Wiley - 'Numbers in Action' EP Release, Free Dobie Remix & "100% Publishing" Pre-order
Saturday, 28 May 2011
May the return to Big Dad be the grand saviour of Wiley's career? Will it bring the perfect balance between grime and commercial success? It might be, cause "100% Publishing" looks well promising on paper, light years better than "Playtime's Over" that made him and BD part ways after the album was released in 2007.
The release date of "100% Publishing" has been pending from the 27th of June 'til the 4th of July but the final date is now set to the 20th of June (pre-order the album off iTunes or Amazon). I'm still hoping to get blown away "Treddin' on Thin Ice"-style and "100% Publishing" is written, produced and mastered in its entirety by the man himself, no Bless Beats or any other electro fuckery around to ruin it (HOPEFULLY).
And I must say, I like the first single that dropped last month, 'Numbers in Action'. Yes, we all know that Dizzee did the 1337-speak thing on his "Maths + English" from 2007 but it doesn't matter when the end result is this good. The single EP of 'Numbers in Action' drops on Monday (pre-order iTunes & Amazon) with remixes from Sticky, Toddska (Toodla+Roska), ZDot and the latest signing to the Big Dada-family: Dobie.
Grab Dobie's remix free below courtesy of BD.

Vybz Kartel Issues a Public Statement
Due to the past weeks controversy regarding Vybz Kartel, skin bleaching and the whole cake soap-gate, he now issues a public statement (which is quite long) read it in full below:
"Many of you have heard or seen the recent accusations made by my former associates in the past few weeks. I don’t know why all of these individuals, think the most appropriate action to take after a philosophical difference occurs is to go to the press and attack me.
I can only say that I am reminded of Bob Marley’s admonishments when he said man is so unjust, you don’t know who to trust…your best friend can turn out to be your worst enemy…I shall say no more, other than who the cap fit, mek them wear it. I am issuing this statement because I think these accusations are due to a breach of confidentiality as certain individuals got wind of my upcoming projects and initiatives and they know they can’t stop me without resorting to underhanded tactics.

Nicki Minaj - 'Did It On 'Em' Official Video
Nicki Minaj recently wrapped up the "I am Still Music"-tour with the Young Money-crew, will soon head out with Britney Spears for the "Femme Fatale"-tour and earlier this week she told US Magazine that next year, 2012 she'll be finally headlining her own "Pink Friday"-tour. I'm crossing my fingers and toes hoping it will grace other parts of the world as well and not just the United States.
Speaking of the "I am Still Music"-tour for that matter, here goes the internet version of the official video for one of the best tracks off "Pink Friday", the Bangladesh-produced 'Did It On 'Em', "directed" by DJ Scoob Doo. Uhm, yeah, you'll understand when you see it:

Beyoncé - "4" Tracklist, New Single '1+1' & American Idol Performances
The wait is over, here's finally the official and confirmed tracklist for Beyoncé's 4th album "4" as well as the new single '1+1' that she premiered a moment ago on American Idol.
'1+1' (that you can purchase here) is definitely NOT my cup of tea (you get why when you listen to it below) but anyway, still looking forward to "4" dropping in less then a month quite a lot. Peep the tracklist, American Idol performance and the new single below:
Nicki Minaj ft. Swizz Beatz - 'Catch Me' (Mastered)

Nicki Minaj's and Swizzy's 'Catch Me' was featured as a bonus track on the Best Copy-version of Minaj's debut album "Pink Friday" that dropped late last year.

