Check this out...

Amy Winehouse punching someone in the Glastonbury crowd.....and she called Kanye a c**t....I like her music and she definitely livens things up, but she does need help!!

....and the winner is HOV

Jay-Z killed it at Glastonbury!!

Silencing the critics with a massive response from the crowd to a massive massive set. I watched on BBC Three live, if you missed it you need to get downloading it from iplayer or onto YouTube...

What a way to open:

No matter what.

T.I- No matter what.

This song is sick. I think it's produced byn Danja. Speaking of Danja, he has just won the ASCAP Songwriters of the year award. His credits this year include Mariah Carey- 'migrate, Usher- 'Appetite' and now this.

This tune is taken from t.i.'s new album 'Paper Trail.'

Me like..........

This is Kid Sister and Kanye West- Pro Nails.

She is a new hipster rapper from Chicago, she is engaged with Dj A trak (Kanye's Dj)- good head start!

Anyway this is a good song and should do well here.

Let me know what you think.............

I think its siiiick, let me know what you think and check out I Haunt Wizards @ www.myspace.com/ihauntwizards

Glasgow Show Cancelled!

Just a quick one for anyone reading who was coming to my show at The Soundhaus in Glasgow on June 29th - it has been cancelled.

The reason is that my agent cannot get hold of the promoter who booked it at all and he or she hasn't been in touch.

This has happened to me before, its very frustrating because often it happens at even later notice than this and people assume its your fault when it is actually someone booking you months in advance and then going awol!!

Anyway if the person who booked me is reading then get in touch asap!

Hopefully I'll be back up in Scotland soon anyway, I like it up there, big up everyone in the crowd at the ABC when I supported Jack Penate - you were live!

Underground Heroes

My mates Underground Heroes have a single out very soon 'Skinny Twins'. Large tune, they're musics siiiick ina head (I've done a tune with them that you'll hear one dAY! Hopefully I'll be doing more...) so make sure you buy this when its out and support the boys!!

You can hear more and read they're funny blogs at: www.myspace.com/undergroundheroes or find them in my top friends on myspace!

Skinny Twins (wish I'd made it down to this shoot looks like a mad one!)

This is sick!

Check this, you can make a tune using only windows 98 & xp sounds lol!! I love this kind of crazy stuff.......

YouTube has the weirdest things....

This is just mad, the worlds largest tongue....you come accross some strange stuff on YouTube!!

Random

I just came accross this video on YouTube, I'd completely forgtotten I did this tune (well a verse anyway) I recorded it at Rapids house and sent it to them, I like the outcome though!! Its definitely the most random thing I've ever done!! Let me know what you think....a nice bit of Swedish dance with me.....

Kocky & Tinchy Stryder - 4ever Juvenile

Crystal Castles

Crystal Castles-Crimwave

I actually really like this tune. It's definitely different but interesting. Crystal Castles are an electro duo from Canada and have been around for a minute now.

You can catch them touring all around the world! But you can catch them in England at the Reading and Leeds festivals in the summer.

Self titled debut album out now.

This song is called 'Courtship dating.' Do you recognise it?

Busy...

....sorry I haven't blogged yet today, had a bit of a busy one, a whole day without blogging feels kinda weird now lol!! I'll be back tomorrow!! (well today now actually...but a lot later on today...)

New ish!

Lloyd and Lil Wayne-Girls all around the world

What do you think?

Congratulations Weezy!

Lil Wayne is the first rapper since 50 Cent to sell a million copies or over in the albums first week of release. 50 Cents' 'Massacre' sold 1.1 million copies in its first week of release in 2005.

Lil Waynes' highly anticipated third installment of 'The Carter' series has sold over a million copies since it was released last Thursday in America and has topped the Billboard album chart.

Weezy is definitely the biggest rapper at the moment and I think the album is sick. I like 'Got money.' You lot need to check it out.

I've posted up 'Bye Bye' remix by Mariah Carey with Lil Wayne and Akon...........

Adulthood

Adulthood is out in cinema's nationwide on Friday 2oth June, so this Friday! I was meant to make it down to the premiere in the West end however it was at 9:30am and I had a show the night before. So that was asking alot!

I'm really looking foward to seeing it, should be sick. Big up Bashy and Maniac who have made the theme tune called 'Kidulthood 2 Adulthood' and it's another smash from Maniac.

You lot definitely need to check out the soundtrack which is out now. It features my song 'Follow' from Star in the Hood! Also music from No Lay, D double E, Wiley, Dizzee Rascal etc.



This is a trailer from Adulthood which should yet your appetite!



Bashy-Kidulthood 2 Adulthood

The Guardian Band of the Day!

I was band of the day on the Guardian website this weekend, forgot to put it up on the actual day but here si the link to it : http://music.guardian.co.uk/newbands/story/0,,2285553,00.html

Heres the story:Hometown: East London.

The lineup: Tinchy Stryder (vocals).

The background: You may have seen Tinchy Stryder's name about, or seen him name-checked on blogs or articles about grime, but he's no old-timer. In fact, Stryder, real name Kwasi Danquah, who lives in Tower Hamlets but was born in Ghana, has only just turned 21. He started making music with his group Ruff Sqwad when he was 13, at 16 he was a pirate radio DJ, he's recorded with Wiley and Kano, remixed Mike Skinner and toured with Jack Penate and Bedouin Soundclash. And he was the only nominee at the 2007 MOBO awards signed to an indie label, Takeover, run by two teenagers, Archie and Jack (one of them the son of the Liberal Democrat MP for Norwich), who financed their operation by selling T-shirts on eBay. They've sold 13,000 to date bearing the slogan Star in the Hood, the title of Stryder's album and an expression of his determination to stay in touch with his roots but not get dragged down by ghetto misery, hence his imminent tour of schools. "It's important to show that black males aren't all about looking threatening and robbing your granny," he quips, glock in hand. "It's not easy growing up in an inner-city area, but I want to show people you can take that experience and turn it into something positive."

