New Mixtape: Chima Anya – Unresolved
And another UK hip hop ting!
I posted this practicing doctor-turned-MC from the UK’s excellent “Hey” video a while back. Now comes this new mixtape:
“Unfortunately so, I’d love to charge. I SHOULD charge. But it’s really not going to happen, is it?

Music Video: Sway – Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Keeping the UK vibes going I had to post this:
“Using the background music of Ghostface Killah’s “Mighty Healthy”, Sway gives the public a chance to fill in the blanks of classic well known Hip-Hop lines in this modern homage to the greats. With popular lyrics and a landmark/unforgettable instrumental the track is instantly familiar for anyone who’s loved Hip-Hop from the early days to the last few years and you can’t help but feel the need to shout out every last lyric when completing them.
Shot by Bubz (Dcypha Films) & directed By DJ Turkish the visual concept for this video is inspired by Bob Dylan’s classic “Subterranean Homesick Blues”.”
Coincidentally I had just referenced that same Dylan video to a friend of mine who I am helping do some fundraising for the documentary she’s in the process of making. Hers is just a still photo though.
Music Videos: Jamieson – Things I Learned / Foreign Exchange
“The London bred wordsmith returns with another visual entitled “Things I Learned” off his forthcoming EP I Came, I Saw Vol. II. The second installment from Jamieson’s EP series includes guest appearances by Sean Price, Joell Ortiz, and Sony recording artist, Sammy.”
Sentiment of the song is appreciated but the flow here is from from mind-blowing. Great visual though. Hit the jump for the “Foreign Exchange” video, his commentary on the illegal immigration issue. (more…)
What’s Going on in London? Student Protests and Lloyd Banks/Diddy UK Remixes….
