Yesterday on the 1xtra Breakfast show we had two of the UKs best up and coming comedians, Jason Lewis and Daniel Kaluuya on the show. Their impressions of Jay-Z, T-Pain, JLS and Giggs had the 1xtra studio in stitches.
Last week Ace and Vis went down to Mercston`s video shoot for his new track "Smooth" The video was shot in Kings Cross - north London. Here are a couple of shots from the evening's events. Above, of course we have a picture of the inevitable VIP club scene lol! And below is a picture of Wretch 32, Ghetts, Dollar, Vis and G Frsh all on set showing there support.
Thanks to the genius who is Online Al, you've been able to watch this on my video page for a few days. For those who haven't checked it yet - no excuse now. Witness an emcee at work:
Fresh from the release of the film "Le Donk & Scorzayzee", Nottingham's finest emcee (and one of the best we've ever produced in the UK) Scorzayzee warms up the waters for his long awaited debut album 'Peace To The Puzzle' (due out in Feb 2010) with the single "Luv Me" - this week's Jam Hot.
I can't remember ever hearing a more honest British HipHop record - Scorz really bares his soul on this and breaks down the story of why he disappeared from the game 5 years ago.
While we wait for his album proper to drop in Feb, he's put together a new free mixtape called "The Starter" that you can download for free from here.
It's been a massive year for dubstep and what better way to finish it off than with our very first live dubstep session courtesy of the Engine Earz Experiment - a live Daily Dose of Dubstep - they recorded it at the BBC's Maida Vale studios in London 75 years young this year - Radio 1's Nihal was very excited about it too and went down to check out the record - watch highlights and listen again in full by clicking on the picture below :-)

Jam and I love vintage clothes (I'd say just as much as the music we play on the show) and as Jam seems to regularly tweet pictures of my outfits, I thought I'd add a picture of my Tuesday look to the blog. Jam was rocking the geek sheek glasses (which he does so well) but today he went in with his old skool t-shirt...love it!
