Raw Talent! - Skinnyman - the man who can!

Yesterday LxEnts were here:

Where were you? This night was all about RAW Talent! and despite the low turnout, the vibe was nice and the network links were serious! All the performers did their thing, no doubt but we have to take our hats off (well we would if we were wearing one!) to Skinnyman and The Thirst!

LxEnts were first introduced to Skinnyman, years back via a BBC documentary about pirate radio stations (does anyone remember that programme? It was big!). At the time, no real impact was made. A couple years later, SK Vibemakers (Know Yourself Out Here) handed me a mixtape, whilst exiting Departure in Aldgate and there was a certain track that we couldn't get enough of! I'll Be Surprised by Skinnyman! and the rest, as they say, is history!

It's all been a bit quiet in the Skinnyman camp but yesterday we fell hard all over again! Playing some exclusive material, Skinnyman's unique story-telling ability alongside his hardcore rap flow was dynamite and had the crowd hanging on his every word. Controversial as ever, he voiced his views on the knife and gun crime wars terrorizing our streets and wasn't afraid to lay the blame firmly on the Governments door!

Last night was a big indication of what's to come from Skinnyman and the Mud Fam and we cannot wait for the next installment! Stay locked to LxEnts for the latest coz we are 'on dis ting!'.

...I KISSED A DOLL...that's just weird, right?

yep, you guessed it! A limited Katy Perry 'I kissed a girl' edition doll will be released next week. I thought you had to be some kind of legend or something to be immortalised in plastic but evidently this just ain't the case...thoughts???

Welcome to 140 Grime Street! - Hope you enjoy your stay!

After mucho anticipation and an amazing marketing campaign (Rize of the Robotz-we salute you!), 140 Grime Street is DROPPED!!!!!!! It's time for a return to the old skool people! Remember the days when owning an original hard copy of a cd was the lick and there was no talk of 'lending it out' until you had rinsed it and obtained all the information to track down said person if they took too long to bring it back?! that is what i'm talking about! GO BUY IT-ITS THE WAY FORWARD AND YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE! - STANDARD!!!

I'll EVEN list the tracks so you can see how much of a dodo (as in the animal, jeez!...) you would be NOT to buy it!

140 Grime St
Hustler
Paper
Hunting We Will Go Ft Ghetto
These Mcs Ft Skepta

Janelle Monae - Many Moons

...like a breath of fresh air...



LxEnts

Don't Cry!

Isn't it Ironik? LxEnts had a hunch that Ironik would blow as soon as we heard 'So Nice'.



The production had that 'je ne sais quoi' element to it. It was definately one of those tracks where you thought 'I can't quite put my finger on it but this guy's going places' type thing, and we were 100% correct! Love him or hate him, Ironik has achieved major success in such a short period of time, industry wise, and spreads a positive vibe through his music which is what everybody needs in these hard and trying times!

Fast forward to '08 and here we are proudly plugging his debut album 'No Point Wasting Tears'. For the UK industry to flourish, you have to go out and support! The album is out THIS MONDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER, available in all stores and all digital download. There will be no tears wasted if you do the right thing. We promise! ;)

Ahhh-PUSH...

Are you into indie, alternative & electro? You are? Really?

LxEnts presents...Visionary Underground

LxEnts presents...is a new segment focusing on new discoveries in the music biz through myspace/bookface, the old fashion gig a&r spotting or any other weird and wacky medium you can think of...

Today we PRESENT...'Visionary Underground


LxEnts discovered this band through myspace association and have been hooked ever since! LxEnts first heard, lead singer, Damion sing at a open mic night in South London many moons ago. Having a great ear for a great voice, we found him on myspace soon after and always checked in on his page from time to time and that's how we stumbled upon this lil gem! Damion had joined 'Visionary Underground'-result!

Visionary Underground consist of 5 members: FeelFree (DJ/Producer), CoCo (VJ/Visual Artist), Damion (Singer), Duane Flames (Rapper) and Dr Das (Live Base - Ex Asian Dub Foundation). LxEnts try to swerve the ole 'cliche' music genre descriptions which is why all we are going to say is listen here ...

I don't think we need to say anymore...actually we do...the myspace music player can only do so much, if it sounds this good already, imagine a LIVE performance??? You don't need to, imagine that is, because look what we found:

We don't think you need to be told twice!

