3. Gez Feat. Future & KOF - Say What You Want
My third favourite track of the month comes from three Liverpool-based grime MCs named Gez, Future and KOF with - Say What You Want. The production on this one caught my ear straight away; it has a real old school grime feel to it and complements each MC's flow really well. Just goes to show that it isn't only London-based artists that can deliver on-point grime music!
2. Random Impulse – Overload (True Tiger Remix)
My second favourite track of the month comes from Random Impulse (right), a grime act who isn’t afraid to say that he has a real passion for indie music and loves listening to The White Stripes.
In fact, he actually plays the guitar and made a big name for himself in 2010 by remaking some well-known tracks using his guitar, a weekly project which he called - 'Refix'.
Overload is his latest single and he’s teamed up with dubstep dons, True Tiger, for the remix on this one. Dubstep crew, you’re going to love this one.
1. TRACK OF THE MONTH: Lioness - AllBlackWinterNess
My favourite track of the month comes from one of the most highly-rated female MCs in the underground music scene, and she goes by the name of Lioness. A lot of female spitters have come and gone, but Lioness has stuck it out and it seems to be paying off for her right now. Her wordplay and laid-back flow on AllBlackWinterNess won me over the first time I heard it.
And finally... my SCOTTISH STREET TRACK OF THE MONTH: DePTHS & Scatabrainz – No-Body
The mesmerizing hip-hop production on No-Body allowed DePTHS and Scatabrainz to deliver their bars with ease. The subject matter is deep, to say the least. You're instantly captured by the chorus: “Feels like, I know nobody. Seems like, I know nobody…” Definitely a track that makes you want to get inside the brain of the lyricists.
