This is a music review by my girl Sabs.


She is an aspiring Music Publicist and more importantly... a consumer of UK music. 


Read her thoughts on the hottest albums on the block at the moment - What better insight could you get, than from a consumer... to a consumer, get me! LOL



Think I might make this a new section... hmm... yes. yes, i think i will!



ANY feedback is well appreciated. Thanks people.

Right people here goes my first post on my blog… and its all about music today…

I am advising you all to go to HMV and purchase these three must have amazing albums NOW!!!


Bashy – Catch Me If You Can


This album is what I call versatile and has a lot of different sounds and mixes of music genre’s. It is definitely not a typical rap/mc album and I would NOT class it under the genre of grime.


If your into deep meaningful lyrics with a twist of hype and fun, then this is an album for you.


15 tracks and 2 additional bonus tracks including new release ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’, ‘Kidulthood 2 Adulthood’, and the famous classic ‘Black Boys’.


Also featured on the album is the amazing track Ransom which has a mini film produced (see below)





Donaeo – Party Hard


All I can say if you like to ‘Party Hard’ then this is definitely an album for you. Classified in HMV under the genre of ‘Dance’, which I do have to say (when I first pumped the album) I completely agreed.


As always, Donaeo has continued to share his raw talent with us through the music he both writes and produces, and has compiled an amazingly unique album that is a 'must have' for your music collection. A mix between RnB, Funky House, and Broken Beatz this album consists of 13 tracks with favorites such as ‘Devil in a Blue Dress’, ‘I’, ‘Party Hard’ and yes, oh yes … ‘African Warrior’ !!!


Check out the official music video for Devil in a Blue Dress … enjoy.




and finally...


Skepta – Microphone Champion


The MD of ‘Boy Better Know’ (BBK, if you didn't know) has done it again.


Album no 2 and it is amazing!!! If your into your UK Rap/Grime then believe you will love this.


I was actually surprised when I first listened to this album, because it was actually better than I had expected, not that I expected anything bad but I just never considered myself to me a big fan of "grime" to be honest.


BUT… the album is fresh faced, meaningful, fun and hype which is a good combination to have to draw your listeners in.


Most of the tracks on the album are telling stories that most people can relate to.


The race starts with a simple but straight to the point track named ‘Reflecting’ whereby Skepta tells us how it is and what he is about… basically reflecting his movements and how he feels (best start to an album ever) no chorus, no corny melodies, just straight talking lyrics. Well done skeps!


The album features collaborations with Giggs (Talking the Hardest), Jay Sean, Tinchy Stryder 

and the rest of the BBK family.


18 tracks on the album including ‘Rolex Sweep’, ‘Sunglasses At Night’ and the well known club anthem ‘Too Many Men’!!!


Listen out for track no.11 'Disguise', which is a sample of the famous Transformers cartoon soundtrack but instead of it being about robots its about Transvestites lol lol lol … go buy the album NOW !!!


Oh, look... another video for you! BBK ‘Too Many Men’.