LxEnts

Jelluzz - You should be!

LxEnts have a soft spot for Jelluzz...we were feeling this track, nuff!






He's got a new track and vid - 'Hold On'. check it out!








We like this too...thoughts????

Brummie Massive - It's Your Time!

LDN is obv where the party scene is at but we must admit, this night sounds alright, still!! LxEnts are slightly tempted to take a road trip to Birmingham, just so we can attend this Launch night tonight:

LxEnts

That's not his name...

Marvin (without the Martian) puzzles LxEnts. Why has this guy not blown yet? He's supported Akala, Lethal Bizzle,he's supporting DJ Yoda - Friday October 3rd (see what we did there Marv?), his live shows are on point, his lyrical content is clever, his delivery is simple yet effective, his video concepts are creative, he created 'grindie' - a fusion of grime and indie-we like that! and he's a nice guy! Don't believe us? Well check this out (We know its teeny tiny writing! Click on it and all shall become clear!):


Time to make things happen? Huh? Well you can start by purchasing the album 'Devil in the Distance' on itunes!!!! GO NOW PLEASE!

LxEnts

Flying without wings...

We, at LxEnts, have never had the pleasure of meeting Miss Adelaide Mackenzie in person but we still feel the love via all the good we have heard about this remarkable lady! Blessed with a beautiful voice (Adelaide will be singing @ Wembley Arena as support to Jazzie B for Culture 8 Olympic Way) and an even more beautiful heart, Adelaide also runs and hosts her own open mic showcase every 2nd Friday of the month.

The flyer is here:


...what more do you need to know? Go and support! - it could be the best decision you ever make!

Are your beats the baddass???? Put it to the test!

Picture the scenario. You're an up and coming producer but not just ANY up and coming producer, you are the hottest on the scene right now and can't feel the love! You spend most, if not all, of your life on myspace trying to holler at that one artist that could make that dream a reality but...nada!!! Don't worry, LxEnts have got your back! Diamond, the infamous Ragz 2 Riches producer who has worked alongside the likes of Kele Le Roc, Terri Walker and Gappy Ranks, wants YOU! If you think you're tracks are ready to take on the world, forward your 2 BEST INSTRUMENTALS along with:

*Full Name
*Contact Details (Telephone number)
*Bio

to noflawsdiamond@gmail.com

If you're beats are banging, one of the Ragz 2 Riches team will get back to you, if not...back to the mixing board!

Just do it!

That didn't take long hey?

Remedy has been running for quite a while now and we, at LxEnts, are not sure why it doesn't get shown as much love as OTHER (we are naming no names but you know who we mean!!!!!) live showcases!

It's free before 8pm - many others are not (even on the industry list), it not only showcases singers, MC's and musicians, it also showcases the talent of the producers striving to continue to push the music scene forward.

Go support, the best things in life are free (or very cheap at least! - £5 for the rest of the night? that's a bargain!)

Wi? Oh Wiley?

Dont get me wrong, the music industry is cut-throat! Industry heads are out to make a quick buck in a short time frame, mostly, at the cost of the artist! THIS is just DUMB though...why would you do this?

...and its all because of you...NE-YO - HAMMERSMITH APOLLO 22/9/08

2008 is officially 'The Year of the Gentleman' and Ne-yo made that crystal clear during his hour long set at the Hammersmith Apollo yesterday! The set consisted of simple drapes and equally simple lighting, 4 female dancers, full band and the man himself! Such a simplistic yet amazingly effective concoction gave a spell-binding show which celebrated the many beautiful diversities of being a woman and the true vunerability of a man!

He opened with 'So Sick' which I, at first, found odd but it was all part of the journey that we were undertaking with Ne-yo. From the first note of 'So Sick' to the last note of 'Closer', the entire auditorium was singing along with a lil two step here and there and this even included the tracks that the ghost-writer kindly pointed out (as if we didn't already know!) were written by him for the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce (a lil bad blood here, perhaps?? lol ;) ).

Ne-yo has his game on lock! He understands how to appeal to a mass audience and his incredible aura and sexuality on stage makes all the ladies want to be his 'Miss Independent, Sexy Love' for sure! WHEN he comes back - don't sleep - GO SEE!

In the meantime...WHAT A TRACK!
