I got some good stuff in the post today, Heat In The Street 2, and the Crazy T/Vader/Mr Wong mixtape, which is straight garage and fucking brilliant on first listen!
Oh, and also Uptown threw in a Paperchase thing called Street Anthems which looks really good, nice roundup of all the good Essentials/Davinche/Terra Danjah stuuf, inc. So Contagious and Gone.

I think that it easily matches the N.A.S.T.Y. mix, although I guesses it kind of lacks the shock of the new that N.A.S.T.Y. had for me when I first heard it. But still...
xpost haha, it isn't?

the dizzee/doogz tune is boring. i have thought this of much grime i have heard since 'stand up tall' was released, including the rest of dizz's lp, i am coming to admit. except ruff sqwad's 'anna' and 'move to this'; do you all agree with the widow twanky blogs that have bemoaned the ruff sound qwality and mired lyrics? these songs are intensely perfectly great and i shouldnt be the first one to say so.

I disagree re Davinche though, I reckon he's a really good producer (do you still hate Terra Danjah candour?)

davinche has nice chops, and a tidy sensibility. but i find it of little consequence. if he was a uk hiphop producer i'd give him a pat on the back.
i already said i liked the grimette td stuff! has he had any new riddimic ones? because it was cock back and the sort that i wasn't so into. terra will let you all down very soon though

My version of "Anna" sounds fine, though 'cos it's all grainy mp3s for me I'd hardly know the difference anyway. Whenever I hear Ruff Sqwad tracks as instrumentals I find it difficult to imagine rapping on them cos they're so dense and multilayered ("Anna" is like a six part round!), but then later on I do hear vocals on the tracks and it makes perfect sense.
"davinche has nice chops, and a tidy sensibility. but i find it of little consequence. if he was a uk hiphop producer i'd give him a pat on the back."
I sort of get where you're coming from here in that he's very much a producer producer rather than a sonic artiste, but I don't know if that's such a bad thing. Stuff like "Ps & Qs" or Wiley's "Baby" or "Leave Me Alone" or "Grimey" work really well as foundations for great rap/pop tracks. He's like the K Warren of grime maybe. Or... no... No I'm struggling to think of a 2-step parallel right now that really fits. But yeah I'm love "Ps & Qs" at the moment, it's like generic grime that makes generic grime seem like a brilliant thing, like those second tier Neptunes tracks that are actually secretly first tier (lotsa Clipse stuff obv).

xpost - purely coincidence that Kano's on a third of the tracks, right?

that talent quest thing was a bit of a joke. basically, its a case of if youre pretty and female (and look white), scoop will see you now.
