An angry looking Merky Ace adopts a new style and goes in at Stay Fresh’s J1… also Merky briefly calls out another emcee, which you’ll have to hear to find out….

I know how rap fans stay, so I hope people understand this an emcee clash that will hopefully raise the profile of all involved and not be a battle of cities/towns.

More gas added to the furnace ahead of “Lord Of The Mics 3″, with Birmingham’s J1 from Stay Fresh crew dropping some lyrics aimed at younger Merky Ace ahead of their clash.

I wonder what Merky Ace has to say on this??

SGB performs a live PA of ‘Timmy Shine’ exclusively for DJ Gone. This is a well thought out track which deals with subject of domestic violence SUPPORT THIS!!

Fresh bars from Elro; the rapper made famous from the SBTV freestyle he did a while ago, this time no SBTV but he still has some rhymes in his arsenal to fire. Named “factory (Middle Class Hype Ting) freestyle”, obviously aware of what the general comments are, he’s still maintains doing his rap “thang”, check his bars and let us know what you’re saying.

Can’t exactly say I’m a fan of Elro’s raps but his name is out there and I cant disregard an artists’ grind especially if your making as much noise as this kid seams to right now for whatever reason. To be fair, his end to the freestyle was pretty funny.

Logan Sama’s ‘after hours’ continue, this time around we get rappers Jammin, Dimples, Durrty Skanx, Harry Shotta, Byron & Romo on the show.

Irish rap duo Abandoman which consists of an emcee and guitarist, grace the stage on ‘Radio 1′s Fun & Filth Cabaret’ and get the crowd to call out words whilst the emcee incorporates them into his rap. If you know much about hip hop you’ll know this freestyle art isn’t anything new, maybe scarce these days but not new.

Okay, there’s a lot of ‘Otis’ covers out there but this one from Scandal & Pyro Barz was worth picking out the bunch to be showcased. Check it.

DJ Semtex turns the tempo down and we get to see how Harry Shotta & Skibadee handle a slower beat alongside rapper Mic Righteous.

There’s not many emcees that can say they stay on par with Skibadee when rhyming in the same vicinity, luckily for Harry Shotta he can. Check the 2 emcees flowing rapid on BBC 1xtra with DJ Semtex.

Colours Miyagi in the 1xtra studio with Charlie Sloth to hit us with some ‘Fire in the booth’.

Manchester’s Shotty Horroh sprays some bars for Charlie Sloth’s ‘Fire in the booth’ for BBC 1xtra.

Mr Sayso, Kyza Smirnoff goes off with this freestyle for Streetwise TV.

Coventry’s Trojan sprays bars for Grime Daily North ‘Daily Duppy’ series. Trojan’s flow is pretty smooth still.

It’s nice when emcees switch up from their normal style and do something you might not expect and it come across heavy still, check Joe Black on the Ruff Squad produced ‘Havana’ instrumental.

Just listen to this SBTV F64 and try tell me Wretch 32 is not one of the hardest lyricist around I wont believe you, so glad we have an artist like this in the UK. Big!
