Right we need to put some respect on this name. This is <strong>Chima Anya</strong> – hold on let me correct myself DOCTOR Chima Anya’s return to the fresh faves, and he’s done a LOT. I mean, he’s been on Britain’s Got Talent (Yes, yes I yelled at my tv). I’ve interviewed him in the past …
Well, this is quite a mixture! This combines spoken word, with indie rock sensibilities but then you’ve got a spoken word element too and a little bit of hip hop too. This is a track that has an infectious hook, and it caught my attention immediately, it’s almost like a self help tape wrapped up …
NX Panther is back with a track that combines arpeggiated synths with a rapid fire beat. It sounds epic! With NX Panther’s hard hitting bars, she seems at home with this, enunciating every word, at the same time flowing over a half time beat. Her flow is percussive, hitting the beat flawlessly. In her lyrics …
Hello Jaidson how are you? I’m awesome, thank you… Congratulations on the release of “Smoke Screens” how does it feel?

Bacao Rhythm And Steel Band – Love$ick Straight off the bat I knew this track immediately… I didn’t go to the PR write up I went straight to the track, it’s my go to thing so I don’t get prejudiced by knowing who the artist is. The drums starts off the party and it’s punchy …
This track is just beautiful! Why did I pick it for the throwback track of the day? Well back in 1998 listeners for BBC Radio 1 voted this number 1 in the 100 national anthems. For me this track has got everything, lush strings, scratching, a breakbeat with hypnotic bells in there too. The vocals …
