My Top 5 Upcoming Grime Releases

[ 5 ] Newham Generals – Generally Speaking (Dirtee Stank)
After seeing D Double E at FWD vs Rinse at The End and rinsing D Double E Vol 1 all I can say is this album should be well worth the years we’ve been waiting for it. First single – Head Get Mangled – is saying a lot for potential mainstream pickup as well, not to mention the Dizzee links.

[ 4 ] Nocturnal – Nocstrumentals (Nite Knights)
I love a good vinyl instro release, but you get a shitload more tracks on a cd. Nocturnal’s beats are large. Pity its a UKRecordshop.com exclusive for now but I can wait til it hits the real shops.

[ 3 ] Wiley – Race Against Time
This is supposed to be Wiley’s answer to his last album See Clear Now which was criticized by many in the scene for being too watered down and commercial. If his recent dubs in the war between him and Durrty Goodz are anything to go by then we can expect big things, but then somehow Wiley always lets us down. Could this be the one?

[ 2 ] Wiley/Maniac/J Sweet – Instrumental EPs (Earth 616)
I’ve grouped these as one becuase we don’t know a lot about them yet other than they’re at the press now and will be released through feb. I’m guessing that Wiley beat will be on there. More Maniac releases is only a good thing as well because his tunes are straight fire.

[ 1 ] Tempz – Next Hype (NHNH)
Did you listen to that tune? Do it now. If you didn’t just smash your house up then you’re a robot. ROBOT! Pure hype. Also check this
