3. Rewd Adams feat. Black The Ripper – Drift Away
My first runner-up for Underground Track of the Month comes from London-based rapper/singer, Rewd Adams. He’s teamed up with north London’s Black The Ripper to create this laid-back number called Drift Away. Although I love the hype tracks, it’s always cool to hear those tunes that you can really zone out to, this one has a real chilled out vibe to it.

2. Tre Mission – Maxin Everything
My second runner-up comes from a guy name Tre Mission. He’s an MC from Canada who is making a lot of noise within the UK grime scene at the moment. Tre partnered with Essex-based producer, Exo Remedy on this potential club banger. It has a bit of a bassline feel to it as well, which is always a hit in my books!

1. TRACK OF THE MONTH: Kozzie, Marger, Merky Ace, Rival, Ego & Scrufizzer - Spartan Remix
Something really exciting has been taking place in the grime scene recently, which we critics have been calling, "the new wave.” This is basically a group of up-and-coming MCs who are really bringing back what it means to be grime, with their gritty bars and flow. It has kind of re-energised the grime scene. Introducing MCs Kozzie, Marger, Merky Ace, Rival, Ego & Scrufizzer, who have all jumped on the remix of Spooky-produced underground hit of 2010.
And finally... my SCOTTISH STREET TRACK OF THE MONTH: Simba and Profisee - Rubicon Don
I’ve chosen Simba and Profisee’s Rubicon Don as my favourite Scottish street track this month. The lyrical content is comical; it’s basically about drinking the soft drink in the title! I’m also feeling the production on this one - it's got quite a Major Lazer feel to it, which each MC manages to flow over effortlessly.
