ONE WAY TV | D'LYFA - ORION NEBULA Video

D'lyfa Reilly is back with this stunning visual for Orion Nebula. Not only is this the most relaxing track to ever come out of Manchester it is also one of my all time favourite tracks off one of my all time favourite releases ever. About time it got a video and I'v not been let down. #redIQniverse

ViiPER-No Talent Needed(Frenzy Diss)

R.I.P. Frenzy, you would be missed but ViiPER erased your name... This is diss is so hard it makes the Hulk look like Jammer.. If you don't know ViiPPER then I suggest you get to know before he bites your head off and spits it into drain. Just like he's done to Frenzy.

Deya - Xtra & Dorris Feat LK Video

About time this anthem from Manchester grime veterans Dorris, Xtra and LK got a video, and let me tell you its fucking sweet as ice-cream. I'v been blasting Deya for months now and I can honestly say the video does it justice . All three Mcs look eerily tapped playing with the camera angles and close up shots. I'v watched it three times in ten minuets now and I suggest you do the same!

Dubbul O - Spooky Caravan (Prod. Kydro) Video

Dubbul O is part of the awesome Mothership Connection who have been tearing apart the underground Manchester Hip Hop scene with there static live performances. This tune is fucking insane, the beat is next level and the lyrics are out of this world. The video itself is one of the best I'v seen in a long time. I love the all round trippy nature of it and all of its crazy shots! Also its filmed in my favourite location Antwerp Mansion. Enjoy :)

Define Roots - Diluted E.P. Promo

Define Roots have released this promo video for their forthcoming E.P. Diluted. The levels in this promo makes me think this E.P. is going to be a big release for 2012, the flow is heavy and the lyrics are heard. Take a look, its well worth it, I look forward to Diluted's release and will defiantly be pushing this E.P. Produced by Force'Of Habit.

Its out 16th May

Dorris & Sin Seer - Dub Skets Video

Dorris and Sin Seer are set to have a huge year in 2012. With an E.P. coming out soon and a possible clash you cannot miss these pairs name right now. This track is an utter Dubstep anthem that will rip up any rave in seconds, the bass is absolutely filthy with some sick drops combined with Dorris and Sin's lyrics it makes a great listen that Grime and Dubstep fans will love. I'm also loving the look of the video, makes me want to put my raving shoes on and get down for a good old fashioned SKANK!!!!

Flame - Oh No Video

Manchester Hip Hop Mc Flame has released an utter banger right here! I'm feeling Flame's flow and delivery, it hits hard and heavy. With interesting lyrics Oh No! is completed by the sick visuals within the video. I'm expecting big things from Flame and defiantly have him on my 2012 watch list.

Snoopy & Anoyed - Devil In My Mind (Remix) Video

Manchester Mcs Snoopy and Anoyed have teamed up to release this classic track. Produced by Yardman this remix is absolute FIRE, with Snoopy providing a catchy hook backed up by Anoyed's hard hitting street lyrics creating one of the best releases I'v heard in 2012. If you don't like this track you don't like Hip Hop. I hope to hear much of these pair in the future.

Briggzy - Toast To Rap Ft. Illatant Video

Briggzy brings us his latest video, Toast To Rap featuring fellow Misfit Music member Illatant, taken of his epic Gingerfication album this is the second track to be put onto video. The video is a sort of homage to Briggzy's music career so far in Hip Hop, featuring clips from his gig with Wu-Tang, images of his childhood and other memorable highlights for Briggzy. The video goes perfectly with track, which is about Briggzy's struggle. Toast To Rap is a great track that most fans will find a great listen, it also happens to be one of my favourite tracks to come out of the U.K. in a while. I'll toast to that.

