Another Christmas themed video this time on a dubstep flavour. Performed by someone I've never heard of but coincidentally, it's produced by someone I blogged last in February 2009. Definitely worth a watch if the thought of seeing a skanking santa doesn't bring back any regrettable memories.

Video: 'A Good Christmas' - US hip hop parody Xmas style.
Finally a hip hop parody that isn't cliched and predictable! 2CentTV have more-or-less accurately mimicked the voice/rap style/image to 15 of the biggest/most well known mainly hip hop stars of the last few years. Despite a few predictable impressions, they've hit the spot here I reckon. I was rofling a few times if that counts for anything.

I see Skepta's been reverting back to his road man content which is a (welcome) change to chatting about girls and champagne which is best left to certain other pop rappers!

Blatantly Blunt is three years old!
Three years ago today I was really bored and decided to jump on the emerging bandwagon that was music blogging. 36 months later and I'm not bored but still loving it so I wanted to take this time out to mark the occasion.
Thanks to all my readers, haters and raters for keeping me motivated to share my love of the music.
Don't forget to check my video channel www.bbluntvision.tk and look out for my third anniversary mixtape compilation #threeyearshighandrising, dropping soon! Oh and follow me on twitter...

Review: Marger - Kushwave EP
Logan Sama declared Marger "is at the forefront of a new wave of young MC's bringing back the authentic underground sound of grime..." Although Kushwave is a strong body of work, there is a little more to do to fully back up the earlier statement.
On "My Thing", we hear Marger's personal progression, from his early days of doing dirt to making changes in his life for him and his daughter. Sibling's hook sits well on the track and breaks up Marger's verses nicely.
"Stress" is littered with angry vocals over a bassy beat which gives an insight into Marger's daily grind. The production reflects the knuckle-head approach to his lyrics and angelic vocal sample lulls you into a false sense of security before the vocals crash through the beat once again.
On "Grime Ting" Marger flows over a rasping, filthy beat, addressing the haters and showcasing everything we love about grime bars. Production takes on a slightly more dubstep stance with thundering riffs and a few vocal samples thrown in for extra effect.
Spitting over a synthy Rude Kid-esque beat, on "Power" he delivers bars about the raw physicality and emotive aspects of sex. Mercston weighs in with a feature, but his "sweet boy" persona doesn't especially add anything to the tune.
On RIP, Badness delivers the hook on a thumping bassy beat. Marger brings more knuckle-headed "bang, bang, shank, shank" bars where he tells us that he's never been rushed. Badness' hook stays on the same grimy theme but is slightly below par for someone of his standard although by the end they definitely don't seem like a team you 'wan fi try test'!!
Kushwave is a good insight into Marger's mind, and begins to elevate him from an MC to 'artist' status, but there is room for improvement before he can justify being on the front line of the new wave. Definitely worth the purchase tho!.

Video: Fumin - Man Down
New one from certified grime MC Fumin', spitting fire over a dirty dubstep track. Shout out to Top Records on the video production!
Video: Fem Fel ft. Lily McKenzie - Runnin'
Video for the new single from Fem Fel, released today on iTunes. 'Runnin's' an insight into Fem's daily trials and tribulations, reminiscing on jail days and commenting on the angel and devil on his shoulders, pulling him their own way.
Top-drawer production from Rymez, who's worked with G-Unit, Def Jam and Wiley to name just three. The drums alone kick the bass in your speakers into overdrive!
The beautiful Lily McKenzie wraps up the tune with a hot chorus, and the video from Jak Frsh, one of the country's top music video directors provides a dynamic representation of what the song's all about.
