Hey guys, I know you've all been waiting a good while for this video...so remember you watched it here first at Hustle 'Ard! x

Shady's Back

Eminem is officially back, with his first video release from the forthcoming album “Relapse”. To be honest it’s nothing particularly new in the sense that Em’s getting at a bunch of people in the industry with some kiddie pop rhymes. As usual the single’s a joke ting more like ringtone rap than anything else but I do hope the album has a lot more credible content, because the guy is undoubtedly a hip-hop legend.

Scorcher and Wretch 32 drop an advert for their clothing lines.

I think the ad works well and was a good idea. The pair go back to back on a regular basis and never disappoint!

What's the verdict?

A Lesson From Dad

The immediate family and I spent Mothers Day with my Grandmother and other family members in North West London. On the way we were listening to the radio and having our customary driving debate; I drive too fast, mum too slow and my dad is a better driver than the Stig!

After i had enough of arguing with my dad about who was the better driver we got onto the topic of me not going to see Erykah Badu last year or Musiq Soulchild who was playing at the Indigo2 later that night. With everyone knowing that both Erykah and Musiq are my favourite artists by a long stretch my Dad didnt know what was stopping me from going to see them both. I explained that I couldn't go as my partner in crime was out of the country. He looked at me and smiled while rubbing my back. A sort of understanding/heartfelt pat on the back...

Literally 10 minutes later my Mums mobile rang then Musiq's latest single So Beautiful played on the radio. Dad had heard the first verse and turned the volume down. He whispered 'Son, have you got this song at home' I looked at him confused at why this big old man is whispering to me and said 'Yeah'! He smiled and said 'Thats good son'. I had no idea what the old man was up too!

I had the tune on my Blackberry and had planned to send it to my partner in crime but the bloody thing wouldn't send...pissed!

Got to my Nan's and had dinner with the rest of the fam which was really nice. Relaxed, caught lots of joke and reminisced on years gone by with my cousins.

Fast forward to driving home & pulling up to my house, the old man pulls me aside and tells me to put the tune on a CD and give it to him. Although confused at why the old man was so eager i went upstairs and did as he requested. Back downstairs i gave my Dad the CD. He popped it in the CD player then pulled Mum into the front room and pressed play, walked over to her with his swagger intact, pulled her by the hand and thanked her for being a wonderful mother to his kids.

I'm not gonna lie, I was sick in the mouth for a hot minute until i saw how after 36 years of marriage they were definitely still in love!

I made sure i sent the tune to my partner in crime. The 22nd March wasn't just a special day for Mothers in the UK...

Ghetts x Lil Silva = Came In The Game

Ghetts jumps on one of my favourite funky house tunes produced by Lil Silva called Seasons.

K.I.G. Family and Gracious K have shown that having little content on a funky house tune doesn't necessarily mean that you wont create a funky house banger. When it comes to Ghetts, content is something you always expect & Ghetts never disappoints!

Lil' Wayne's got a weird voice on Prom Queen

I've always thought Lil' Wayne's voice was a bit weird, and to be honest nothing's changed...I've just put up with it - the man makes hits! But THIS is taking it too far!

I guess you guys all know that Lil Wayne's been hustlin' ard and broadening his musical horizons by venturing into rock. O...kay. Anyhoo, here's the first single off his new rock album 'Rebirth'. Please listen out for his screechy voice on the chorus...'Prom Queen, Prom Queen'! I don't get how he thought that was acceptable, but anyways here it is. By the way I'm not a fan!

Mixtape Of The Year?

I've had Drake's latest mixtape 'So Far Gone' for a while now but have only just got round to playing it. After listening I'd agree with DJ Semtex and say that this is better than some artists albums! A very solid mixtape and possibly the mixtape of the year so far.

Is this 09's benchmark?

K.I.G FAMILY - HEAD SHOULDER KNEES & TOES (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Having broke the news last year K.I.G Family got signed to a major. The official video is finally here. The video made me chuckle still...

What do you know about Tecktonik???

