Fstar TV - Jus Micc

Fuck off, what's this? Not another Manchester Grime Mc with huge bars that will rip your face off is it? Jus Micc is yet another Mc blasting his way into the scene with his hard flow and  sick delivery. This video sets the standards for the rest of the people trying to break into the scene. Jus Micc is sick and I recommend keeping a look out for him in the future.

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!!!!

Big On Road TV - JNG (Part 2) Freestyle

Every video I watch of JNG he seems to make a hundred steps forward in the right direction. His flow is cold and his delivery is hard, he has all the making to dominate the Manchester Grime scene. With clever lyrics he's slowly developing a well deserved hype! Watch out for more of him in the future.

Fstar TV - K.D & Creeper Freestyle

Fstar has release a great freestyle here with two of Manchester's most underrated Grime Mcs K.D and Creeper. K.D drops some hard bars and Creeper does the same. Keep a look out for these pair as I'm sure they are about to blow up!

Str8 Gz vs Invasion Alert

Whos The Boss has set up a clash between Manchester's Str8 Gz and Birmingham's Invasion Alert, in my opinion its no contest, with Shifty announced to spin Sox and Don Dyno to spin Jaykay it looks all to easy. Don Dyno has released his send for Invasion and it is a killer. In just two minutes and thirty-one seconds Don merks every member of Invasion. This is set to be a big clash, I'm backing Str8 Gz all day long. #fuckinvasion

Misfit Music - Button5 Album

So Manchester Hip Hop super group Misfit Music have released their new album Button5. Misfit Music members include Demz, Illatant, Notes, Kamo, Rick Charles and Briggzy. Button5 is almost a Mafia concept album, which is not a bad thing as it adds a unique 20s gangster feel to it, due to the mafia style in the skits, which I don't heard very often in Hip Hop releases. Misfit Music bring a level of swagger I'v not seen in a record for a long time, tracks like Get Em, Gentlemen's Club and So Crazy are all heavy tracks that will rip up the club. Symbol is an interesting track lyrically as its themed around superheroes, providing a great listen. My favourite track is Its Salford all down to its banging instrumental and cocky lyrics. Overall this album is a great listen and Manchester Hip Hop head will appreciate, throw your Ms in the air!

7/10

Beef Report: Shocka's Reply To Magiic

After Magiic's send to Shocka for no showing at their Words Are Weapons clash Shocka has released a reply.Its got some heavy bars which have may have reached the level Magiic set with his send. In typical Shocka style the track switches instrumental showing he has plenty of bars for war and is hungry. Although the diss is aimed mainly at Magiic there is also a bar that calls out Explicit's name as well, so I wonder if Explicit will now jump into the beef? Anyway this is a great reply and I look forward to Magiic's reply!

No Mic Needed TV - CDot Grime Freestyle

Manchester's CDot is utter fire in this video. His bars are dark and his delivery is hard! With a clear North Manchester sound CDot is representing the scene in the best way possible. If you don't know about CDot then all you have to do is watch a few freestyle videos and I guarantee you wont forget him in a hurry.

UV.UK - #CypherSeason - CDot, Sweeney & WhyJay

JHEEZZEEE these guys go in! This is one of the best cyphers I'v heard all year. With each Mc dropping some heavy bars this cypher is defiantly showcasing some of Manchester's hardest Grime artists. CDot, Sweeney and WhyJay are all destroying the scene right now and to ignore them is just stupid. This is the new school of Grime, fuck London, Manchester is where Grime is at right now.

No Mic Needed TV - Sweeney Grime Freestyle

Sweeney is an upcoming Manchester Grime Mc who has been ripping the scene apart with some heavy freestyle videos. His flow and delivery is clear yet keeps an interesting speed combined with bars that are unique and fresh. In my opinion Sweeney is going to rip the scene in to pieces so keep a look out for his E.P. coming out this year.

Stand Up North's 2012 Manchester Mc Hot List

As its a few months into 2012 and several Mcs are starting to announce projects lined up for the year I'v decided to write a 2012 Manchester Mc hot list. I'm expecting big things from Manchester this year but these artists have participially caught my eye recently. So without further to do here we go:

10. At number ten we have grime artists Creeper, he has an E.P. in the works which I'm sure will be a great release. With his previous tracks being well felt in the Grime scene I'm sure Creeper will be well received within the scene.

Like him of Facebook here:http://www.facebook.com/Creepermc or follow him @creepermcr

9. Coming in at number nine we have Don't Flop battle rapper/long time grime Mc, Blizzard, with an E.P, Mixtape and album planned you can expect BIG things from this cocky 17 year old. Don't underestimate him because he will collapse your brain with his bars.

8. Number eight is Hip Hop group Red IQ comprising of D'Lyfa Reilly, Bo'nidle and C Aye Monk. After a great year last year I hope to see a lot more of these guys. They regular play shows, I have never seen a bad set from Red IQ and I try and see them as much as I can. Make sure you see them live so you can fully appreciate them.

7. Hip Hop collective Misfit Music makes number seven simply for their outstanding Button5 album. Misfit Music is made up by Briggzy, Illatant, Kamo, Noted, Demz and Rick Charles. I highly recommend Misfit Music and look forward to what all artists have planed for 2012.

6. After his clash on Lord Of The Mics I'm sure Hypes will have big plans this year. With a heavy flow and hard hitting lyrics Hypes has confirmed himself as one of Manchester's best Grime Mcs and after LOTMs he will defiantly be remembered in Grime history, what happens next is down to him. I would wish him good luck but Hypes doesn't need luck, he has talent!

You can find more about Hypes on his website here:http://www.officialhypes.com/ or follow him @ManchesterHypes

5. I found it hard to pick between these two so I decided they both deserve number five, so its Grime artists Dorris & Xtra. After Less Gass More Work Dorris and Xtra stepped their game up. With both artists working on solo material 2012 is set to be a huge year. I can honestly say I have never heard a bad track from either of these pair.

4. Already having started the year opening for Jedi Mind Tricks The Natural Curriculum are set to have a huge year! The live performances I'v witnessed from these guys have been insane. The Natural Curriculum is made up excellent artists that together make a unique modern blend of Hip Hop. If you haven't heard TNC I highly recommend seeing them live. They have also been confirmed for Croatia's Soundwave festival so get yourself down to sunny Croatia!

Hear more of TNC live. They are so underground you wont find a Twitter or Facebook page, a few tracks are on Youtube but now much.

3. Sin Seer clocks in at number three. Sin Seer is a great Hip Hop artist who has recently branched out into Grime working with such artist as Dorris, Xtra and Lady Killa. I literately cannot wait for what Sin drops this year, with out a doubt it will be an instant classic. Keep your eyes pealed. I am.

2. The legendary Grime Mc Shifty made a relatively unnoticed return into the scene last year, with a few videos he crept back in gracefully. So far he's made a few more videos with Str8Gz members that have gone down a storm in the scene. I hope Shifty regains the hype he previously had before his car accident.

1. I think only one artist deserves the number one spot, and that belongs to Meany. With the long awaited Henrys Spine finally confirmed for release the whole of Manchester better be ready, Meany's hard hitting street poetry is sure to mean Henrys Spine will be a classic release that will undoubtedly leave all completion behind.

Traumatic - 100 Fire Bars (Part 2)

Manchester Grime Mc Traumatic has released his 100 Fire Bars part 2 and fire isn't even the word! Traumatic brings a heavy flow with deep lyrics that has a harder punch that right hook from Bruce Lee, if you don't know Traumatic I'v got a feeling he will be blowing the Manchester scene away soon.. Keep your eyes pealed!
