Live Music: Dizzee Rascal @ Webster Hall, NYC

Our friends over at Baeblemusic just sent us a reminder about the Electrifying performance Dizzee Rascal gave our New York cousins last month. Playing to a sold out crowd of Hip Hop and street wear connoisseurs, the Rascal went through his most recent "Maths & English" material. Make sure you Check out "Old Skool"... cause that's Hip Hop at its finest!!! and "Where's the G's" cause that's a classic in the making. Here's his performance of "Flex", but If you wanna catch the whole performance then head over to Baeblemusic.

ps: I had not idea AARON LACRATE was Dizzee's DJ... and that's fuckin' ace!

Music: Wiley Grimey & Dizzee Like Weezy

It was only time before Grime invaded our Dancefloors and surprisingly, it took way longer than expected. Recently we've seen Dizzee Razcal pair up with Bun B with a track that pushes the boundaries of Hip Hop without even trying. Similarly, Wiley's "Wearing my rolex transforms itself into THE Dancefloor banger in every DJ's set regardless of the genre. In the UK, Grime has been at the forefront of electronic music and Hip Hop, partly because of the popularity of Two Step and Drum&Bass in the late nineties. Now with the rise of Dubstep and the nostalgia for the heavy "rave style" synth bass, Urban music has a new palette to work from as you can see in the sets of DJ's such as Herve & Sinden. With all genres of music cross-pollinating back and forth, it is plausible we'll be listening to electro-rock-trance-hall pretty soon. Who knows, maybe we'll actually like it.

Just to show how a setting can make or break a video...this was flawless.
