BEYONCE BRAND NEW VIDEO...

This is the new video and single from the queen of RnB. Seriously, this beat is totally stonking, lie? I know you're gonna go a little frazzled when she does her little sexy Krumping in that short black dress, major! What don't I like? Nothing..

Written and produced by Beyonce, with a little help from her friends James Scheffer, Wayne Wilkins and my man Rico Love (what a name to be born with!). If you don't know who any of these people are, don't worry, they make enough money not to care about fame.

* Seriously I cannot get enough of this single, somebody please help!!

BASS IN THE BEDROOM

As you may already be aware a lot of the new top producers both in the UK and around the world are actually coming out of their bedroom studio's with some of the most ground breaking and future sounds imaginable. Just 10 years ago this would have been impossible, but with the advance's in technology and software, these guys are taking advantage of the new digital age and going where no 808 has gone before.

Bless Beats produced the hit Wearing My Rolex for Wiley from his basic bedroom studio.

In Bedroom Beats 1Xtra's Twin B visits his home studio to find out how.

We also hear from students in Manchester who're learning how to make beats and a host of bedroom producers including Floating Points, Mala, Toddla T, Bullion, Goldielocks, Eric Lau, Paul White, DJ IQ and Plastician, to find out how and why they've given up their beds to make beats.

BEFORE I DIE I WANT THIS TO BE THE LAST THING I HEAR

RAUL MIDON

Tonight at the Jazz Cafe in Camden see's the incredible talent of Raul Midon grace our shore's with his amazing talent. The blind guitarist (who also plays various other instruments including the drums) has stolen the show over seas and tonight we get to see what all the fuss is about.

Playing a mixture of Jazz and soul infused funk with latin vibes, Raul Midon (New-Mexico born, New York Based) has turned into a breath of fresh air for acoustic music lovers around the world.

"I like to celebrate the possible, the highest, the best of possibilities for human beings," says Midon

I've got my ticket and jacket pressed, see you there.

THE BEST TUNE YOU WILL HEAR THIS YEAR THUS FAR

I can't believe how sick this tune is. I lost the plot!

Diplo and Switch are the sick producer/ DJ's who got together for M.I.A's 'Paper Planes'.

With their new monica Major Lazer, they took the biscuit ( I have no idea if thats how biscuit is spelt. Do you even think that word has even featured in a book of any kind? Apart from the Nestle family cook book).

Some of you may remember their set on the BBC1 Annie Mac show. I still can't get over it to be honest.

If your local DJ is not playing 'Hold The Line' right now give me a buzz and I'll come sort him out for ya! BRAP...

P.s Ft Mr Lex and Santigold

* Note, this is the actual video and not some cheap 'here's one I made earlier' youflop.

* Remember where you heard this first. If not I will have to call you out on your FaceBook or blog post date's, watch yourself!

I HATE ADDICTIVE RNB SINGLES MADE FOR 13 YEAR OLD GIRLS THAT END UP IN THE TOP TEN, WHICH IS A SHOCK BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS A COPY

This is one such example. Remember Mishon because in about six months, him and Mario are going to be doing some serious music video battling. Oh, and FYI, Chris Brown lost in the semi finals.

LMFAO

You've heard of LMFAO, David Rush, Pitbul and Kevin Rudolf right? well here's what happened after they all bumped into each other randomly at Nando's.

SEAN PAUL - BRAND NEW 'SO FINE'

The annoying thing about Sean Paul is that I dont remember him ever making a rubbish track, not once. Thats annoying because it means he's on heavy rotation, all the time.

Now I've gone and made things worse.

The new single 'So Fine' is a very good look for summer clubbing if you know how you use what your momma gave ya.

D.O.A

So the music video is finally here.

Enjoy!

I'M A SUPRA STAR

These days its hard getting that sick pair of high tops that not only look great but feel... hold on, thats all it needs to do.

Romeo dun.

Check more loveliness from Supra.

* Females - Wet look leggings, an Era cap and any one of these and you're good!

LAST NIGHT A DJ INVITED ME IN FOR TEA AND CRUMPETS

These are the amazing new coffee table and side table furnishings from Bug House. How much do you think I would get for one kidney on the Black market?

The two coffee tables with the turn table and mixer image transferred onto it are so retro and imaginative you'd be a fool not to consider spending some hard earned cash on it. Even if your not a DJ or own a studio (you're going to see these in every one) they would sit perfectly in a stylish home (city boys, don't jack what was made for us, wasteman!). The wood grain seeping into the transfer is also a very nice touch to the finish.

You can't also help but love the side table made to look like a stack of vinyls. If like me you grew up collecting and you have a girlfriend who wouldn't mind you having one, get it before she decides it doesn't match the new bookshelf from Ikea and changes her mind.

AMERWHO?

I have a like and hate with this one. Firstly the lyrics. They are crap, no hate, they just are. Listen. I mean really listen, then actually write them out and then realise who much of a waste of your time that was. Now consider someone handing them in to a record company and then getting paid thousands of pounds for that work. Now try and see if you will actually want to legally download it.

Didn't think so.

The beat is actually quite nice, very samey in terms of the things she has put out before, but it's still got rotation potential.

And lastly, is it me or does Amerie only sing in one key?

* The culture of illegal downloads is not supported by Make Me Music. It's stealing. That said, if a tune is not worth it you can always watch for free online or wait for radio to play it over and over and over and over, till your head caved in and you threw your speakers out the window.

I FINK I SHMELL A COPICAT!

Now then, I know what you're gonna say. Has she been listening to too much M.I.A???

Yes.

Shame.

Because you have to get over that fact before you then say, hmm, aint so bad actually. And that takes about six hours.

