Jahzy mixtape ‘Growing Up’ is a mixtape one can definitely recommend to the Grime music lovers out there. I would describe ‘Growing Up’ to be a dark underground no gimmick having collection of music, and something that would surely be appreciated by the true lovers of the Grime music genre.

‘Growing Up’ contains slow paced music with heavy baselines throughout that will ensure that your stereo watts are working to their full ability. My favourite song from the E.P would have to be the track ‘Girl’, I suppose it is safe to say that I was suckered in at first by the Spanish guitars which add a soft touch to the otherwise x-rated themed song, but all is in good fun. Another song that really got my blood boiling was the song entitled ‘Illusion’, which truly can spark the life back into the veins of any listener.

‘Growing Up’ is a fantastic mixtape for you underground Grime lovers, so be sure not to miss out on it. You can download or stream this mixtape right here and now for FREE!!!!

The cover tracks that Tremz has chosen to use on his mixtape are very RnB focused. However this does not affect the performance that Tremz delivers on these tracks, he still manages to keep on time with the rhythms and not fall behind causing him to stumble on his words. Tremz voice and style of flow are very distinctive amongst many, it is easy on the ears, and surely something you will remember.

Hip-hop, Grime, Bassline and Dubstep on one mixtape is a lot to ask for on one E.P, but delivering this variety of music seems to come easy to Menace & Rowdie as they present their mixtape ‘Bout To Set It Off’.

From the first song they will have you wanting to bounce around in your room with an unnatural source of energy. The mixtape comes with a total of eight hot vibing tracks, which will lift any gloomy spirit out of the dumps in time for the weekend. Menance & Rowdie are easy to listen to, and do a good job in keeping on time with the music, in which a lot of artist fail to do.

‘Hocus Pocus’ is perhaps my favourite song from the E.P, as one cannot help but love the dark and deep bassline this track presents. The freestyle performance of Menace & Rowdie on this song is nothing short of exceptional.

In 2008 the skillful artist known as ILL Murk released a mixtape called ‘The B-List’. Although I was only given the pleasure of listening to it recently, I still found it to be a fascinating mixtape, ILL Murk was as strong a lyricist in 2008 as he is now, so ‘The B-List’ is certainly a mixtape worth checking out, as ILL Murk has a lot of talent in his arsenal that he wishes to share with the world.

ILL Murk has always been an artist to deliver an honest and truthful message through his music, and really gets the minds of his listeners ticking. Even so, ILL Murk can be quite humuours in his work, and although he has a tough exterior you may even find that he does have a sensitive side to his personality.

A song that I liked from the E.P, and that gave me quite a bit of laughter was the song ‘Forbidden Fruit’ in which ILL Murk talks about a particular part of the body that should not place his lips upon, despite how hungry he may be. ‘Only Human’ is also another great song, the message ILL Murk delivers in this song revolves around the fact that no matter how tough somebody may seem on the surface, they can be hurt just as much as any other person that walks on the face of the Earth. I found this interesting because on many occasions it seems as though a lot people forget that they are not made of steal, and bullets will hurt them just as much as it would anyone else. If it is an RnB vibe you are in search for, then make sure you give the song ‘Out Of Love’ 3 minutes of your time, I am sure that you will come to enjoy this mellow laid back track.

Although this mixtape has been around for sometime, I am sure that t here are many of you that have not been given the opportunity to hear it, so make sure you download it right here and now for FREE!!!

‘The Good Stuff’ is the hot mixtape by young UK hip-hop artist Rec. Rec has demonstrated his passion for the music on this mixtape, as he starts off on his musical journey. Rec has laid down a strong foundation in which he can now build up from as he progresses even further with his music. This E.P contains a laid back sensational vibe, most of the music production is easy going, but is brought to life by Rec’s vibrant lyrical flow.

The combined collection of songs from this E.P presents a varied style of music. Most songs are portrayed in the underground hip-hop style, however there songs of the Grime and RnB genre. There are a lot of songs I have come to enjoy from this E.P such as ‘A Mothers Pain’, this song is surely one that many will find hits home the hardest, as most of us out there would love nothing more than for our mothers to be proud of our accomplishments, and would strive to do whatever we can to make life as easy as possible for her in the near future. ‘Zoners’ is also another of my favourite songs, I love the chilled production of this track, and it is something that you can defiantly mellow out to after a long week in the office, if so it were.

Rec is a young and talented artist, so be sure to check in on him, and see how far he will take his talents in the future. Get his mixtape ‘The Good Stuff’ right here and now for FREE!!!
