UK Hip Hop .. who's listening?

[TRshady]

Who here listens to UK Hip Hop / Grime and what artists you into?
Seems it's only UK heads who are into the scene but I'm interested how many of you listen to artists who aren't American.

I'm feeling Sway and Kano more then anyone right now but enjoying a range of artists from Plab B to Roll Deep, not the only UK hip hop listener here am I?

[Mr. Cookie]

does it count if I listen to g_killa? lol...only heard one vers of him..(on the song Fake) post some more songs Killa..lol..

[TRshady]

lol I guess so, if you have the time check out http://www.ka-no.com and http://www.swaydasafo.com, UK urban music hasn't been so strong since the So Solid Crew days and now is a better time to get into the quality music being produced over here.

[TRshady]

Gkilla, what you up to in your area?
Performed live, collaborated with local talents etc and you plan on making it big or doing this for the fun of it?
I'm still yet to hear any of your music, but will do when I can, seems yousendit.com is the only file sending site that works for me.

[Mr. Cookie]

no problem Killa...and Tr..I now looked at the first site you gave me http://www.ka-no.com..and music appeared once I clicked the site..and some of the music I heard, is nice...I'll check the other one later..

[Mr. Cookie]

look Killa..I ain't gonna laugh...and your verse on Fake...it's really cool..I don't say that just to be nice, belive me...I don't listen to shit that's fake...and your verse on that song ain't fake...

[TRshady]

Gkilla, post one of ya tracks here using yousendit.com if ya can and I'll check it out. Next time your making a mixtape, how does a collaboration with me sound?
I'm uploading a Kano track now for ya Mr Nation, on the Watcher part 2 beat but you should enjoy it.

[Mr. Cookie]

I look forward to it...thanks TR...I may be requestin' some songs from the site I was on..you got any of those?

[TRshady]

I couldn't call myself british if I didn't have Kano's album, where they all appear. I'm guessing you'll want Home Sweet Home, P's and Q's and I'll be happy to provide, only if you promise me you'll purchase the album at the first opportunity.

Here's a track for ya:

Kano - Watcher

People need to give UK Urban music a chance, get past the accent and be open minded, many are missing out on quality music.

[Mr. Cookie]

aiight, propz Tr..I'll buy it if I like some songs..and if the music store here got the cd...

[TRshady]

I'll upload a few more tracks here, to show the different sides of Kano. He's arguably UK's best overall, then artists better lyrics, others have more energy etc but as an all-rounder .. if I was to introduce anyone to UK music it would have to be him.

Am uploading one of his singles now, will have it posted in a few minutes.

lol, don't worry about the Chelsea game .. you gotta admit Ronaldinho could run circles around most teams by himself. As for Audio, I don't do it myself, but have friends that use my bedroom as a poor mans studio so could get something together .. I've written songs for people so could call myself a writer, would be fun working with ya even if the track doesn't make a mixtape.

ooo...what a cute avatar....its u???

[Mr. Cookie]

I liked the track you uploaded...The Watcher beat...nice...well..gotta go now..I'm off..

[TRshady]

What soundcard you working with, should post a picture of my pc set up, got meself a creative 24-bit external soundcard and logitech 5.1 surround sound speakers so whatever happens the track will sound crisp down my end.

Hurry up and get over the Chelsea loss, when times are hard just remember you're a member of the TRshady forum and the pain should go in an instant. Wanna hear a track of yours, see what kind of production you use, ya voice and style etc ..

[TRshady]

Rapping is like everything else, you get better with time .. so the more experience you get the better, three months down the line you'll look back at your first recording and laugh .. only problem is as of yet I have nothing to laugh at .. but what the hell.

If any team, I support Liverpool but never been into football, untill it hits a world cup season and it's supporting england 24/7. =D This year looks bleak for us though.

Here's another Kano track:

Kano - P's and Q's

Second verse is hot, give the track a chance and lett me know what you think of it.
( not talking to you here G_killa, I trust you already have it =D )
