Jodie Connor feat. R.I.O & Wiley

Jodie Connor released her debut single 'Now or Never' last week and its looking like she's defo got a top 20 hit under her belt. Let's hope its a top 10!!! This is the R.I.O remix featuring R.I.O and Wiley produced by super producer David Dawood. Make sure you go and buy the single off iTunes or any other decent digital site.

Lil Wayne - Carter IV

Lil Wayne gears up for his first official studio album since his release from Rikers Island prison. The Carter IV will be his long awaited follow up to the 3 time platinum selling Carter 3 album, which went on to be the biggest selling album the year of its release. He's apparently been in the studio with Kayne West and T-Pain and has included some tracks he recorded before he was sent down, that are too good to ignore apparently. Apart from these tracks the whole album is new. We're in for a treat! They are hoping for a March/April release. Should be exciting.

Drake joining Manchester United?



Last week we were lucky enough to catch two of the most exciting guys in Hip Hop and I think future of the genre; J.Cole and Drake.

On the Tuesday night we saw Drake's show at the Apollo with J.Cole supporting and Drake told us of his friends' dream to join Manchester United. On the Wednesday night we caught J.Coles show at the Academy. Little did we know they had a surprise for us. Drake ran out and the crowd went mad!

I managed to speak to J.Coles manangement team backstage and caught Drake and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand chatting.

R.I.O feat. Ghetts and Shifty - WE LOVE GRIME

Taken off the Bottom To The Top mixtape We Love Grime is a link up between Manchester all stars R.I.O and Shifty and London veteran Ghetts with Z Dot on the buttons. Already smashed by Logan Sama, Semtex, Ace n Vis and Cameo as well as playlisted on Unity FM this track is proof Grime is still well loved by the masses.

Wiz Khalifa - Black and Yellow

I know this aint new. But this is the song right now. This came on in Club XS in Vegas on Monday night and the whole place erupted. Defo one for the ipod playlist!
