Boy Better Know, Fort Knox & Terrafirma

Post categories:

Mistajam | 15:49 UK time, Thursday, 19 April 2007

Major league shouts to and all at Blacktronica and Zaid and the crew at - it went down last week in London - Klash, JME, Skepta, Just Blaze and Brent Rollins were brought together to create a track and artwork in front of a live audience as part of Playstation 3's 110 Sessions. Check JME's video of the event
**WARNING/SHOCK/HORROR: K-Lash swears in the following clip**:

Personally, while this kind of thing isn't unique to the UK, it's essential for our scene's growth and what I hope it does is help to get people working together. The one thing we don't do in the British Hip Hop scene is collaborate enough - the deejays don't put out joint mixtapes, the artists don't work with people outside their camp, the producers make beats for only a few artists - and I hope that it doesn't take Blacktronica and Spine putting together a project like this or Just Blaze being flown in to make the beat to get Boy Better Know and Terrafirma into the studio again. What do you think?

    The track is big. Klash destroys it lyrically.

    As good as Boy Better Know are, I'd like to hear Skinny, Lee Ramsay, Dizz, Kano... those are our top UK MCs, standard.

    personally i think jme is an embarresment to the uk.....

    he needs to get his grown man on, his content is childish and never gonna appeal to a mass audience. his flow is over rated, yes hes built a decent brand but it only really appeals to hoodrats etc

    up your game jme man.....

    skepta, credit where its due is hype in a rave

    klash, very educational as artist

    Lol what is just blaze on??? JME, Skepta and klashnekoff is a bit of a step down from working with Saigon, Nas and Talib Kweli isnt it. Yeah its good for things to grow over in the uk and have people like just blaze comin here is dope but to work with jme and skepta is not so dope. whilst i know its good to have a mix of diiferent styles of music and all that, i hate it when grime mc's just jump on the bandwagon. im not the biggest fan of klash but at least hes been involved in hip-hop over here. Nuf said. Peace

    Care to EXplain how diversifying your market appeal is a step down??

    Collaborations like this will hopefully inspire anybody affiliated with music to grow on a universal level. Thinking and working 'outside the box' or barriers of convention can lead to something exciting, fresh and new... just what the doctor ordered I think...

    Gwaaaaan JME, Skepta & Just Blaze...

    BOY BETTER KNOW the possibilities are endless...

    ..why'd he work with boy better know..they make t shirts!..thats about it!..K-lash should stay away from grime..its poop! jme's bars are always cheeeeeeeeesssseeeeyyyyyyy!..

    I dont think Just Blaze is 'diversifying' his market appeal, just ruining it. For example, the guy works with some actual artists (Talib Kweli, Nas etc etc) that have good lyrics and work really well on his beats, jme and skepta on the otherhand dont really sound right on his beats. Anyway jme and skepta....who are they, what have they done thats so outstanding???? Jme blogs alot on myspace and skepta emmm well yeah skepta hasnt really done anything that good either, he does have a myspace though so i guess hes big in the game lol. To jme and skepta (and the whole grime community), stop jumping on the bangwagon.....ALL THE REAL HEADS CAN TELL YOUR FAKING THE FUNK. Peace
