Couple of vids from some of our younger Cardiff based rhyme compadres as they jump on two different popular riddims. Astroid Boys ride Mike Lowry and Kitty Cowell goes back for a Pass Out drop of her own.

Plus if these aren't quite deep or heavy enough for you, it might be worth avoiding the next video but we got much love for Kitty here, it's a catchy tune if not a bit too far on the pop sides for our taste and I'm DJing in the video (Kaptin that is). Fair enough?

We got a few new vids (and downloads) come our way recently, so here they are in alphabetical order...

Skream & Example - Shot Yourself In The Foot Again



Shot Yourself In The Foot Again - Radio Edit by Ministry of Sound

Couple of fresh videos for your viewing and listening pleasure...

First up is a track from San Jose native Megabusive called Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo...



bigUP to Trailer Trasher from T.I.T.S. for putting me on to that one.

Next is South African party crew Playdoe's new track Pop Like This...



Incidentally I shall be supporting Playdoe next Friday alongside the mighty Tomb Crew (who I posted a couple of mixes up from last week). If you happen to be in the vicinity then reach down...

A few posts ago I put up some tracks from a producer called Stagga. Well he also has a project alongside UK Hip-hop stalwart Junior Disprol and partner in rhyme Chud Jackson by the name of Dead Residents.

They have a new album dropping called Triple Crown and this is their first video from it Scumbongo in which they team back up with Ryan Andrews, the director of their last zombie fest video Boogaloo. This time a gang of twisted Super Heroes hold court at their secret Bingo hall Headquarters. It's rare to find such good club busting digital beats under the kind of flows that Dead Residents deliver on this one and it's a breath of fresh fire indeed. Take a set of speakers down to your local zoo, slap this on and watch 'the parrots get rago' and the 'rhinos get rago.'

This video just dropped on YouTube for the Starkey remix of ‘Firewalk With Us’ from Brooklyn Grime crew Os Crunc Tesla & the Fearless Vampire Killer Arcestra. The original track was featured on last years ‘The Unexpektheadz 2’ compilation on French label Ekler O Shock and then released on the ‘Firewalk With US’ EP from the Luv Technologies label. The track features K-Swift (from New York, no relation to the late great Baltimore queen), Seraphim and DJ Raedawn (who I believe is also Crunc Tesla).




Philladelphia Bass producer Starkey was one of the featured artists on Mary Anne Hobbs’(soon to be seminal) Generation Bass programme last week and this remix looks to be featured on a remix EP coming out on Dead Homies which will probably also feature remixes from Bristol all rounder Awkward, fellow Brooklyn resident DJ Oddfellow and Queens based Londoner Natz, as they are already out there (using the same video).

If you have some time then Raedawn also sent us this wicked little video compilation of friends that includes some classics from Beans, Santogold, TTC, etc plus a few more you might not have discovered just yet.

Not really much to tell from Carnival… drink, dance, get squashed, lose people, dance some more, eat, drink some more and keep dancing til it’s time to go. The general pattern doesn’t really change. Of course there’s a lot more you can say about it but if you’ve been, you know and if you haven’t then I couldn’t begin to explain it here. Let’s just say there’s no better way to spend a Bank Holiday Monday.



What was missing for me this year was a Carnival ‘tune’, something fresh that you hear over and over again. To be honest we kinda got herded around sounds that just pumped out the classics and finally settled at Gaz’s Rockin Blues (dressed up the best as always - this time with an 'Around The World in 80 Days' theme) watching a ska band called The Trojans. Not really inspiration for a Chrome Kids post but good fun nevertheless and some great guest slots from Ska saxophonist Megumi Mesaku, the legendary Prince Buster and one of our favourite rappers Mystro…actually he’d be perfect for a post. Here’s two videos for two of the best Hip-hop tunes this year.

Mystro - U Live & U Learn



YesKing feat. Mystro - One Of Those Days



The first is from his now mythical forthcoming release on Beer & Rap the ‘Fuck Da Taxman EP’ which will hopefully see the light of day soon, and the second track is from Mark Rae / Rhys Adams project YesKing off their ‘Rock This World’ album which is also slightly mythical thanks to their distributor going bust after releasing just a few hundred copies and not letting go of the rest. Definitely worth checking if you can find one though.
