First of all let me say well done to Joe who joined me on last weeks Teenage Thursdays. I didn't review it properly but we had a good chat on all things hip-hop and it was great to talk to a fellow hip-hop enthusiast! Last night I had a pair of DJ's up with me (OC and DJC) aswell as a young rapper from Shamrock Lawn (Sintar). It went realy well and we got loads of texts and positive reaction. I played a tune from each of them. We started off with a clever DJ mash up created by DJ C, who threw 50 Cents "In Da club" over Snoops "Drop It Like Its Hot" Hip-hop isn't even his main forte but he's defo got some musical talent as the blend was effortless. I then proceded to play one of Sintar's tunes. I've had his demo for a few weeks and have been impressed by the way he has put together and structured his songs. "Rappin Is My Style" is a low-riding Easy E sounding west coast styled number featuring banging beats and quality lyrics and flows. He makes his own beats aswell whcih is great. We finished the show with OC's remix of Kanye's Shirley Bassey's sampling "Diamonds From Sierre Leone". He brings this tune into the banging dance territory whcih so many youngsters love and fair play because it totally brought the original to a different level. That's what remixing is all about! These guys are great and we had a really good laugh, I hope to hear much more from them all in the future!
