Song of the Day: Massacre -MyNature

MyNature

Today’s song is Massacre by MYNATURE (pronounced Miniature).

This south-east Londoner realised he was destined to be a rap star whilst serving a six-year prison sentence – and around this time a new wave of UK rappers such as DIZZEE RASCAL, CHIPMUNK, WILEY and TINCHY STRYDER were tearing up the charts. But it was TINIE TEMPAH, who was practically a neighbour, inspired this hip hop upriser to grab a piece of the action.

Now released from jail, MYNATURE was ready to put his dream into action. He released a mixtape called Ballyface and went on to work with different producers – but struck gold when he met Efexx, producer from Unstoppable Music Group.  In no time he produced a 15-track mixtape called It’s In My Nature, featuring Smiler and Dot Rotten. However his second mixtape, The Beginning, was the first release. The 15 track production featured ‘MYNATURE rapping over existing music’. The Beginning, which took a WEEK to produce, is described as ‘his introduction to the world.’

Well here’s another introduction…have a listen to Massacre – what you think? (answers below please!) If you’re feeling this track, then check out his SoundCloud page.

Gig Highlights: Keely & Co Exposure – Soul Sessions.

Last night I had the utmost pleasure of attending the Keely & Co exposure event at London’s Rich Mix. The event showcase Britain’s most promising stars.

Hip-hop upriser DELLY J definitely caught my attention, as he raise the roof with his track, Rock This Joint – Check it out!

This guy kept on rocking the joint, with his easy- cruising and inspirational track, Dream Big.

The night ended on a high with UK Voice contestant TREVOR FRANCIS. The super smooth performer was a backing singer for array of big acts including P.DIDDY, MARIAH CAREY, JLS, TINIE TEMPAH and GLADYS KNIGHT. Last night, he proved that he was more than a backing singer with his out-of-sight performance – don’t you dare leave this post until you listen to this guy!
