M.I.M.S. ‘This Is Why I’m Hot’ (Blackout Remix) (Capitol)
First heard this track when we went out to new york in February to DJ, we kicked off our set with it and it went off! Hip hop meets dancehall, it’s heavy!!
Kelly Rowland F/ Eve ‘Like This’ (Sony)
Step aside B, Kelly’s back. And she’s brought Eve with her. Where on earth has Eve been for the last 5 years?! Never mind, this one’s a banger!
N-Dubz ‘Feva Las Vegas’ (LRC)
these guys have managed to create such a huge buzz and are destined for big things.
Groove Armada F/ Stush & Red Rat ‘Get Down’ (Sony BMG)
Not heard much from stush since the uk garage anthem “dollar sign” but this is a great combination, teaming her up with red rat on an electro-like track from the groove armada boys.
JME ‘Serious’ (Remix) (Rinse)
This tracks been floating around for maybe a couple of years now, but has finally been released as a single, with a video to boot!
Omarion ‘Entourage’ (Epic)
First surfaced and created a buzz before “Ice Box” and the album “21”, now set for big re-release.
Diddy F/ Keyshia Cole ‘Last Night’ (Bad Boy)
Arguably the best single released so far, from diddy’s “Press Play” set.
Ciara ‘Get Up’ (Sony Bmg)
First popped last year, on the soundtrack from the movie “Step Up”, still doing it’s thing in the clubs and due for a single release very soon.
Mr. Vegas ‘Hot Wuk’ (N/A)
Last summer’s dancehall anthem was Tony Matterhorn’s “Dutty Wine”, this looks likely to be this summer’s successor – energy!
Roll Deep ‘Celebrate’ (Roll Deep)
Big tune! First single from their independently released second album, “Rules & Regulations”. These guys a really moving the grime scene forward.
Redman ‘Put It Down’ (Def Jam)
He’s been dropping the club bangers since the early 90’s, this one’s produced by Timbaland. Bang!
Collie Buddz ‘Come Around’ (Epic)
An ode to the herb, set to a slow, bass driven reggae groove. Have some of this, and pass it on!
Chris Brown ‘Wall 2 Wall ‘ (Zomba)
First track to appear from Chris Brown’s upcoming second album “Exclusive”, will do the business in the clubs just like his debut single “Run It”
Timbaland F/ Keri Hilson & D.O.E. ‘Way I Are’ (Polydor)
Uptempo, second single from “Shock Value” – an intersting and varied album, well worth checking.
Lethal Bizzle ‘Mr’ (V2)
A pounding track, pathing the way for the arrival of the new album “Back To Bizznizz”
Machel Montano ‘One More Time (Remix F/ M.o.p.)’ (N/A)
By the time Notting Hill Carnival comes around this year you won’t be able to escape this tune.
Bobby Valentino ‘Anonymous’ (Universal)
It’s uptempo, it’s catchy, it’s that man again – Timbaland!
Tinchy Stryder ‘Breakaway ‘ (Takeover)
Tidy little track produced by one of the top boys on the grime scene, Davinche.
Lloyd ‘Get It Shawty’ (Island)
Probably best known up until now for his slow jams, Lloyd should get the booties shaking in the clubs with this one, it’s got a nice little bounce!
50 Cent ‘Straight To The Bank’ (Interscope)
This made in to the top 20 just so that we could say that it’s a load of b**locks! Basically, this track is about him being so rich now that he “don’t gotta rap no more”. Then, maybe he shouldn’t?!