Beyoncé - 'Run the World (Girls)' Live on Oprah's Last Show
Tuesday, 24 May 2011
It's the end of an era... Yes, yesterday the first part of the very last episode ever of Oprah's show aired and yesterday Beyoncé graced the show with a performance of 'Run the World (Girls)' the very first telecast performance of the song (since it was taped before the Billboard Music Awards held Sunday's). Seriously, the intros of both performances made me so fucking warm from the inside.
Beyoncé _is_ the mainstream equivalent to Kathleen Hanna for the 21nd Century. All hail Beyoncé:
Billboard Music Awards Performances by Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna & Britney Spears
Monday, 23 May 2011
Last night (while I was long gone sleeping) it's was time for the annual Billboard Music Award show on ABC. Beyoncé was honoured with the "Millennium Award" award and over all it was ladies night for sure when Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears and Ke$ha owned the show.
Peep all great performances below like Beyoncé performing 'Run the World (Girls)', Nicki Minaj teamed up with Britney for the 'Til the World Ends' remix, RihRih also teamed up with Britney for the remix of 'S&M':
Mash Up International ft. Gnucci Banana - 'Animal' Official Single Release
Yes, the 23rd of May 2011, today might be all about Lady GaGa and the release of "Born this Way"... However, I'm not that stoked to be honest, even turned down the secret listening party I was invited to Friday's, I dunno, but "Born this Way" doesn't excite me, at all. What this thing about no features? But well, the album will contain a couple of hits, I'm sure about it but today brings even greater things to the table.
Like this for example, the official single release of Mash Up International's and Gnucci Bananana's tropical anthem 'Animal'.
Released via At Bay Music/Sony and cop over at iTunes, Amazon and listen via Spotify
Beyoncé - 'Till the End of Time', "4" Album Cover & Release Date
Saturday, 21 May 2011
How ironic that the stream of Beyoncé's (most likely) second single from "4", 'Til the End of Time' leaked online today, the doomsday? However, we're not into post-apocalyptic state so it's time that the world stop listen to deranged old men like Harold Camping once and for all.
Here's also the official cover of "4" which now has a definitive release date the 24th of June (in UK the 27th and the US the 28th, pre-order here), stunning photo of Bey on the album cover but whoever edited it, well, even white skinned me is darker than that, photoshop got your brain?
But I must say, I really really like 'Til the End of Time', even if 'Run the World (Girls)' was a hard cookie to melt at first listen this is whole another deal with Diplo on the production.
Listen below and yes, it's all tagged up for now:
Amplify Dot ft. Kano - 'Semantics' Official Video & Single Release
Amplify Dot's verse on 'Game Over Female Takeover' still echoes in my mind quite often and you can be sure you'll see much more of this lady in the near future. Earlier this week she was in the studio with Ski Beats (who produced tracks for Jay Z's "Reasonable Doubt"), laid a verse on a new feature with Little Dee and after her 'Born Ready'-single that dropped around a month ago here goes the follow up called 'Semantics'.
'Semantics' features Kano and will drop next month, but until then here goes the official video directed by Schoque:
Katy B - 'Easy Please Me' Official Video & Single Release
Next to the three previous singles and the astonishing 'Witches Brew', The Magnetic Man-produced 'Easy Please Me' is easily my absolute favourite tune from Katy B's debut album "On a Mission".
'Easy Please Me' also serves as the fourth single to be released the 6th of June with remixes by Caspa, Claude VonStroke & Royal-T (pre-order here) and here's also the official video where Thelma & Louise meets Lock Stock in a South London Pool Hall:
Al Azif ft. Gnucci Banana & Crossfire - 'Sick In Head' Official Video & Single Release
Thursday, 19 May 2011
You probably know Swedish producer and DJ Al Azif from his remix of Adam Tensta's 'My Cool' a few years back or when he and Crossfire had a huge hit with 'Lady' in 2008. Earlier this spring he released a free single called 'Lookin' together with Million Stylez (download below) but it's now time for his first own single to see the light of day.
The track is called 'Sick In Head' which is a straight up club banger, destined to be a summer smash hit and features Gnucci Banana and Crossfire, make sure you cop it when it drops via Sony the 23rd of May.
Until then, enjoy the official video:
Swindle - 'Moodswings' Official Video
Swindle dropped his "Moodswings" over at Butterz earlier this here (buy here) but now comes the official video done by Mr. Tit (Karimo & BDID), and yes, this is so well done.

