Channel U 2 – Volume 2
Gut Active

Channel-U has become one of the UK’s leading urban music TV channels since launching in 2003, and now boasts the largest urban playlist in Europe. After the critical acclaim of the first album, Channel-U dips into to playlist and pulls together the most popular and hottest urban tracks from the past 6 months. This double CD features some of the sickest sounds from the urban underground, including Bashy’s underground monster ‘Black Boys’, chart friendly N Dubz’s ‘Better Not Waste My Time’, plus bangers from Akala (Miss Dynamites’ younger sibling), scene legends Flirta D, NY, Blak Twang plus an army of new and upcoming MCs, producers, vocalists all representing the UK! Since it’s inception Channel-U has offered young artists and upcoming labels alike a platform to reach their audience, featuring everything from low budget video productions to mega budget top ten anthems. Channel-U has provided the Grime scene with a unique cottage industry to develop UK urban music: Grime, Niche / Bassline House, UK Hip Hop and R&B are all covered by Channel U’s broad music policy, and all that goodness (or badness depending on your persuasion) is captured right here. For those who want to taste the sounds of inner city estates in the UK, this is the ticket.
