It's a collective of really inspirational, creative, wonderful people residing in Atlanta. I'm with some pretty esteemed, admired company over there, so I'm going to have to up the levels and be on my best behaviour. You'll find me posting on Lavish Life on London, the UK and what's good on our fair and beautiful Island... This blog is now going to become a more personal site about me, my views and opinions, possibly more "work" related. I'm putting together another project - so hold tight for that.

It's fantastic, seriously, this is the best representation of the culture of pirate radio, London and what we listen to.

Make sure you read that <a href="http://rinse.fm/index.php/features/battlestations">HERE</a><br /><br /><blockquote>The scene in Brixton, south London, is his current focus. “It’s at the very point where I can see it going somewhere else. At the minute they’re calling it Dubbage. It’s nice, like house but with more energy.” He has spotted so many trends you wouldn’t bet against him. “Most people will say the music comes from London, but we can break it down further. Like between Roman [Road, east London] and Isle of Dogs comes grime. Croydon is Dubstep. That’s the very beginnings, d’you know what I mean?” He says he can pinpoint a grime rapper’s locality by the style of his delivery, “I could break it down to Plaistow, Leyton, Hackney, Bow, straight away.”</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>Nick Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00764447557344803385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074697003791470632.post-61298749928492398812009-06-28T10:59:00.000-07:002009-06-28T11:00:23.663-07:00Major Lazer - 'Hold The Line'<object width="400" height="230"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4886369&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4886369&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="230"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/4886369">Major Lazer "Zumbie" ft.

From reading reports online it appears it hinges on a similar path to Vince and crew out in LA yet set in the Big Apple. With two industrious 20-somethings in New York City striving for success I'm looking forward to this, from what I've gathered it holds a slight context of sneaker obsession and skate culture. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkXxBOsBjPI/AAAAAAAAAmw/fKsppEdrASY/s1600-h/kid-cudi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkXxBOsBjPI/AAAAAAAAAmw/fKsppEdrASY/s400/kid-cudi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351948735624613106" /></a><br />Plus it stars Kid Cudi, now while he's been forced into the monolithic shadow of Drake in recent months, I've gone back to the mixtapes, not quite as excited as I was when he first burst onto the scene, but excitement nonetheless. Now I'm no longer engulfed but the swan song of hype that pretty much killed off Cudi for me, I can simply get back to the music. <br /><br />Check out this cameo of Cudi on stage with his co-star from How To Make It In America <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bryangreenberg">Bryan Greenberg</a>. It's a little different, but I think the vibe on this record compliments Cudi and his talent. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1ScLlHJrkDg&border=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1ScLlHJrkDg&border=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="349"></embed></object>Nick Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00764447557344803385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074697003791470632.post-88102479022643443182009-06-25T14:08:00.000-07:002009-06-25T14:55:04.177-07:00"I'm riding on my swangers and the drop a tinted up, I've got Kush in my blood"<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4LATneBj5Ls&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4LATneBj5Ls&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nbYLQovIca4&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nbYLQovIca4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Shout out to the <a href="http://theeducatedvillains.com/">Educated Villains</a> for educating me on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/traethatruth">Trae</a> and ABN.

Michael Owen is way past his best, and it seems his agent has resulted to a last resort. A branding pack on an aging professional without a club, demanding high-wages. I've never seen anything like this before. Thrown together on powerpoint, it looks very slap dash. Re-launching any individuals career is hard work, especially with the problems Michael has had, this is not a good start. Design can be used to really deliver and provide a clear and direct message. This is quite convoluted, is it a presentation on Owen the footballer or Owen the brand, his stock as either has rapidly declined. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkEjrSUBlbI/AAAAAAAAAmI/WHjIGaMcNbo/s1600-h/jimbowen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkEjrSUBlbI/AAAAAAAAAmI/WHjIGaMcNbo/s400/jimbowen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350597058850035122" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkEjrX6H7YI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/CGA9vpMmgbM/s1600-h/jimbowen1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkEjrX6H7YI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/CGA9vpMmgbM/s400/jimbowen1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350597060352011650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkEjrrDIIwI/AAAAAAAAAmY/kWGZsoQeFtk/s1600-h/jimbowen2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkEjrrDIIwI/AAAAAAAAAmY/kWGZsoQeFtk/s400/jimbowen2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350597065490047746" /></a><br /><br />Check the rest of the images at the conservative crap read <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1194209/MICHAEL-OWEN-BROCHURE-The-complete-32-page-agents-dossier-fallen-Newcastle-star-England-striker.html">Daily Mail</a><br /><br />We can't forget some of his classic moments. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yIqfqNw1fKo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yIqfqNw1fKo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Nick Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00764447557344803385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074697003791470632.post-46856139498789860142009-06-23T10:49:00.000-07:002009-06-23T11:02:49.445-07:00Mystro - 'Mess I Ever Had'<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkEYdFuns2I/AAAAAAAAAmA/wCBRr5qyu14/s1600-h/DiggiFDTee.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qRtSa8vGBWw/SkEYdFuns2I/AAAAAAAAAmA/wCBRr5qyu14/s400/DiggiFDTee.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350584720325849954" /></a><br />Mighty Mystro has always been known for his comical antics, I can't think of any other rapper in the UK who can actually do "funny" ... Mystro has always been able to make a crowd laugh as a great host of the classic Kung fu nights up in Camden Town. On this Dub for Shortee Blitz's forthcoming 'The Standard' mixtape which drops July 3rd, Mystro remixes Drake's 'Best I Ever Had' to great effect.
