Nice example of grime MCs, one being Toronto’s Tre Mission, battling. Check this for something kind of different from the norm.

Posted the MP3 a little while back. Still LOVE this track. Check this out: FIYA!!!!!
This dude has actually been featured on The Kitchen before. This is solid UK hip-hop vibes! Serious banger status. Definitely worth checking out….
BTW: I already posted this yesterday, follow me on twitter or tumblr to get the crack first.
I posted a video of this kid killin’ it on Tim Westwood on my tumblr a little while back. He’s from Scarborough in Toronto’s East End (aka where I used to dwell until I made the jump downtown) but he spits like a UK MC and is in fact apparently the only non-UK (non-London??) MC accepted in the grime scene. He’s already been on tour with Wiley and just finished an opening slot for Rae & Ghost’s headlining NXNE show last Sunday. This is the first video from his forthcoming mixtape album, a track featuring him going in over Jamie XX‘s steel drum-powered, ethereal-sounding “Far Nearer” track. An ode to lyricists everywhere with their pens and notebooks (Canadians know)?

I introduced this UK artist a couple months back. Here’s her latest attempt at an electro-rap banger. Y’all dig?