Beyoncé - 'Run the World (Girls)' Official Video
After all the teasers and delays it's finally here, the official video for Beyoncé's 'Run the World (Girls)', the first single taken off BeyBey's upcoming album "4" which is slated to drop later this summer. Seriously, I love the way B sort of fills the shoes of Kathleen Hanna for the mainstream audience, agitating for Girls like this.
The stunning video, jam packed with revolutionary symbols is directed by Francis Lawrence:
Tinie Tempah Live On Letterman Full Concert
With Tinie Tempah's "Disc-Overy" finally dropped in the States (cop it here) Tinie took the stage over at CBS's studios and David Letterman last night for a performance of his 'Written in the Stars'. CBS also webcasted his full concert at the Ed Sullivan Theater that was held Tuesday's as part of the "Live On Letterman" concert series.

Kreayshawn - 'Gucci Gucci' Official Video
Wednesday, 18 May 2011
If you're not already familiar with the lady called Kreaysahwn, well, get ready. This bad bitch from Northern California. Young East Oakland has much on her plate: director, cinematographer, editor, DJ, pixel artist, rapper... But yes, let's focus on the last one.
Kreayshawn was born into a musical household. Her mother was in a girl punk-surf fusion band called The Trash Women and they toured all over Europe & Japan and Kreayshawn followed. When she was 5 she had wrote and performed her own song 'Boys are Toys' with them. Four years later, when she was around 9 years old she had a step dad who was a rapper/DJ. That was when all hell broke loose according to Kreayshawn herself.
That was then, now is now and here's the first offer from her upcoming debut LP, a lovely cut produced by DJ Two Stacks called 'Gucci Gucci':

The video is shot and edited by Johannes Schaff:
Tinie Tempah - "Foreign Object" Mixtape
Sunday, 15 May 2011
After the huge 'Til I'm Gone' featuring Wiz Khalifa, Tinie Tempah takes the chance to gas his American audience up some more before the re-release of "Disc-Overy" hits the American market in 2 days. And what better way to do it other than a free mixtape stuffed with goodies?
The DJ Whoo Kid/Russell Brand-hosted "Foreign Object" Mixtape consist of 16 tracks, which have great lines like "I like my women nice and thick with no knickers on 'em" from when he goes over Nicki Minaj's 'Did it on Em' and features Lil Wayne, mr.

'Do' is the third single to be dropping off "Professional Dreamers" and even if Looptroop Rockers have been known for their highly controversial videos in the past this one shot in London, has more of a street art/party-vibe to it:
Calvin Harris ft. Kelis - 'Bounce' Official Video & Dub Pilot Remix
Beyoncé cancelled the world premiere of her 'Run the World (Girls)'-video at the last minute but there's no need for tears, here's another great one instead. To be perfectly honest, Calvin Harris hasn't exactly done it for me the last couple of years but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this new single called 'Bounce' featuring Kelis.
The video is a collaboration between Vincent Haycock and AG Rojas have a peep and grab the lovely dubsteppy remix by Dub Pilot below:
Lil Wayne ft. Rick Ross - 'John (If I Die Today)' Official Video

The video features Rick Ross and Birdman and was directed by Colin Tilley:
DJ Webstar ft. Nicki Minaj - 'Bought the Bar' (prod. by Ricky Blaze)
Thursday, 12 May 2011
Wowza! Haha might be the first time I've ever used that word, however, Nicki Minaj's verse of this brand new track from DJ Webstar leaked last spring and ever since then I've been longing for the full single and whoop, here it is. Nice to see them old features pop up here and there since Nicki now put them at rest for a long time ahead. Ricky Blaze on the production steez.
And speaking of Ricky, he has a new single out on his own, the Stargate-produced 'Love Right Now' and will drop his long awaited "My Name is Ricky Blaze" on Atlantic the 24 of May.

