for the jokes Westwood cameo at the beginning

TEMPA T - NEXT HYPE


This one's my Summer jumpoff for sure! Bushbash killed it bringing Shizzle and Discreet together on the Miss Independant riddim. Pure quotables...'brush ya bladder like a broom'. I've absolutely rinsed this tune, love it!

DISCREET feat SHIZZLE - PUM PUM SHORTS


When Loco first played me this one i just screwed up my face and went 'uuuurrrrgh'! Fucking filthy! There's a a video of us on youtube somewhere when he drops it at Wobble, you should see the looks on our faces, madness!

16BIT - CHAINSAW CALLIGRAPHY


Gotta thank Loco again for putting me on to this one which i actually didnt feel when i first heard it, but boy did it grow on me. This one's emosh blaaad!

GHETTO KNOWLEDGE - DEEP WITHIN


Couldnt have a best tunes of the year list without Wiley getting in there somewhere and to be fair i could have stuck a few more in there from his 'Race against time' album from this year, but this is a percy.

WILEY - I WAS LIKE YOU


This ones another tune that absolutely bust up the dance this year with D Double and Footsie doing their double act thing like only they can over a massive Breakage beat. Some sick remixes about too

BREAKAGE feat NEWHAM GENERALS - HARD


Its been a big year for OG'Z and in particular P Money who'se 'Money over Everything' CD was one of the standout releases this year. This one here with a beat courtesy of Sukh Knight is straight up muckiness! Certified screwface whenever i hear this one

P MONEY - LEFT THE ROOM


With his unique style people been waiting on Big H to drop something solid for a good few years now and it didnt dissapoint when it arrived. 'Street crime UK' got a lot of people hype this year and with his new one 'Fire and Smoke' coming in early 2010 he's only gonna cement himself further as a big gun in the scene

BIG H - ALONE


There's probably bare tunes i've missed, but off the top right now these are my 2009 jumpoffs!

TASSIE ON THE WEEKEND...

was laaarge! To be honest i wasnt expecting much but Hobart surpassed absolutely smashed it. Me, Afficks + A13 played from 1-3 and the place was going off the whole time, in fact it was fully packed and rowdy till around 5am or so. 'Next Hype' as expected standardly killed it as did 'Hard' from Breakage and Newham Gens. Big up Grotesque and Dameza too.

Here's a little interview i did for a Hobart newspaper over there. Somehow they called me a DJ instead of an MC, but trust me i've had worse!

(click on the image to read it)

Dont forgot Wobble this Saturday at the Nightowl with one of Mexi's last shows before he moves to the states!

NEW DEVZ!

So Devs has apparently signed a nice big deal, couldnt happen to a more deserving artist really. This new one rides the lines nicely between keeping the grime fans happy and appealing to the mainstream at the same time, although the video is very 8 mile-ish. Hope the label dont try and push him as a UK Eminem 'cos that would be shit

IF YOU'RE IN LONDON ON NYE AND DONT GO TO THIS...

then slap yourself!

TOMORROW NIGHT!!!

Tattooed girls, my favourite!

MY SHOWS OF 2009

Yep, its end of the year list time once again. I'll drop my favourite tunes of the year in a bit but for now these are my favourite shows of 2009 (and luckily for me i was involved in most of them)

NINE HIGH ALBUM LAUNCH @ MISS LIBERTINE

May as well start with our own bloody show huh? The culmination of lots of hard work and round the world trips finally saw our album released earlier in the year. Byron and Loco flew over to join me and Scotty for a couple months to promo it which ended with our show at Miss Libs which was FUCKING AMAZING!!! Couldnt have asked for a better response really, had a ball!

WOBBLE 2ND BIRTHDAY @ NIGHT OWL

Not many nights last two years, especially when they pack them in month in month out like Wobble do. Every month me and Scotty alongside AC23 have a wicked time, but the birthday event really took the cake. Never seen it going off like it did that night! Big up to Cubist, Derrick and AC23!

STARKEY @ HEAVY INNIT!!, LAUNDRY

Unfortunately The Laundry has now shut its doors but this show in particular stood out for me as one of the best shows of 2009 and a highlight of a succesful year for Heavy Innit!! Selection was big, no chinstroking, lots of hype and a mad crowd. Hold tight Badddums and Affiks for continually killing it with the shows!

SKEPTA AND BLESS BEATS @ LAUNDRY

Well the Wiley show didnt happen, not that we didnt try our hardest, but situations just got out of our control. Nevertheless, we managed at the very last minute (around 6pm on the night of the show) to secure a new venue, got Skeppy and Bless down for it and had a killer. To be honest it was probably better than if the show had gone ahead in its original form as we just took it old school, riddims, bars and reloads.

M.O.P @ THE ESPY

Not much i'm gonna say on this one other than this was possibly the best and most fun i've had at a hip hop show! People who know me know i get real bored with most hip hop shows so for me to say that it had to be big!

COTTI + TES LA ROCK @ TOO MUCH, NIGHTOWL

The Too Much boys have put in a lot of work this year with some murky shows, but this one stood out for as their number one for the year. Alongside Heartical Hi Fi Cotti and Tes La Rock ripped the nightowl apart! Cottis selection was so on point, cant wait to see him here again. Big up to Fooishbar and Same-o for a wicked one!

There ya have it!

LAST WOBBLE OF THE YEAR

Its been an absolutely massive year for Wobble, particularly the last 23 months events which have been maaaasive! So we got the last one of the year next weekend so you know what to expect, Santa's, presents etc tc. Come dressed as Santa for cheap entry as well. I got my boy Mexi playing as well in one of his last sets before he jets of to the States to live so very much looking forward to this one!

SUMMER INNIT!!

the first Heavy Innit!! in the park on Sunday was a massive success! Drinks were flowing, green was burning, there was dancing, big tunes and lots of sun! Next one will be very soon so look out! Big up to Affiks and Brendan once again.

THIS FRIDAY NIGHT IN ADELAIDE

Been a lack of updates recently 'cos where i work has barred me from pretty much everything!?!?

Anyone tho, this Friday night me and Scotty are taking the Nine High thing across to Adelaide for the Crossbred Mongrels album launch party at HQ so come down if you're Adelaide based.

Flying back the next day and will be getting some well needed rest in time for this below on Sunday. It was supposed to kick off last weekend but the weather put paid to that. I'm gonna be on barbeque duties so come down and munch some meat, tofu, whatever it is you munch on and drink some alcohol!