Stryder's latest single is positive: basically, if you liked John Carpenter's buzzing, bass-heavy synth-instrumental for his movie Assault On Precinct 13 but wished it had a cockney raggaman rapping rapid-fire rhymes about London life over the top, you'll love Stryderman. Produced by Fraser T Smith, who's worked with everyone from Kano to Craig David (Stryder's got another track, Something About Your Smile, which is a bid for the pop-R&B/garage-lite demographic), Stryderman is accompanied by a video directed by Mighty Mo, responsible for recent clips for Lethal Bizzle and Roll Deep. A cake-and-eat-it affair that nails fashionistas and critiques hip-hop culture while showing Stryder parading about with models in shiny bling, it features a cameo of Tim Westwood shamelessly wearing a Star in the Hood T-shirt. But don't let that put you off, nor the fact that Stryder's a not-so-secret fan of Phil Collins: Stryderman is a bowel-quaking behemoth that we hesitate to call "booty-shaking" but can't think of a sensible alternative.

Most likely to: Do a Wearing My Rolex. I LIKE THIS PART - I HOPE HE'S RIGHT LOL!!

Least likely to: Wear a Rolex - he's keeping it real.

DJ Q

This is the brand new clip from DJ Q for his smash 'U What.' The vid looks really good and obviously expensive seeing as the tune is signed to Ministry.

I think this tune could break through into the mainstream. Let me know what you think?

new fixture list.

My team Man Utd first game (16th August) is against Newcastle Utd. Good game starting the season off with at Old Trafford. I think it will be a routine win seeing as we are at home.

I think the league, this year, will be tougher with Scolari in charge of Chelsea and with some of the signings Liverpool are making. Also there is the chance we could be losing Cristiano Ronaldo which would obviously be a big loss.

Check the full fixture list at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7456163.stm

Radio 1

Just found a random pic from the Kano tour!

Big up Trevor Nelson, Westwood and Ras Kwame who played 'Stryderman' on BBC Radio 1 over the weekend! Also Big up all the djs who are supporting the new single on every station accross England!

Hilarious!

Scott Storch- Bulit like that.

I know this old but I thought I had to post it because I recently came accross it again. It is so funny! I know Scott Storch is a f'd producer but this was a mistake. I bet even when he can't even watch this now!

WOW

Check this guy on YouTube - David Sides. He does the most f'd things on the piano ever. I love watching these!!!

Here's a couple of my favourites:

MAKE IT RAIN - FAT JOE & LIL WAYNE


UMBRELLA EH EH EH BY RIHANNA


LOVE IN THIS CLUB - USHER & YOUNG JEEZY

MTV Base From The Endz

I posted the photos of when I recorded this last month. Now here's the finished piece! You can catch this on Base throughout the month! Also news on the STRYDERMAN video, you can now catch it on MTV, Flava, Chart Show Tv, Fizz and my favourite Channel U!!

Floyd Mayweather JR 39 and out.

I was a bit gutted when i saw that Floyd Mayweather JR has retired. I thought a rematch between him and Ricky Hatton was going to happen, obviously not now! Floyd Mayweather is definitely the pound for pound best in the world.

He retires with his 39-0 record which isn't that bad! There was talk of a rematch between him and Ricky Hatton in 2009 however it seems those hopes are now dashed, for the time being. Floyd Mayweather has said before that he will never fight again. For Example after his win last year against Oscar De La Hoya he said he would never fight again. In December he fought Ricky Hatton.

So maybe he is trying to push his pay up for his next fights. There was a proposed rematch between him and De La Hoya on September 20th.

Floyd Mayweather is the best boxer of recent times and I think we'l see him again.

What do you think about this? Do you want to see a rematch between him and Ricky Hatton?

Nike Air structure triax 91

Saw these and thought perfect for my purple star in the hood tee! You can check them out for yourselves at http://www.size-online.co.uk/product.asp?id=5175.

Grime artist success...

I was reading through Radio 1's new playlist yesterday and if you have a look through it here: www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/playlist/

You'll see that whether their songs are particularly 'grimey' or not grime artists are making big progress in uk popular music. Wiley and Dizzee are both on the A-List and DJ Ironik is on the 1-Upfront.....hopefully I can join them soon with Stryderman....

Let me know what you think of the tunes that are on that list (which is really the 'holy grail' for any artist releasing in the UK). I like all three of the tunes and artists.

Ronaldinho

I hope Ronaldinho does come to the Premiership, even though I support Man U. He is actually unreal just watch some of his vids on youtube or check my ones on the blog.

He will be the highest paid footballer in the world on around £200,000 a week if he signs at Man City.

Another sick watch.........

Ltd G-shock Bape watch.

Oh dear!

New tune with Wiley

This is produced by Wiley and he's on the hook. Tell me what you think! Exclusive to my blog for now!!

i like........

Madonna- Give it to me, produced by Neptunes.

Not the greatest quality vid but best I could find!

Nas

Nas- Be A N*gga Too, produced by Salaam Remi and Big Jack.

Vid directed by Rik Cordero.

This is going to cause a stir.

Check these out.

Casio- Colourful G-shock watch. I like.

Stryderman!

My new video............

Let me know what you think.........

G-unit

Straight Outta Southside- G-unit, produced by Swizz Beatz

This tune is sick. It's in the same vein as 'I Get Money.' Some critics have been saying again that 50 and G-unit are falling off, just like they did when 'Curtis' was coming out and then 'I Get Money' dropped! Now this smash has dropped it should hush alot of these critics.