Tecktonik is a form of dance that caught my eye a while back. It’s a mixture of techno and old school breakdancing. It was born in France and has spread through mainland Europe and now other parts of the world through word of mouth and video sharing sites like wild fire. With the rise of electro and dirty house, I predict it won’t be too long until we see the Tecktonik craze of flailing arms and quick foot movements take the UK shores.

Coby & Chris are Doin' It Big!

Hey Guys!

I’ve been gone for a minute...but I’m back now! No seriously, I apologise for the delay in my post but everything’s okay again...because Colby O’Donis is here!

Who’s Colby O’Donis I hear you ask? Well if you didn’t know, he’s the 19 year old RnB singer-songwriter that music mogul Akon has managed to lock in his case of artists, signed under the label ‘Kon Live’. I was extremely surprised to hear how old this guy actually was, as his talent seems so mature and his voice is technically sound.

Colby hasn’t just popped up from nowhere though. At the age of nine he worked with the hit-makers responsible for Backstreet Boys, N*Sync and Britney Spears to name a few, developing his craft and homing in on his song-writing ability. He was even asked to sign a record deal with Babyface’s label at the tender age of 15!

To cut a long story short, this guy has done so much in so little time it amazes me...supporting artists such as JoJo, Brian McKnight and N*Sync...collaborating with Justin Timberlake...he even worked with Michael Jackson in the legend’s own studio, releasing the single ‘Your Love in My Life’...What more can I say? As soon as I heard his voice early last year, I just knew he was going to be huge, and was so excited about him. I can imagine the fight that the major labels must have had to secure him and Akon the Convict won (although his label is in conjunction with Interscope)!! Coby is, of course, featured in the bridge of label-mate Lady Gaga’s hit ‘Just Dance’, but here’s some of the material he also released last September from his debut album ‘Colby O’:

‘Dont Turn Back’




My Fav...'So Beautiful’ with Akon...listen out for Coby’s backing vocals and lead on the second verse!



Sorry guys, I was so excited that I had to tell you all about CHRIS CORNELL whilst I’m here. This is what happens when I’m gone too long...there’s too much to say mayn! Not sure if you know who he is, but Chris Cornell was the lead singer and songwriter of rock bands SoundGarden and Audioslave back in the 90s....and guess who he’s been working with? Yep...Timberland (of course)! Timbo’s produced his new album, ‘Scream’, set for release early this year. I heard Chris’ debut single ‘Part of Me’ a few days ago, and knew it was going to be huge! I think it sounds a bit ‘Prince-ish’ mixed with some Maroon 5 melodies...Unfortunately the video hasn’t been released yet, but as soon as it is...Hustle ‘Ard will bring it to you!

‘Part of Me (That Bitch)’

Skepta – Sunglasses At Night

As soon as I heard this track it took me, I’m feelin the effects in the video too.

Ron Browz – Jumpin

Ron Browz aka Ether boy who produced Poppin Campagne and Arab Money, has released the video 'Jumpin Out the Window' from the forthcoming album . The tracks big, but personally I’m getting a bit fed up with the auto-tune/vocoder sound. What do you think?

Chip Diddy Chip

I would have to say Chipmunk has got to be the UK's frontrunner in the next wave of M.C's/rappers. I've been feeling him from his debut single 'Who Are You’, then his epic freestyle on Westwood just cemented it for me. In between full time college, music promo, and studio time he has found the time to shoot and release his new video "Chip Diddy Chip". Keep doing you Chippy, your 'Hustlin Ard'!

Beyoncé Knowles - "America The Beautiful"

Beyoncé closes the "We Are One" Pre Inauguration Concert with a great rendition of "America The Beautiful".

How will you be celebrating on this monumental day?

Kidbass feat. Sincere - Goodgirls Love Rudeboys

We really should have posted this a while back, especially as me and a couple members of the team have been bubbling our heads to it. It’s Kidbase feat. Sincere infused with a Moloko sample that works really well. I’ve been feeling the house and electro sound for a hot minute now and over the next few months you guys will see to what extent. If you not partial, you’d better get used to it because 09 is the year of electro/house in both the US and UK.