And just so you know, I'm not feeling Wale too tuff. You rep yourself way too much mate. If Wiley don't get away with it, then you don't, period! I really don't care about your money, I got my own problems in life. Just give me a beat I can bounce to and some clever bars to impress, not weak rhymes about your glory. Waste!!

IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE

New single and video from one of UK's finest, Wretch 32.

Wretch has been a very busy boy of late. New album, new single and a new clothing line. Ok, maybe the clothing side isn't the most original and outstanding stuff compared with some of the other underground 'nitch' brands such as 'Trapstar' and 'Dope Chef Currency', but everyone has to start somewhere right?

Anyways, this is his new single. It's not like I'm getting paid to post it up, I just like it! Simple's

V.O.T.D

Don't lie to me, you didn't know who he was till Gnarls Barkely came out ( or Danger Mouse before 'The Grey Album'), you've never heard of Goodie Mob have you?

The ever afrocentric Cee-Lo Green.

And why is this my video of the day? Because I woke up to it and screamed it down the phone to the first five people who called at stupid o'clock.

MIXED RACE RELATIONS

I saw this today and she's so right, who care's. I know we can debate for hours, and everyone has an opinion on it, but simple truth is, we're all human therefore we're all family.

Colour in music should be about as irrelevant as shoe size. We all know it isn't, but it should be. I for one am glad that not all the best hip hop producers/ artists are black. The same goes for all things funky.

Open your mind and your heart will follow.

J2'O'K

Some of you may remember Roll Deep. I know, its been a while, they been around still, but you might have had to either look under some very heavy rocks or travel to one of those gigs your mates wont go to because Damian's car is on the blink and they aint doing the coach ting again till Ayia Nappa.

I have to be honest J2K wasn't really given the space to shine in the past. Blame certain 'ahem' producers (no hate). But now he's back with a very very nice video and a track with bars to match. The thing I like about J2K now is the fact that he's grown nicely (artistically... plonker) and his flow has improved. I mean, people don't know how hard it is to come from a Garage and Grime background and sound unique. It's hard trusss. Many Mc's have tried and failed to cross over into the mainstream, well 'underground main' as I like to call it. The track still has bounce and gulliness and I think it might just do ok after Ras Kwame has given it the four times over.

Don't sleep on this brea. He's not my boy, I don't know him from Adam, so your guaranteed its all impartial over this fence.

* Realease date for 'Wake Up' Ep is July 13th

Also check out Ben Peters, music video director. Very naughty stuff! If you're an artist looking to get that bizzle on your next video, pass him the pre tax funds and you'll get sorted...

WHITE CHICKS AND GANG SIGNS

We've all seen the video, some of you even peed you pants, but the message is clear, commit to it and it will look good!

YOU DONT HAVE TO LOOK GOOD TO BE MY DJ

The best thing about David Guetta is that (speaking as a man) you can introduce him to your girl and you wouldn't have to fear about her falling for him instead of you, no matter how good his tunes are. I've been a secret fan of his for a while. I say secret because he wasn't always the king of cool and he was mostly known more overseas than in the UK or the States. And he's French.

He's current new single features Kelly and is already topping the charts. Ok, its been out for a while and I've just been lazy and concentrating on the hip hop and UK scene for too long, sorry.

As well as the new single 'When Love Takes Over' I'm also going put one of my other fav.s 'Tomorrow Can Wait' for you too, because I'm that type of guy.

BEATEN BY A GURL!!

My mate Jo has a blog and its very good. I'm nicking this from her. And the worst thing is I cant think of anything more punchy than her outtro liner...

Nike RT1 High 2009

very nice!

BROTHERLY LOVE

Where were you last night? Where were you when it mattered? Where were you when Little Brother came to town and showed us how to get down?

Jazz Cafe, Camden, sold out, Shay hooked mans up with a runaway ticket cause my boy had his car a little beat up and got stuck in his sticks and couldn't make it. I know I said I wouldn't say nothing on the blog but gosh, its such a sad story I had no choice.

LB came through to London last night to say happy born day to Spin Doctor (who btw was blessing us nicely on the wax). There was a support act on before they came on which I managed to catch the last few tracks from. To be honest they weren't really saying a lot and the fact they didn't know (and asked the crowd) what the capital of Hong Kong [there isn't one, its a part of China now and isn't its own country] or Bangkok [it IS the capital of Thailand] was, was not a good look for black people. A bit like when a white bredrin asked me, 'what's the capital of Africa?', waste! (Btw that actually happened, they'll probably be a bit miffed cause I told em I wouldn't out that story again for kicks, but it had to be done).

LB stormed through their big ones, did the (now obligatory) MJ tribute which turned out to be a lot less cheesy and more genuine then other's I have witnessed over the past few days. I was looking down from upstairs (obviously) and I have to say, for a duo who know they already got the love from the crowd, they do work hard to keep the energy flowing. It was super hot in there, I was sweating out like, and they, well, they did not stop moving and jumping and showing my how unfit I was, cheers. Now when Madlib came to Fabric not long ago, everyone was saying how he was too self-indulgent and it put them off the show. LB on the other hand make it always about the music and are on no 'I'm the big boy' flexes. Nice!

They are off around Europe for a bit and then I think they are back in the State's for some studio sessions and album promotional thingamajigs.

If you managed to get a freebie or a signed album on the night, congrats to you, but watch your back, yeh.

LYRICAL PLAYER PRO'S

I was going to just post my favourite, but then I thought, no chance, so here's the youtube rip of the album you can listen to.

No links needed because you should already know about it... and if you don't, then you should feel very foolish right about now.

Go buy the album, but just don't discuss it with me if you catch me out and about or I'll have to expose your lack of knowledge son!
