JME – Over Me [Video].

modi — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:03:27 +0000

I have a lot of family in the UK, so when I was younger, I was put on to the garage / grime movement. I started with So Solid Crew and Oxide & Neutrino, and now I’m all about that Boy Better Know camp. My favorite grime artist, JME, dropped this joint from his upcoming album Digital Dropout. I think it’s incredible. Wordplay is crazy, and it’s just different. I mean, who else drops 8 different short verses? I’m all about it. The video dropped in mid-August, and I’ve just seen it for the first time today. Expect to see more grime up here regularly, and if you need more grime, e-mail me and I’ll get you hip. If you don’t know what he’s saying (the accent can do that to you sometimes. Get cultured though. I’m just playing. Sheesh.), hit the “continue reading”; I got those lyrics for you so you can follow and see why it’s clever.

OVER MEEEEEEE

Over me? There’s not 1 OVER

Dizzee Rascal – Holiday [feat. Chrome].

dizzee rascal has done a great job of staying relevant over here in the states, as well as in his hometown of london. he’s a fusion of garage (a UK genre, based on fast-tempo electronica / dance jams), grime (another UK genre, like hip hop but “grimier”; i’ve featured a few grime joints on here back in the day), and hip hop, and this track definitely showcases his diversity as an artist.

it’s definitely a club track, a lot more upbeat and melodic than the back-in-the-day dizzee. i’m a big fan of rapping over electronica-based beats, so this joint does it for me. and he’s learned to slow down so we can understand his london boy twang, cuz back in the day i wasn’t really sure what he was saying sometimes. shout out to P&P for putting me on. featuring R&B singer chrome.

Theophilus London – Head, Shoulders, Knees, Toes [Theophilus Remix].

wale went in on it and killed it (get that version here), but he only flowed for like a minute. theophilus london decided to go for 4 straight, and he also murders the track. they might as well make a US remix for this british track, because americans are jumping on it and owning the beat. if you had wale and theo on the first two verses, who would you wanna see on the last? maybe we can make it happen.

if theophilus impressed you, go get his new “this charming mixtape” from my girl heather. it’s critically acclaimed and internet goons across the globe are praising it heavily.
