For those not in the know, UK Hip Hop is pretty much dead and buried, regardless of what the worldwide scene might or might not be saying. The Uk Scene has just never really got it's shit together.

Bashy - The Never Ending Story zzzzz

For anyone living in a hobbit hole for the past year - Bashy's track Black boys is starting to piss me off, I have had a dozen or so emails this week alone to my day job's inbox. To make matters worse peeps are not bcc'ing so every mug and his mother that was on the list (what does that make me?) has now added me to their wacemailout - USE THE FUCKING BCC U DICK HEADS!

Anyway, we liked the original, really liked it, repped it, pushed it and played it but then the Bashy squad got excited and it all got a bit annoying.. think mozzie's on holiday, a dose of syphilis or Jeremy Beadle (R.I.P) as your cell mate.

If it wasn't enough that for the past 6 months Bashy Brigade has bombarded us with 'Black Boy' video after 'Black Boy' video, an avalanche of shit version tracks, cynical guest appearances, propaganda, manufactured rumours and a mountain of other yawnworthy content. They have now decided that we be subjected to a DVD containing ... you guessed it: The same tracks, videos and outtakes that we have endured, day after day for so long.

They have even found the time to include interviews with every has-been rapper, Z list radio DJ, witless junior A&R and unknown 'Urban Celeb', the tea lady, dustman and local bus driver, no sorry that's Bashy, on the DVD.

Thanks Bash, no really, thanks, Can't wait 4 that.

Black Boys the DVD is out now, please go buy a million so he can move the fuck on..

Atlantic repping UK Hip Hop??

Rumour has it that Wiley (single deal) And Dj Ironik have been signed to Atlantic.

A good thing for UK Grime / Hip Hop??

Who knows, If their (mis)treatment of Saigon to date is anything to go by then it's all likely to go pear shaped.

Rumour has it that 679 Recordings has closed with it's artists moving across to other Atlantic/Warner subsidiaries.

That is with the exception of Kano, several rumours flying about that he was a) dropped, b) held out for a direct deal with Atlantic/Warner n then didnt get one (more fool him) and c) Was offered a 360 deal which he turned down. Either way the last album was pants by his standards and so it's no surprise that he is now a free agent.

Anyway, here's here's the Wiley track that has allegedly been signed:
