Greetings everyone It's been a while since I posted in here, although I still browse quietly. Anyway, I've created a new podcast/show called Talk Da Tings It's basically a platform to highlight, celebrate, and discuss reggae and dancehall music and culture, with a particular focus on the UK side of things. Interviews with artistes, people from all sides of the scene, our opinions, banter, relevant information and discussions on all aspects of the culture. Check it out, my team and I have been doing this for about 6-8 months now, still finding our feet. Support, constructive criticism and ideas welcome!

ELEMENTZ is a new club night celebrating the traditional elements of hip hop - deejaying & turntablism, MCs, graffiti, b-boys & b-girls, open mic, beatboxing – all knowledge under one roof. Planned as a quarterly event taking place throughout the year, the launch night takes place at Rhythm Factory, London on Thursday 26th April 2012. Each event will host some of the biggest established names on the scene, while also showcasing new emerging talent and representing hip hop culture in all its forms. Since the early days of the block parties in New York’s Bronx, hip hop has become a global phenomenon. A culture which has developed over the years representing all people irrespective of ethnic background, nationality, gender or religion. While Hip Hop Music has gone on to become a multi billion selling industry over the years, and has fragmented into various genres, the real spirit of hip hop culture remains within the various elements, practiced by those with an understanding of its principles. The events will reflect the true meaning of hip hop and takes it back to its roots – at its best live with all elements in full effect Resident DJ is London’s “1st Lady of Hip Hop” Sarah Love, recognized from her days performing at the city's renowned Kung Fu events through to her time presenting for MTV Base, BBC 1Xtra and being the only female dj to be nominated twice as "Best DJ" for a MOBO award.

Kilburn's Jamieson, now based in the South Bronx, NYC, follows up his tribute to his hometown "London Freestyle" with the new single & video "Ways to Get Ahead". Taken from the final instalment of his Mixtape Trilogy "I Came I Saw", the track chronicles the journey he's taken from his days as part of UK hip hop duo Twisted Thoughts with K.I.L.L.A.G.R.A.M. to his move over to the States and the work he's been putting in since arriving there in 2007. From the launch of his Foreign Exchange mixtape hosted by DJ Whoo Kid, he's enjoyed regular support from DJ Booth, XXL, 2 Dope Boys, This Is 50, Hip Hop Dx and a wide range of other key tastemakers across the country. Working with artists Joell Ortiz, Sean Price, Skyzoo and receiving co:signs from Yelawolf, RZA and B-Real, there's little doubt this London born & bred MC has been packing in a mountain of work, and "Ways To Get Ahead" documents the grind. The mixtape launches soon ahead of his brand new single "I Get Busy", set for international release in the Spring www.iamjamieson.com twitter @jamiesonmusic URBANELITE PROMOTIONS @urbanelitepr YOUTUBE SOUNDCLOUD http://www.soundclou...ys-to-get-ahead
