Latest offering from the Boy Better Know CEO but it makes you wonder - when is Grime and Electro going to end their sordid love affair?
Video to Roll Deep's latest release 'Moving In Circles' taken from their album 'Return Of The Big Money Sound'. A different style to what they usually bring but still a decent effort nonetheless.

What a start to 2009 it's been for Tinchy Stryder.
It's just been confirmed that 'Take Me Back feat. Taio Cruz' has hit no.3 in the Official UK Singles Chart. Anyone who's followed Tinchy's progress since he won Best Newcomer at the 2003 Sidewinder Awards will agree that this success is fully deserved on his work rate alone. People may point of other artists with a similar ethic but none have come close to the crossover appeal of tracks such as 'Breathe' and 'Something About Your Smile', so this will come as no surprise to many.
This now means that there's been three top five singles by Grime Artists in the past twelve months which brings back the same familiar question - are the British buying public now ready for the Grimewave? Or this is another false dawn with record companies nipping at bits and pieces from the scene a la UK Garage?
Will this open doors for others? It's shaping up to be an interesting year...

Below are videos taken from Kano's 140 Grime Street album launch party at the O2 Arena in London. Many have commented that this is a historic moment in Grime as Kano, Ghetto, Wiley, Skepta, Tinchy Stryder and JME all blessed the stage in one huge performance. If Grime is to blow as expected, we need more collaborations such as this. Then watch the scene grow...

Kano's 140 Grime Street was delivered to me today. Having had a quick listen through, the initial thought was that this could be one of Grime's greatest ever releases. A reviews in the pipeline so be sure to check back soon.
How will it stand up against such classics as Boy In The Corner/Treddin On Thin Ice? Will this be held with the same esteem as these albums? Only time will tell...
One thing however, as the title of this post suggests, Kano's back - and with one hell of a bang.
