Nutty - Ft. whYJay, Dorris & Predz (Prod. By Dirtklod)

The Spotworks Recordings gang have been putting out some utter bangers right about now, what with Greef and Sin Seer releasing On Another Beat earlier this month and the North Manny link up North of The Compass last month, and now with Nutty featuring whYjay, Dorris and Predz. The beat is pure madness made simply to skank to while out of your mind! As if that wasn't enough three of Manchester's top Grime Mcs are spraying some of their best lyrics I'v heard in a while. This track is quite honestly my favourite thing since Snoopy and Anoyed put out Devil in My Mind. Not to mention the insane video to accompany it is a who's who of recording artists at Spotworks. Produced by the one and only Dirtklod.

Tap D - Tapped and What

From beginning to end Manchester's Tap D's stunning new release "Tapped and What" is an utter Hip Hop classic with features from the likes of Skanka, Geko, Ideal and more. After my first spin of "Tapped and What" my first impressions were that Tap D could fully push through to the mainstream with a deep flow filled with lyrics so hard they leave your ears feeling like you'v just been ten rounds with Tyson. The first "Hands on Deck" is an explosive way to start an album, considering its bodying fellow Manchester MC and Don't Flop organiser Chronicle.Hands on Deck is swiftly followed by the epic future Hip Hop anthem How You Feel, this track could easily be found in the mainstream with its easy to listen beat yet hood lyrics that can almost never be predicted! The levels are kept high through out "Tapped and What" with stand out tracks like Life In The Ghetto, Big Shit Ft. Skanka, My G Ft. Geko & Skanka and Run The Roads Ft. Skanka, but don't be fooled, each tracks could stand on its own as a single release. If he keeps putting out release like this Tap D is going to be the name on everyone's lips.

9/10
