GRIME PLAYLIST - 2

It's All Love

Activated

The Murkle Man returns, showing a very different side to his musical character than that displayed on “Party Animal.” Produced by Rapid (best known for his work with Tinchy Stryder) this bass-heavy, grimey, electronic production is the perfect platform for Jammer to strike back at the itty-bitty, wannabe grime stars who spend their time online giving the metaphorical middle finger to anyone more successful than them. That this is achieved with a fair amount of humour and the use of the occasional outlandish put down (“I’m a Lambo/You’re just a Z3”) is testament to a recording artist who keeps on striving to make better music rather than looking for an excuse to – metaphorically or otherwise – shank someone.

  Jahmek Power aka Jammer is one of the true pioneers of the grime scene. A builder of bridges and peacemaker rather than a loose cannon, Jammer is one of the few people in London who can count both Dizzee Rascal and Wiley amongst his friends and who has worked with Jay Sean, Kano, Tinchy, Chipmunk, Boy Better Know and just about everyone else, underground and overground. And if none of them have a bad word to say about him, that’s because, at heart, Jammer believes more in music than he does in ego.

  With a remix to follow from West Coast beat-maker (and part of Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder crew), Lorn, “Better Than…” should be enough to remind people that, contrary to current trends, you don’t have to rap about selling drugs and killing folk to be real. All you have to do is let your character shine through.

Better Than

Jammer - Better Than (Clean)

Lets get rrrrrrready to rrrrrrrumble as we premiere the brand new banger from Jammer. “It’s really not that deep - it’s a party record. I was trying to capture the essence of what our music was about 10 years ago. With a lot of artists from the underground, they get signed and the music becomes structured. I wanted to ignore formula - who says you have to have a chorus?” the Lord of the Mics master says of Royal Rumble, released as part of the Lords of the Mics 7 Live clash at the o2 Academy on 23 September. ”This is lyrics for the rave and getting influential people alongside those people who’ve been putting the work in lately, bringing it to the fore.” Produced by Mystry, recorded at Twenty8Hurtz studio and mixed down at Red Bull Studios in London, the single features much loved legendary MCs like Hyper, Discarda and Bruza going back to back with the likes of Lethal B and the Newham Generals. Pre-order Lord Of The Mics 7 - which boasts exclusives from Giggs, Shorty, Footsie, D Double E, Flowdan and many more - and get Royal Rumble as grat. Pow!

HEAVEN TRIP CRUNK

Ein zum Nachdenken anregender Rap, der gesellschaftliche Spaltungen, politisches Chaos und persönliche Reflexionen im modernen Deutschland kritisiert. Mit einer kühnen Mischung aus Alternative Rap und Folk-Elementen ruft der Song zu einem Wandel hin zu Einheit, Frieden und Selbstermächtigung auf.
