KA wants to encourage artists and those that enjoy Grime and Hip Hop music to focus on showing respect. With music being such an influence on people’s lives we feel it is important to show this message (from Tom, spokesperson for KA).

This is why, Mixtape Madness will be interviewing some of the hardest artists on scene: Ghetts, Tempa T, Lady Leshurr and Paigey Cakey.

We want YOU to form these interview questions – and this is where the competition begins…

“How do I enter?!” we hear you cry…

All you have to do is follow & tweet @MixtapeMadness and hashtag #AAAKA (Access All Areas KA) with a question for one of the artists above. You can enter as many times as you like but the closing date is Wednesday 15th June @ 4pm – so get tweeting!

We will award the person who tweets the best, most outrageously hilarious and thought-provoking question with a pair of concert tickets to a top secret gig featuring some of the most popular UK urban acts this summer. We will also be choosing a few more of our favourite questions to win a bunch of KA drinks and goodies.

Check out Manga’s latest mixtape:

Manga ‘Three Hundred and Sixty’

Those with virgin lungs and no Piff Gang bangers in their life. 420 or quoted by some as 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is the terminology initially used in United States prescribed to cannabis and today by the US calender is 4/20 so you can see how this is a logical way for Samson to say thanks !!!

420 features Rich Bueno, Jyager, Skinny Stef and Prince Paslow. So check out our interview with Samson Blackaveli:

Samson Blackaveli ‘420’

The north-west London rapper has previously released three mixtapes – Venting (2010), Reinventing (2011) and Progression (2012). The Distraction is his first E.P. Consisting of four tracks and five interludes, the E.P is a project with sees the artist looking into the issues surrounding that ever-trending topic of love and relationships.

Check out our most recent interview with Razor here, and follow him on Twitter @RazorArtist.

Watch out for his exclusive The Lift freestyle coming soon.

The Roll Deep/A list artist is showing that musically he is running circles around the game and has all angles covered from the mainstream to the underground. So I guess its rather fitting that he titled his mixtape Three Hundred and Sixty, which drops tomorrow.

Check out this freestyle he dropped

The mixtape starts with a kick up the back side. A motivational speech fades into a laid back melodic beat produced by Eric B. Then Manga’s words sway with the beat as he tells us his 360 thoughts, journey and thank you to the fans. The next track “Too Cool To Care”, produced by top producer Thomas Mellor is anything but laid back and has a bubbly grime tempo laced with typical Manga humor.

“Screaming out time is money but your sitting down wasting minutes”

Pirate Radio Hearts is definitely one for Grime historians as Kaze, Manga and Ghetts takes us down the cultural history of Grime and their contribution to it. Whereas Soundboy, produced by Double A provides a sick musical platform for Maxsta, Tre Mission and Manga to deliver an array of lyrical punches. The Patois sounding soundboy on the hook is only fitting for the track.

“Don’t need a wheel up to show I’m a ryder” Manga

Manga shows the versatility in his flow when he goes from merking a Skrillex dance riddem with Young Kye to sitting comfortably with Maxsta and A Dot on a horn blowing Hip Hop club banger, which has the posh British women on the chorus repeating “Never Let The Party Stop”.

He continues to illustrate this diversity on Love V Like, which is the 1st track on the mixtape that shows his emotional side. Since Fem Fel’s Eyes Closed album, I have personally been a massive fan of Dan Dare and he proved his worth with a beat that sounds amazing yet confusing and correlates with Manga’s line of thought towards the young lady.

“Now I am paying the price, no profit / Shouting at each other but not sticking to the topic / Then it all gets out of hand like we dropped it” Manga

Honestly, Mastermind is reload music and “Am I a mad man or mastermind / Am crazy or genius” the breaks and apostolic feel to this track really does compliment the exhibition of flows from Dot Rotten, Big Shizz and Manga.

“Even Picasso said art is a lie that shows us the truth” Manga

“If a girls gassed by a buzz, I’ll be next to shock her (shocka) like I’m next to Double S” Manga

The 2nd half of his mixtape has a more reflective feel to it. I guess Roll Deep and Grime vets Wiley and Flow Dan over this trance feeling track “Right Way” is no different but still has that aggressive edge to it and Roll Deep

Hudson Mowhawke produces an uplifting beautiful up beat yet soulful hip hop track, which Manga floats on by painting an image of a woman he is proud and wishes to sail away with. Definitely one for the lovers. This kindly takes us to Austin Millz’s soft guitar number “Honest”, which sees Manga bare all regarding his journey to success. He shows his humane attributes, such as fear, doubt, frustrations, limitations and who he is. He is anything but a “false prophet”, he s honest.

This is the most powerful track on the mixtape for me personally. There are timeless tracks in Manga’s catalouge and this is definitely one of them. Queens ft A Star produced by Eric G is really one hailing and showing an appreciation for “good girls” and challenges society’s recent celebration of “Bad Bitches”. The intro to this track is an innocent child who speaks of her aspiration to be a doctor and the outro to this track is conscious women who critically analyses misogyny. This contrast is amazing yet they both exemplify the importance of a woman valuing herself. Putting the message to one side, the way this track is compiled is a real work of art.

