Big up my Twitter brethren SB!!!!

This is sick. JME goes innnnnn (no pun intended), and he genuinely is one of the nicest on the mic in grime….

Can someone just sign BBK in the UK please? If you know what your doing, it could work.

I’ve genuinely been unbelievably busy….I’m gonna start blocking 45 minutes a day to blog. it’s the only way.

Alicia

I definitely didn’t post this photo because her back off looks amazing. Definitely

Anyways as her new album comes closer to release (I’m not like one of these huge sources of information kinda of blogs, I’m not that guy!  Just google it, but it’s coming in December I think), Alicia is ready to drop her next single after ‘Doesn’t Mean Anything’.

It’s titled “Sleeping With A Broken Heart” and I can safely say, I have played it non stop for the last 2 weeks. SMASH!

produced by a fellow named Jeff Bhasker who is my hero (he produced and co-wrote a large chunk of 808’s & Heartbreak). Badderman producer and is clearly going to be the go to guy in 2010.

This hasn’t gone one day without getting played and then wheeled up on my itunes. The drums!!!!! I loves them…

Super hyped about Alicia next album…

ALICIA KEYS – SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART

This was meant to be a weekly feature. The last time I did a Hidden Gem was in February

Par: 1 – Barry: 0

Actually while I’m on the subject, check out the last one.  A great record from Bilal here

This hidden gem, is from 1/4 of the legendary group Jodeci. Dalvin Degrate

You would be forgiven for not knowing, that back in 2000, Dalvin released a solo album titled “Met.A.Mor.Phic”. It was released independently and I think its fair to say, it was pretty shit.

However. The jump off single and the only record of the album that some people may find familiar, was this little beauty.

Still love this record!

The video was awful though LOL

Hugely underrated artist. Cop his album “The Beauty Created” if you haven’t already done so. Big supporter of this dude…

***Previously on I Am DJ B.Com ***

DJ B Recommends….Jesse Boykins III

TQ…..Most people think he was a bit shit.  Or at least think he only had one good song (Westside)….what they don’t realise is that his debut album “They Never Saw Me Coming” was actually a late 90’s slept on classic (swear down).

People who haven’t heard the album always just look at me a little strange, like I’ve just called their mum a horse or something. Always an element of disgust in their expression….BUT…I stand by my statement.

The album reminds me of secondary school sooooo badly. It dropped in about 1999 and it was somewhat of a treasured classic in my year at school. We all knew the album word for word…very strange. But true, oh so very true.

Sick album that had some heavy guest features in the form of E40, Too Short, and Tha Dogg Pound. Here are some of the hottest tracks off this severely slept on album.

***TQ FACT – Jazze Jazze “>Pha featured heavily throughout the album as a producer…old skool Jazze Phizzle!***

*please note TQ made no more good songs after this album…and he was once signed to cash money….that worked out brilliantly for him*

Obviously “Westside”

& Bye Bye Baby

…but this is when the album became heavy. The album tracks were sick!

“When I Get Out” - fuck what you say, incredible slow jam

“If The World Was Mine” - I had a friend called macca at school (real talk)…he sang this non stop for 2 years. Everytime I see him to this day, he recites the chorus to me. Nice guy..

“Better Days” - Twas a Single, but great song still

“I Get Around” - a song about fucking around….is there a better thing to sing about?? (see next song)

“Fuck Your Sister Ft Too Short” - A song about wanting to fuck your sister….amaze

Basically (have to stop saying basically all the time), this album was the shiznit and I don’t care if people think I’m crazy…One of my fav albums of the late 90’s.

Yeah I don’t blog as often as I used to.  Suck a lemon…ha…just kidding, I love you.

This video dropped earlier in the week. Huge fan of this lady, did a DJ B Recommends back in March here.

This is her first official-y proper single type thing. What I’m trying to say is. It’s Ellie Goulding’s first single.

If you don’t like Ellie, you’re retarded in the head…simples

This record is becoming bigger and bigger. Expect this to blow up in a serious way.

…Grime freestyles and clashes from back in the day. Jeeez!

Lord of The Mics, Practice Hours, etc etc. There was so much hype around the clashes when these DVD’s used to come out. They were kinda before the youtube era, I guess these set the benchmark for the Grimedaily’s and SB’s of today.

Still heavy to watch now though…here’s some of my fav’s

Had to show this one obvs….Dizz’s switches lol! ….”I’M NOT A MOOK! I’M NOT A MOOK!”

Ghetts!!!!!!! “I was BADMAN in Jail”…….something to be proud of… ps Titch at the end!!!!” JOKER!

Boy Better Know pre T-Shirts….Shouts to the Akademiks crew!

2 of the games best – over 5 years ago. Nice vest Kane….

Cloud 9! ………..What happened to Earz?

This one is just funny, cos they are both a little bit mental and shout a lot.

So many more I could have picked… What were your favourites???

Simples – I love this! New album dropping November, titled “Colour Me Free”. The first single is called “Free Me” and is equally as heavy

PS Joss is looking peng (thats what the kids say right? peng?!?)

JOSS STONE FT NAS – GOVERNMENTALIST

Boyz II Men, one of the greatest vocal groups …ever?? maybe…anyways, they are back with their 3rd covers album, this time titled “Love”; an album covering some of music’s greatest love songs.

This is blatantly one of my fav Take That songs (what? Take That are sick, Gary Barlow is a badderman songwriter….hold tight N Dubz in the studio with him….random…but true)

And then to make this cover even more interesting, this hottie also features on it

I’m a fan (of Nadine, not 100% sure on the cover)…The album’s out November or something…What you think?

BOYZ II MEN FT NADINE COYLE – BACK FOR GOOD
