Too much happening with Grime this year for me to provide anything like a proper roundup.<\/p>\n

I can’t even say with any honesty that I’ve had a chance to properly check out everything I’ve bought or downloaded. Which is good – an embarrassment of riches instead of slim pickings.<\/p>\n

One of my resolutions for 2009 is to try and listen to stuff deeper, rather than amass a bigger and bigger backlog.<\/p>\n

Mixtapes<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of these are fully endorsed on the basis of great “killer to filler” ratio<\/em>:<\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Nasty Jack – Shotta Music<\/a><\/p>\n

2) Trim – Soulfood 3<\/a><\/p>\n

3) Wiley – Grimewave<\/a><\/p>\n

4) Jammer – Are You Dumb 3<\/a><\/p>\n

5) Dot Rotten – Young Dot RIP<\/a><\/p>\n

6) Tinchy Stryder – Cloud 9 EP<\/a><\/p>\n

7) Jammer – Are You Dumb 4<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of stuff bubbling under, but the seven above are the ones I keep coming back to again and again. Feel free to kick of a row about my choices and omissions in the comments boxes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vinyl<\/strong><\/p>\n

Honorary mention to Logan Sama’s Earth 616 label for keeping grime vinyl alive, but the crown this year goes to one label in my humble opinion:<\/em><\/p>\n

Silverlink feat Jammer and Badness – The Message is Love (No Hats No Hoods<\/a> 12″)<\/p>\n

Rude Kid – Are You Ready? (No Hats No Hoods<\/a> 12″)<\/p>\n

Ruff Sqwad – RSMD (No Hats No Hoods<\/a> 12″)<\/p>\n

Downloads<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just proper mixes and releases here, there are untold radio shows and other bits to get drowned in:<\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Eden + Grievous Angel – Grime in the Dancehall<\/a> (Blogariddims)<\/p>\n

Boy Better Know – Microphone Champion vol 1<\/a><\/p>\n
