M.I.A/ Diplo- Pop (Et Musique Pour Tous)This is old but I hadn't heard it till now- should have bought Piracy Funds Terrorism back in 2004 I guess. Big. Well fucking huge actually.
Dizzee Rascal- Bonkers (First Up) A radio rip of Dizzee's new single which (mark my words) will be top 5 by June. Saw him play the Armand Van Helden produced track back in early November at a gig in Liverpool. The crowd loved the commercial beats and Dizzee's strong hook.
Neither artists are at their best here but it's still a highly listenable tune. Apparently it's from the soundtrack to Fast & Furious.
A half finished chilled out track which has just leaked but was recorded during the American Gangster sessions- and apparently meant for a Diddy album. Twitter king Diddy has been hanging out with Arctic Monkey Matt Helders and James Ford/Simian Mobile Disco this weekend. And they've been recording.
Awesome to see Dizzee on Jonathan Ross- he was very eloquent and well funny. Who was the last young credible British artist on that chat show? The only similar I can think of is Girls Aloud or Lily Allen- but they're tabloid darlings. I literally spat my beer out when he joked about his mum stabbing him- but then I was a bit pissed.
