James B — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:08:05 +0000

On Tuesday 22nd November the Notting Hill Arts Club welcomes a fresh mid week addition to wash your post weekend comedown away and it’s quite rightly called Paradise!

Running twice a month, the launch heralds a new night with an ethos of ‘if it’s good we’ll play it’ mashing up everything from hip-hop and indie to our favourite bass sounds. November is headed up by the Dirty Canvas and No Hats No Hoods top dog, Reecha, bringing his usual blend of grime instrumentals, deeper dubstep and forward thinking bass bombs. He’s joined by residents representing the fast rising Audio Doughnuts label and Paradise regular Wheela. At just £3 ’till 3am, we can’t think of a better Tuesday night in LDN (swear down) so if you’re West, this is you. Get involved!

Stylah – ‘Them Boys’ feat Memphis Bleek and Young Safi

James Rompani — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:27:37 +0000

Stylah is a Hip Hop and grime artist from South East London. Formerly a member of the underground collective Poisonous Poets, over the past few years through his best selling mix CDs and high profile guest appearances Stylah has established himself as an artist who can hold his own and even steal the spotlight from the greats.

The long awaited new album ‘Treading Water’ is an in depth, lyrically perfect, cinematic journey through one of the best song writing talents to emerge in the homegrown hip hop scene in years. The songs are diverse, the production is flawless and Stylah’s style is undeniably original. The leak single ‘Killa’ featuring Smiler is an ideal introduction anthem, appearing early on the LP, and showing exactly why there is so much hype around the emcee. The incredible ‘Devils’ and ‘Childhood Sweetheart’ show Sty’s ability to convey tales in his songs, while the massive Memphis Bleek [JAY Z’s right hand man] and Young Safi featuring ‘Them Boys’ is a hip-hop banger that the fans have been waiting for.

Release date 22nd November
