Over the last year it has been great for the UK scene.
So many artists have been signed some of whom I rate very highly!
First of all there's the
Star In The Hood himself
Tinchy Stryder. Now 22 this guy has been working his way up to the top since he was 14. Come from the days of clashing Ears on Lord of the Mics 2 now to hitting the top or the charts with not just one but two number 1 single's
: Number 1 ft Dappy (N-Dubz) And Also Never Leave You ft Amelle Berrabah (SugarBabes). Still early in his mainstream career
Stryder sure has lots left in him and definitely has the potential to be known as one of the greats.
Tinchy Stryder is signed to Island records on the 10/07/08. Buy his album
Catch 22 In all major outlets now.
And then there's the infamous
Chipmunk. 3 mixtapes strong a number 1 chart topping single
(Oopsy Daisy) and a top selling album
Chipmunk has definatly done the UK proud and opened many doors for other underground artists to now come and shine on the mainstream. From first becoming a household name around the UK for his hit track "Who Are You"
(prod. Skeamz) from his 3rd mixtape "
League Of My Own" following up from "
Whatever the Weather Vol.1 & 2"
Chipmunk has come along way to bring him self to the top of Grime scene and the mainstream commercial charts.
His album "I Am Chipmunk" is now released and for sale in all major retail stores. You should definitely go and buy this. C's Up!
Chipmunk signed to Sony on the 11.05.09 www.myspace.com/chipmunkartist www.twitter.com/chipmunkartist
Last but not the least there's Wiley he's been around from the start he's even known as the "The GodFather Of Grime".
This is a name that's not easy to fill but Wiley continues to make hits after hits never failing to give his fans what they need! From mixtapes such as "Tunnel Vision" All the way to his latest album release "See Clear Now" he has truely been a star. With his new single "Take That" Wileyshows everybody the reason why he was signed and the reason why he is known as one of the greats can he get to no.1?
Now also signed to Island Records which is infact the same label responsible for the late, great reggae sensation that is the legendary Bob Marley's music.
Wiley signed on the 23/10/09. www.twitter.com/vneckjumper www.myspace.com/eskiboywiley
