Blackdown: LOEFAH INTERVIEW + Pitchfork column

[dubmugga]

Good stuff man...interested in hearing some of your stuff...is there any online anywhere?

dunno eh...

...unless someone has hosted some somewhere then, nah

we're hell scientists creating new strains, we're not hosts or carriers, we infect, dissect and monitor the victims for vital signs...

...once in the system we become free radicals

[blackdown]

well arguably that's true but you managed to be a lot clearer in the second part of your column. I'm not just being long for the sake of it, I'm genuinely interested - which beefs and which younger MCs did you have in mind?

there's been hundreds of beefs - jammer & skepta v Double O, Sniper E, Jookie Mundo, Flirta D etc. Bear Man v Footsie. specifics weren't important.

and with youngers, listen to how the new members of NASTY talked on Logan's show earlier this year - they're even angrier than before.

Niiice...still wouldn't mind getting hold of some of your tracks...just checked sumone's mix...any more in the offering?

[dubmugga]

yeah theres a few around Zefa, nothing on vinyl...

...hosting should be taken care off in a week or so

chur

apart from having a label, a gig, growing up around croydon surrounded by the developing scene and having access to people in the know about music who could actually do something with it...

...i think the parallels to Loefah are amazing

:shock:

Thanks for the support Martin!

Hearing peoples veiws on my progress gives me the push to carryon and improve, no matter wether good or bad.

Did u check the Klashnekoff interview on 1 extra? He's a musical prophet in my eyes.

And my man's sayin this Grime ting is gonna implode because of the amount of beef between the youngers. Im talking day-to-day kids are gettin smacked up for dubplate beef and all that ON THE ROADS (this is totally separate to the beef on the airwaves between the bigger people which is almost like sport (i.e. proper clashing))

Blessings

With the underground ting its all about the energy for me and that's it, the beats and the energy of the MCs. Once we get into artist territory I dont think Grime heads have got it for me

I jus love it in its raw state, on the pirates and vinyl releases.

But when the True Tiger EP drops I think it's gonna be important for Grime's commercial appeal- serious. Stanza'a brought together different strands of urban music but done it in a grime context and I think that's the way they're gonna cut-it as artists- by comin together with other 'urban' artists

Grime needs visionaries if it's gonna cross-over. But this will definitely mean a dilution of the sound I think.

But the underground iz still strong and that's all that matters for me.