“Virgin Mary and Mary Madeleine shared the same name but not the same crown” (Manga needs to tell me this woman’s name)

“In this kingdom of concrete your the heartbeat… its like they think being cold hearted will get them further buts don’t forget its in your nature to nuture”

The mixtape ends with Airbourne, which ft Bartoven and Bruce Lee snippet feel sells the notion of positive thought and the importance of striving for our goals.

P Money “Thought he was hood till saw who I was, now he’s a sweater”

P Money “I aint qualified to be teaching history/ one punch will teach him about history/ they want to know my fighting background/ Come work it out, fat Mystery/ I will hit you, make you go down in history/ I don’t mean make you a legend, I will come to your history lesson/ (Bloow) you’ll go down in history “

Yungen dropped Topic Of Discussion and Twitter hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Yungen’s debut Play Dirty mixtape is very impressive. Fresh original beats and a very personal mixtape from Yungen

Yungen “Dropped out my dad because he didn’t see the vision, all he could see was prison”

Yungen “My favourite younger he got stabbed in my bits/ An if he died, fam I promised I would have quit/ on my mums life I would have rid, put one in his wig/ would made sure someone’s mum would have lost there kid/ but he is here so there is hope for us/ When the doctor saved him, he saved both of us”

Representing Ghana – ATUMPAN live
Representing Nigeria – WERAY ENT live
Representing London – DJs MANGNO & OyinboY

FREE ENTRY!!!

Saturday April 13th 9pm -3am
Big Chill House
257 – 259 Pentonville Rd, Kings Cross
BRUK OUT FACEBOOK EVENTS PAGE

ATUMPAN – Possibly the biggest star in Ghana right now, with over a million hits on his video for ‘The Thing,’ –

Atumpan is coming to perform a live PA for us. The last gig he played was at the O2, sold out and cost round 30 quid a ticket… this is, needless to say, gonna be a roadblock. A one off chance to see one of Afrobeats’ hottest new stars in an intimate club setting, for free…!

Support comes from WERAY ENT, fast rising stars of UK Afrobeats. They’ll be performing their hype grime/ afrobeatsa hybrid ‘Ching Chang Wallah’ alongside new heater ‘Masquerade’ and more. They’ve been heavily supported on 1Xtra and Choice, and having racked up over 50,000 hits on the Ching Chang Wallah video, it looks like their going to have a massive 2013….

Your DJs are, as ever, Mangno and Nasty McQuaid ( tonight going under the name of OyinboY… )
Expect bashment, afrobeats, RnB, house, hip hop, and general dancefloor madness.

The second track on the mixtape, Feds on my Case explains itself in the name and the hard-hitting bars define the message in the song:

Feds on my case tryna bag me again / Feds in my lane got me paranoid

The song has got another message in it and its about fake friends snitching:

Everyones a G until a body gets dropped and a yout starts snitchin’

Mover also speaks on his close-knit circle:

On my hands I can count all the real G’s left

I remember sends out a clear message that money is the motive; the first line stating ‘I know ma hearts on the money’ and further on in the track he drops the lines ‘Them man are lookin pissed there, I’m wearing what they wore to the rave as my gym wear’ and ‘If he knew how much my trousers cost, he wouldn’t talk to me about scrilla in that Ralphy top’.

Major HMP Freestyle and Mover’s cover of Hometown follow. Many UK artists have done this cover and in my opinion Mover is up there with the best bunch. He speaks the difficulties with hustling along in the UK music industry:

They see me in the vids and think its rose and sweet, but every other day we gota roll with the heat

He also states how the police are trying to lock up his whole camp, and that they have at least 20 of his friends in jail.

Although the majority if the songs on the mixtape are solo, Mover has hooked up with a healthy amount of artists inclusing songs such as Goodman Move ft Don E, Cheeko and Daff’ and Time to Waste ft Kemo, which speaks on the area the artists live in. Mover and Kemo talk about things you can expect in the hood: ‘I’m in it to survive, you’re in it for the fashion’, suggesting that too many younger people are getting into the hood life because other people are in it whereas he’s in it because he has to be. Another line about the hood is ‘I’m talking bout the hard days, youngers getting shifted for the class A’.

Only You ft Tilly Rae is a song for the females and is about women staying loyal to their man. Understand ft Trix is a song about the struggle he goes through, trying to get them to understand what he’s been through in his life. Slipping ft Daff Slugs is self explanatory; the title explains itself and its about not wanting to get caught clipping in the hood. Finally Money Comes Fast ft Kemo, Enzo, Fatal, Turbo and G28 is self explanatory and is all about money, from making money on the roads to showing off their money in the clubs through clothes and popping bottles.

This is the first I have heard of the East London rapper and I can truthfully say I rate him and think he has a lot of talent. His flow, his content and his delivery are all on point and the instrumentals he uses are perfect for the content on each different track. I strongly suggest you have a listen to this mixtape and take in the raw talent from Mover and his supporting artists.