Lil Wayne - "Tha Carter IV" Official Album Teaser
Wednesday, 11 May 2011
Here's a little teaser for Lil Wayne's upcoming album "Tha Carter IV", now scheduled to drop the 21st of June. But from previous Weezy releases, my guess is that the date is tentative (just as the tracklist I published earlier), wouldn't be surprised if the album gets pushed back both one and two times before it hit the shelves.
That said, watch the official teaser below:
Lovelle ft. Lady Chann - 'Uh Oh' Official Video & Single Release
Tuesday, 10 May 2011

Sneakbo ft. OG Niki - 'Freak' Official Video & Single Release
The hype of 17 year old MC OG Niki from Birmingham has been spreading like wildfire on the interwebz since her Spit Your Game-freestyle emerged last month. And, as always when young ladies do stuff, she's been called a disgrace to rap among other things but as you all know, talented females have a way to travel the highway straight to my heart and Niki is no exception.
Listen to her's and Sneakbo's brand new single 'Freak' that drops officially on iTunes today (buy here) below and here's also the official video, directed by Vertex:
Tyler the Creator Interview with PSL
If you happened to catch my little outburst on Twitter last night, well, it doesn't concern Per Sinding Larsen as he's one of very few Swedish male music journalists that I still got respect for. The last couple of weeks PSL's been putting up this interview series he did with Tyler the Creator (who today drops his second studio album "Goblin", look out for my review that will drop later tonight or tomorrow) at this year's edition of SXSW.
Peep the really great interview where Tyler speaks about his forthcoming third album "Wolf", heroes like Sid Vicious, how he grew up, Odd Future the paper, the rest of the OFWGKTA-gang and much much more, in full below:
The Very Best - "Super Mom" Mixtape
Sunday, 8 May 2011
At first my heart stopped when I saw this, like did I really forget Mother's Day? Really?! Then after some sweaty seconds of research I realized that it's not Mother's Day over here in Sweden until like 3 weeks, the 29th of May. But it is in the States and the UK and here's The Very Best's celebrational gift, this year Mother's Day becomes SUPER MOM day with the "Super Mom"-mixtape.

Nicki Minaj - 'Super Bass' Official Video
Friday, 6 May 2011
It was supposed to drop months ago and after the highly frequent tweets with the question "where is it?" from her impatient fans Nicki Minaj lashed out, big time on Twitter, and since then she has made us all wait a real hot minute for the official 'Super Bass'-video featuring Ester Dean.
But, the wait is now over as she just finally landed the Sanaa Hamri-directed visuals via BET's 106 & Park & VEVO.

Sway - 'Big Bad Wolf' (prod. by Rednek)
Mr. Sway da Safo hasn't exactly been prioritised on this site the past five or six years. Besides the 'F UR X' he did with Stush I think I did a mercy post about that certain car track he did some years ago but other than that I've put him on mute. Why? Well, sucky releases, sucky attitude and a sucky live show but this new track called 'Big Bad Wolf' actually made him earn some of my respect back again.
'Big Bad Wolf' is real good actually, mostly thanks to the raw, dark and mental production signed Rednek. Please, at least try to keep this momentum Sway. Try to get good productions like this, be real and funny and not some embarrassing clone from the Konvict-family.
That said, look out for Sway's upcoming release "The Deliverance" which will drop later this year and grab 'Big Bad Wolf' below:
Tyler the Creator Debuts 'Analog' off "Goblin" ft. Hodgy Beats
I know, I know, the Odd Future bandwagon is a fact but despite some facepalm-interview answers and lyric bits just how irresistible isn't Tyler the Creator? Just look at him? He touches the same nerve centre in my brain that is only slated for cute kittens and stuff, so I'm glad that the Hultsfred Festival actually managed to rise from the dead and pull off at least one good, interesting booking this year with OFWGKTA.
With Tyler's second studio album "Goblin" finally set to hit stores next Tuesday (May 10th) via XL Recordings (pre-order off iTunes here), he debuts a new track off the album called 'Analog' ft. Hodgy Beats during BBC Radio 1 Live Session. And speaking of the Odd Future in London and live shows for that matter, if you missed their insane show on May 1st at the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage at Camden Crawl, have a look after the jump, hopefully their set at Hultsfred will be live like that:
Nicki Minaj - 'Moment 4 Life' Live on Dancing with the Stars
Yesterday David Guetta's Nicki Minaj assisted single 'Where Them Girls At?' finally dropped on iTunes and it's already #1 in several European countries (buy here).
