Keep a look out...

2009 will see the launch of two particular artist’s solo careers in the UK. The first is the London born and bred, rapper/indie solo artist that goes by the name ‘Master Shortie’. If you mix Dizzie Rascal with Calvin Harris you may get something a little like this. Whether you feel what he’s coming with or not, I don’t think it can be debated that he is quite unique in his sound and positioning. He can be seen live, early next year across the UK.

The second of the artists you may well have already heard of, or if you don’t know who he is you would have at least heard his voice before, (well unless you’ve been living underneath a rock for the past 12 months). In any case, his name is Daniel Merriweather, his claim to fame would be his vocal on the Mark Ronson hit “Stop Me”, while more recently he featured on the Wiley track “Cash In My Pocket”. Now he’s taking on the challenge of stepping into the limelight on his own. On the debut release “Change”, he puts down a nice vocal, however, I’m not really feeling some of the other stuff on his MySpace most notably ‘Cigarettes’. For me his success depends on where his management and record label position his sound.
