ENGLISH FRANK, JAJA SOZE, CRAZE 24, & B-MUS - They don't like us

One of the UK Hip Hop collaboration tracks of the year! B-Mus, English Frank, Jaja Soze, & Craze 24 all do their thing on this melodic, yet hard hitting production from Zee. The return of Craze 24 definitely deserves a mention as well. Craze has got UK Hip Hop classics under his belt, and he's back sounding sharp as ever in this esteemed company.

Kinetik (Grand Central) - Flying High Official Music Video

Brand New Video From Kinetik. After the sad news that Grand Central have decided to part ways, Kinetik is back just days later with a new video. This time it is for solo track 'Flying High', which is one of our personal favourites. 

The video is part of a competition MTV is currently running. In this competition, Kinetik goes up against a french artist called 'Sol Brova'. The winner will see a video commissioned and aired on MTV. Like a presidential election, votes are what count. Place your vote for Kinetik to win the MTV Brand New For 2012 competition now! http://brandnewunsigned.mtv.co.uk/brannubian


Also, don't forget to vote for which track on 'God Loves Grinders Vol2' you think Grand Central should choose to do for their very last Music Video. Visit: http://www.thisisgrandcentral.com to cast your Vote

Grand Central - God Loves Grinder Vol 2[Free Mixtape]

On Boxing day Grand Central gave UK Hip Hop fans some bitter, sweet news. 'God Loves Grinders Vol 2' was released for FREE download, (CLICK HERE To Get Your Copy Now!) but it came with the sad news that the duo have decided to go their separate ways! Mr Drastick & Kinetik have remained on good terms, and I'm sure we will see them work together again in the future, but the group Grand Central is no more. 2 Skinny Guys And A Blog would like to wish them both the best,  and thank them for the high volume of good music they produced while working together. We will of course continue to support and promote their individual music, so make sure you don't count either of these artists out!

Ghetts - Momentum [Free Mixtape]

New Free Mixtape from Ghetts released on Christmas day. CLICK HERE to listen and download your copy of Momentum now. The 19 track Mixtape sees Ghetts at his best on more than 1 occasion. The aggressive and highly lyrical approach, that we have come to expect from the East London artist, is prominent across the project. Some great production also contributes to make this a must have of 2011.

Jaja Soze - Tables Have Turned

A very powerful and moving piece of music, accompanied by an excellent black and white video, from UK Hip Hop veteran Jaja Soze. As always Jaja provides a real and gritty look into the streets of South London. Jaja has been putting in the work to promote his music, and his way of thinking, for many years now. This track definitely has to go down as one of his best.

Just P (BiG PSG) - My Dedication (Hip Hop) (Produced by Tritone)

A new video from an artist who has put in a lot of work in 2011. Just P, also known as BiG PSG, has put in a lot of hard graft with his music, as well as his company Black Budget, throughout the year.

Here is the latest official music video from his impending mixtape 'Just Call Me P'. The track is called 'My Dedication (Hip Hop)' and is really just a little dedication to the music he knows and loves. The video was recorded in the graveyard in St Margarets Church.

PIFF GANG - JIFF GANG

One of my favourite Music Videos of 2011! It is directed by Dexter Navy, and is for the 'Jiff Gang' track off the 'Piff Breaks & 808s' Mixtape available for FREE download.

Piff Gang have definitely made a big impact in the UK Hip Hop scene in 2011, and I'm sure there is plenty more to come from them in the new year.

Trapper Da Rapper - Get Gwop (Rap Parody)

The Hottest Artist In The Streets Right Now, Trapper Da Rapper From The Mean Slums Of Twik'Narm! He Stays Fly and Gets Gwop, he buses his gun and sells drugs with his Dons 'ona daily fam'.
Follow Trapper @ http://www.twitter.com/TrapperDaRapper

Trapper Da Rapper is a character created by 2 Skinny Guys And A Camera. This is not a diss to 'Road Rappers'! The character of Trapper Da Rapper highlights the fact that many young and confused MCs rap about a life that they have never lived. It is also a reminder to rappers that incriminate themselves in their music, that the police have heard of youtube!!

2 Skinny Guys And A Camera have nothing but respect for artists that portray life on streets, or in the drug game, as the harsh, gritty reality that it is.

Many Thanks To K-Nite 13 For Directing The Video

The Quaranteam EP

It's here people, the release that 2 Skinny Guys And A Blog have been eagerly anticipating. The Quaranteam Ep is out now, CLICK HERE to get your FREE download.

