maihem is 18 years old from east london, shes been doing work with J2K and TNT, has a track with him on his new mixtape and produces a lot of her own beats too. Feature on her, Sov, Fury, RZA, Tor etc...in next months Touch

I have it. I think it's pretty great, but it still can't touch the N.A.S.T.Y. mix.

one month passes...
Nothing more to say on this subject?

I haven't heard it but I desperately want to! I heart Target.

i think it's the best of the mixtape madness that's gone on this year...

martin (martin), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

what's the riddim used for the intro and the donaeo tune - more accordions! instrument of the summer?

nebbesh (nebbesh), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

What's the riddim under the j2k freestyle?

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

i should pull this out again. i was way into it right after i bought it, but totally forgot to listen again.

riddim under the donae'o track is Danny Weed's. He's coming with some mad new beats (all about the Roll Deep album). The J2K track I think has a Young Gunz beat under it

I've been very behind with grime this year, but then the other day I downloaded Showtime, Aim High, Creeper, LOTD vols 1&2, the Shystie LP, some Ruff Sqwad sets and some Terror Danjah. The excitement of Showtime, Terror and Ruff Sqwad blew the rest away at first. but I like, or even love, Aim High more each time I listen to it. People Don't Know, Chosen One, Bring Arms and Watching You are great. It's cool to have grime you can dance to. But it sort of worries me: are Roll Deep settling into a comfortable middle ground between dancehall and hiphop? Sometimes it's not even a middle ground, they just do one or the other. Reynolds was worrying about grime heading into a zone of fruitless 'jerkiness', but where the hell has the jerkiness gone? And the coldness? And the video game sounds? And when did Danny Weed and Target learn how to produce so, um, "well"? Dizzee is trying just as hard as these guys to play to the expectations of the huge audience for urban music, but he's managed to keep his beats grimey, jerky (not funky), and ravey, by incorporating the most grimey jerky ravey kind of hiphop into his sound: crunk. Terror Danjah is doing his own thing, but with not enough others doing it, it's a pretty narrow little thing. Target should listen to more Dizzee and Terror.
