Liking the new Homerton. I don't think there's any D Double tunes in that set, it's him (and his pals) MCing over a bunch of beats. In grime radio sets and live shows you'll have the DJ playing the riddims and the MCs will spit over them. It won't be like a rap show where you perform the track live.
These are my favourite D Double solo tunes:

Headie One's done an interview in the Guardian. They've done a few features on drill but not much. As far as I know the most exciting thing to happen in UK music in years is being completely ignored by the rest of the media apart from outlets that specialise in urban music.

That Pa Salieu tune hasn't been posted so thanks for sharing, it's a good one. He's making a name for himself in the scene. Loving his Afro-style approach to drill. The Vybz Kartel one is good too. He's got a great voice for it.

Pa Salieu - My Family feat BackRoad Gee - Here's another new Pa Salieu. Backroad Gee seems to be becoming the Tempa T of drill, ie he's not the best MC technically or lyrically but he shouts a lot and gets everyone gassed up. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