The Quaranteam consists of Loudmouth, Mentalist, Pyro Barz, K-Nite 13 & Skillit and the project is our first collective release. The EP has 8 tracks with Loudmouth and K-Nite sharing production duties with 4 tracks each. 

Each track on the EP represents great UK Hip Hop, as we have come to expect from all of these artists. My personal favourite though, would have to 'Down In The Streets 2011'. I can honestly say I was moved by that song as a piece of music, and would definitely rank it in my Top 10 UK Hip Hop tracks of all time.

LOGIC & LAST RESORT ft. KLASHNEKOFF & LOWKEY - 'TRUE TALK'

Another brand new video to promote 'True Talk' form Logic, Last Resort, and GlobalFaction. This time they team up with top UK Hip Hop artists, Klashnekoff and Lowkey.

More1 & Denz-ill - DJ Gone Exclusive

Two Young MCs that are making a mark in the UK Hip Hop scene with some exclusive bars on DJ Gone TV. More1 and Denz-ill are definitely artists to keep your eyes on. More1 in particular is an artist than 2 Skinny Guys And A Blog predict big things for in the not so distant future. His attention to detail when writing, and his workrate, are clearly starting to pay off.

The Four Owls - Burning Vapour (PROMO VISUAL)

New visual from The Four Owls. The Four Owls is made up of Verb T, Fliptrix, Leaf Dog, and BVA. Their brand new album is highly recommended by 2 Skinny Guys And A Blog, and we recently had a chance to see them perform it at 'Suspect Packages Live'. These 4 men are true Hip Hop heads, and they have a cohesion about them that I'm sure is going to serve them well in the near future.

Genesis Elijah - My Truth

A superb new track from Genesis Elijah. This has to be one of my favourite tracks, from undoubtably one of the UK's most talented and hard working MCs. The topic of conversation is his belief that his music should never be compromised as an artform. There is also a sample of a Ricky Gervais interview on the track which fits the topic perfectly.


To comment on #MyTruth tweet @GenesisElijah or find him on facebook.com/genesiselijahmusic

My Truth is a track taken off the forth coming Genesis Elijah EP 'Painkillers & Pilkington'

LOWKEY(ft. ADNAN AL-RADHI) - SOUNDTRACK TO THE STRUGGLE

This is another one of the videos Lowkey filmed with Global Faction while out the country. As to be expected from the MC and Activist, it is a gritty look at some of the circumstances people in poor countries face, as well as being a moving song and tribute to his friend Adnan Al-Radhi.


"Since this was your favourite track on the CD (apart from Cradle Of
Civilisation). It is only right that you are part of the video. You
are loved and missed by us all. Sleep well Adooni."

SUPAR NOVAR - "FALLING TO PIECES" (PROD. BY DEAD MAN WALKN)

F.L.I.P Life C.E.O Supar Novar drops another track and video. This time it's to promote his brand new mixtape 'Here I Am'. We've got nothing but respect for the work rate and talent Novar has. When you talk about artists that have the vision and intelligence to create their own fan base, you have to mention Supar Novar and F.L.I.P Life.

One take, in then out. Pure organic Hip Hop, taking it back to the essence. Presented by the Don of exceedingly good music, bigCakes. Beats dropped by Kwake and DJSnuff (Speaker's Corner Quartet/End Of The Weak). Sound on all BRR series recorded and mixed by GlobalFaction's 'Brotherman Dude' (VFW).

Grand Central (Mr Drastick & Kinetik) - 'S.W.A.G'

Another Music Video from hard working UK Hip Hop duo Grand Central. This time they approach the controversial subject of men dressing in a feminine way. Kinetik and Mr Drastick are two great lyricists in their own right, but together they seem to have a great cohesion that has lead them to put out consistently good music since they decided to pool their efforts.


"S.W.A.G" is taken off Grand Central's mix tape 'God Loves Grinders Vol.2' which will be dropping 2012.

K Koke - Im Back (Hood Video) Welcome Back

Roc Nation / Sony RCA artist K Koke, throws something for the streets after his 7 month jail sentence, I'm back (Welcome Back) Hood video!

K Koke is back with a vengeance! We have been waiting to see what was going to come from the Stonebridge Native since he was found not guilty of attempted murder after spending most of the year on remand. This track was definitely worth the wait! The beat is a real powerful head banger, and Koke does not disappoint with the lyrics either. You can see a clear progression in his skills from his early work, and he is no doubt one of the hottest MCs UK Hip Hop have to offer.
