DOWNLOAD


Here we have a mash-up coming courtesy of London's The Heatwave who have been providing some huge riddims of late, most notably a huge collaboration with Warrior Queen entitled "Things Change" released on Soul Jazz, as well as giving the bashment remix treatment to Rubi Dan's massive tune with bassline producer DJ Q "Walk & Wine." This time they are back at it, remixing Wiley's tune of the summer "Wearing My Rolex" and overlapping some vocals from dancehall top shotta Beenie Man. Expect more big things to come from the Heatwave crew in 2008 and be sure to check out their August 2008 e-newsletter.

Also, check out their recent mix for ResonanceFM HERE.

Wiley- Summertime video



You can Download the Crookers remix of 'Summertime' HERE

Yo check it out I came across this mix when a friend of mine gave it to me. It's from 1998, before the new millenia! This is a live recording off Rude FM and it's a wikkid old skool jungle set from Dj Target wit's MC's Eksman, Herbzie, and Wiley just flexin over all the tracks. These flows are so heavy they flooded the studio! Noah had to build an arc he couldn't handle it.

'ave a listen these guys truly are world class MC's. SALUTE!

the Boy Better Know crew consists of UK MCs Skepta & his brother JME, Eski-beat label founder WIley, Frisco, Shorty and DJ Maximus. At the forefront of the Grime movement, the Boy Better Know crew continues to put out hit material in 2008 and prove that Grime isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Check out their latest mixtape, put together by the group's DJ Maximus as well as their most recent show on Rinse.fm.

also be sure to check out Skepta's big single (and dance move) at the moment "Rolex Sweep."