Shakz - No Mic Needed Grime Freestyle Video

Shakz is a fifteen year old Grime Mc from Manchester, I don't know what the government is pumping into the water around Manchester but right now the youngers seem to be dominating the scene. Very rarely do I find Grime with a violent style appealing, normally the bars are simplistic and tend to be similar to many other MCs bars, but in this case the exact opposite is true. Shakz is a refreshing sound, he has a great flow and delivery, his lyrics seem to be much harder and relevant than your average road Mc. I hope to hear much more of Shakz in the future, expect big things from him.

You can follow him @ShakzMusic

KTS TV - Tempa Lyrical Freestyle Video

Manchester Hip Hop Mc Tempa Lyrical comes at use with a fresh new freestyle. Once again he comes with a unique style and a decent clear delivery. The lyrics to the freestyle are clever, political and meaningful. Tempa is set for big things this year and is definitely a heavy Mc.

Stripez - Hear Me (Limelight) Video

Stripez is a hip hop grime Mc from Manchester who has been Mcing for around five years, Hear Me video is Stripez's latest release. The track outstanding, it has a mainstream feel yet still keeps a true hip hop vibe. This is a hard task to achieve for most artists yet Stripez seems to be able to do it with ease. The video itself is something that I can defiantly imagine on most commercial music TV channels. Stripez is destined for big things in the future. Watch this space.

Stripez has a mixtape called "I 'Aint Even Started Yet" in progress.

Slay & Remdog - Ready For The War Video

Legendary Manchester grime MCs Slay and Remdog have teamed up with K1 to bring us an absolute banger. The video itself is a hood video with a Fifa twist. Ready for the War is a classic grime track that will get any fan of the genre hyped up to the max. If you thought modern grime lacked the fire the genre originally had than think again. Slay and Remdog flow perfectly and still bring the bite when they go in, and they go in hard!

Tap D - Talk To Me Video (Word On Road TV Freestyle)

Tap D is a Manchester grime Mc who has been spitting for around eight years, in the past he worked with artists such as Meany, Wrigz, Hypes and RIO. This is Tap D's lastest freestyle video, filmed by Word On Road TV, it has very street lyrics and a sense of real life for anyone on road. The track is of a high lyrical standard with alphabet bars that most grime fans will be able to appreciate. The actual hook is very memorable and gets stuck in your head. So far this is the best freestyle of 2012, Tap D has set the bar high for other MCs this year.

Look out for Sound the Hood Vol.2 An Autapbiography E.P. coming out soon.

Lady Killa - Beast Mode Video

Lady Killa is a Manchester grime Mc, she is in my personal opinion one of the strongest female grime MCs in the scene at the moment. This is the video to her track Beast Mode, the track itself is very strong and shows off Killa's lyrical talent, its a catchy track that will leave a memorably imprint on any grime fan. The video is full of interesting shots and pyrotechnics, it has some sick shots of Lady Killa clashing herself.  Lady Killa is indeed a beast. Take note female MCs, this is how its done.

Chris Leese - Every Body Hates Chris

Chris Leese is a long time hip hop Mc as well as Don't Flop Norths first battle rapper, he comes from Macc Town, he combines a mixture of strong lyrics with a comic style,  this is his debut album and what an album it is.The album is 16 tracks long and it features other MCs such as Louis Logic, Red Eye & Assa. Mixed in with all of the "Piss Hop," as Chris calls it,   are some strong emotional tracks that can really relate to. One of the most heartfelt tracks on the album is a song called The Pain which is a tale about a heroin user and his struggle in life, Chris's lyrical word play really stood out on this song. The title track is possible Chris's best track on the album, perhaps his carer, it perfectly combines comic lyrics with intellectual thinking creating a classic tune which can be appreciated across the hip hop community. Other stand out tracks include (Still) Better than You, a sequel track to Better than you, Class in Session, a crazy track where Chris takes the role of a school teacher and Writing My Wrongs. Overall this album finds a nice way to dance between comedy and serious Hip Hop, like all debut albums this has a few weak tracks but most of the tracks are superb, any underground Hip Hop fan should definitely own this album!

8/10
