NEW VIDEO: Kano, Fatman Scoop and Busy Signal

I am very excited about this next video that I am posting up on UrbanVoice UK.  One of my favourite artists Kano has teamed up with Fatman Scoop and Busy Signal to produce a heavyweight bashment style track and Kano definitely goes in hard showing that he has not lost his ability to flow well on a track.  Kano is no stranger to collaborations with bashment artists having already worked with Aidonia and Vybz Kartel.  This track 'Wine de Best' is already sending the clubs crazy and I guess as the lyrics suggest girls in the club will want to show off who can 'wine de best'.
Will this collaboration with Fatman Scoop give Kano some well deserved recognition in the US? I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

I hope you like this track as much as I do.  Here is the official video for 'Wine de Best' featuring Kano, Fatman Scoop and Busy Signal.

MOBO Awards Winners List

The MOBO Awards took place on Wednesday earlier this week.  UrbanVoice UK had earlier posted who it thought will and should deserve to win.  Click here to view this post.

Here is a list of the MOBO Awards 2011 Winners along with some of my personal opinions.

Best UK Act in association with Capital FM
Jessie J - WINNER!
No surprise here it's in association with Capital FM - personally Adele should have won this because of her huge success worldwide.  Adele is really flying the flag for Britain at the moment and you will hear her album playing where ever you go in Europe. Oh well, Congratulations to Jessie J.

Best Newcomer in association with Lebara Mobile – voted for by Facebook
Jessie J - WINNER!
I would have liked to see Wretch 32 to win this but Jessie J does also deserve this award.


Best UK Hip Hop/Grime Act
Tinie Tempah - WINNER!
As I predicted and thank god! Congratulations to Tinie Tempah!


Best Video
Tinchy Stryder & Dappy 'Spaceship' - WINNER!
I'm glad that Jessie J didn't win this award.  I am happy to see it go to the hard working Tinchy Stryder and Dappy.


Best International Act
Rihanna - WINNER!
Yep, ok, fine - she has a lot of fans out there!


Best Song In association with PRS for Music
Jessie J - 'Do It Like A Dude' - WINNER!
I guess this category was only ever between Jessie J and Adele.  'Do It Like A Dude' was a big track at the beginning of the year and Jessie J did shake up the British music scene when this first came out.  However, a lot people I know are disagreeing with her winning this award and are saying that she's all hype and doesn't deserve all the recognition. What do think?

Best Album
Jessie J - Who You Are - WINNER!
I'm not entirely convinced that this award went to the right person.  I really like Tinie Tempah's album 'Disc-Overy' and Katy B's album 'On A Mission' as I think it's intelligent and refreshing but I guess she's too ordinary in comparison or doesn't attract the same kind of media attention, right?!

Best UK R&B/Soul Act
Adele WINNER!
Yep, well deserved!

Best Reggae
Alborosie - WINNER!

Best Jazz Act
Kairos 4tet - WINNER!

Best African Act
Wizkid - WINNER!

Best Gospel Act
Triple O - WINNER!

Outstanding Contribution to Music
Boyz II Men
Well deserved! Such a talented group.

Konan & Krept - Otis

A You Tube sensational over night with over 2 millions views here is the hilarious video remake of Jay Z and Kanye West's 'Otis'.  This could give Rebecca Black's 'Friday' a run for its money - I'll let the video do the talking.

Akala Spitting Fire in the Booth

The face of T4's street dance summer advert Akala (Ms Dynamite's lil bro) is here and spitting fire in the booth.  What do you think - is Akala spitting hard bars and knowledge?  Or is he just preaching and no one wants to hear it?

MOBO Awards Nominations List

The MOBO Awards nominations launch party took place earlier this week in London.  I can't wait for the real awards ceremony on 5th October, we have such a wealth of British artists at the moment.  No doubt I will have a running commentary on the night with who's wearing and winning what.

UrbanVoice UK's X-Factor Auditions

Right, I am no expert on the who's the next Leona Lewis or the next Chris Brown but I like to help out my fellow UK music artists.

Here is a couple of British vocalists hoping to make it big with their vocal talents.  The first video shown below is of DavidB a male vocalist from Manchester.  Second up, is the gorgeous female vocalist Morgan Munroe from Leicester, who has featured on UrbanVoice UK before.

I want to hear your opinion on these two young talents.  Would they get your vote on the X-factor?

NEW VIDEO: MC Tigz - Gangster Remix (Produced By ZDot)

With the more light-hearted summer tracks out at the moment I've been missing the grimier tunes recently but I've got something new for you right here on UrbanVoice UK.  MC Tigz, a grime MC from Lewisham, London, and his first time on UrbanVoice UK, goes in hard spitting on the Gangster remix produced by ZDot.

Mashing up the beat hard here's MC Tigz, check it out below - if you like it just hit that 'like' button.  This has to be my track of the week and for that reason it's also going in the UVUK Playlist.
