Decoding Ye's DONDA w/ @whereisko "Respectfully the most underwhelming listening experience, deffo suited to stages and cinemas." Featuring tweets from @thisizgrizzly @afs_inc_

A few months ago I was too tired to stay up and watch a listening party that I stumbled across and went to bed. Little did I know that it would be two months until I heard the actual album and how much of an ordeal it would be to actually sit and listen to it in its entirety. Is it me and my expectations, the way we consume or you? To be honest I feel like that has been a trend with every Kanye…

"Autobiography of a Nobody commemorates 20yrs in retail come August 2021 and features satirical songs I wrote and recorded during my time in the sector." - @whereisko #grime #music

Autobiography of a Nobody commemorates 20yrs in retail come August 2021 and features satirical songs I wrote and recorded during my time in the sector. All tracks were made between 2004-2012 and were produced by myself. The concept of the project was birthed in 2012 but it wasn’t until earlier this year when I was going through some kind of burnout and vlogging my way through it that I set myself…

"I'm grateful to have @Dipsartist @LowuSounds's Idle Hands because it has the elements of all my favourite genres blended into one masterpiece." -@whereisko #music #0800yofam

If someone asked me how I’d describe the journey of my mood through music artists or an album, I’d definitely nominate Idle Hands but more specifically Dips & Lo-Wu as a partnership because you’ve got explorative, journeyman soundscapes from Lo-Wu and Dips who has become somewhat of an internal soliloquy or the consciousness of the fleeting and reflective thoughts that live alongside our life…

Nutty P - Communic8 Until I heard this song I thought of #Drill was balaclavas, knives, warring factions of shotters and young men dressed in black wearing side bags and Air Max's. @mynameisnuttyp changed my outlook #neodrill

When I think of Drill music I tend to think of balaclavas, knives, warring factions of shotters and young men dressed in black wearing side bags and Air Max’s, I don’t think of ballads with electric guitar riffs and crooning. I didn’t think of bottomless mimosas with mini parasols on top or hor d’oeuvres at an evening soiree until I heard this track from Nutty P -mastermind chameleon of…

Shay D - Speaking In Tongues Expect head-top spinning bars, heartfelt introspection and vibes from @shaydrap. #music #hiphop

2021 has been a bit of a mad one but we finally get one of the most highly anticipated albums this year. It’s not even something I say lightly either because this rodeo from Shay D was different. We’re getting different production styles, different types of visuals, artwork and collaborations which had me wondering and equally not knowing what to expect. Obvs we’d get the bars, we’d get the…

Grizzly - I and I @thisizgrizzly celebrates Jamaican Independence Day and bridges the genres of rap, drill and grime. #music #drill #grime

I saw a tweet from Rigga Romez, Linch Linky, which gave an education that Jamaica is pretty much an architect of sound and culture which means that UK Music Culture owes a lot to us. https://twitter.com/RiggaRomez/status/1423733712060043265?s=20 A lot of us have known that for years but those that weren’t neceesarily in the know would never have known the history and significance of Jamaican…

WHTVRINNIT - Ep.056: Say it with your chest Project what your doing with confidence and conviction, don’t hide it.

Whatever it is that you love to do and you’re passionate about, own it and share it with people. Stop being shy and wear it on your chest.

Is the corporate world incapable of addressing I&D by diversifying their executive teams or will they continue to follow the performative trend of hiring people of color for these new ‘Inclusion & Diversity’ officer roles whilst sustaining a perpetual cycle of announcing initiatives void of action? Beware the performative gestures… Podcast: https://www.0800yofam.com/whtvrinnit

WHTVRINNIT – Ep.054: Is the Friends theme song a destructive self fulfilling prophesy?

Dwelling on the Friends theme song and how dark it is when reflecting on the jack in the box type realities of adult life.
