Before I crack out my customary breakdown of the year, here's a couple of new things that are blowing the speakers round our way.
Goodbye Gully/Gaza....Hello....Gully/Gaza.
Yeah, Vybz and Mavado managed to put their differences aside and let bygones be bygones. But now the clash baton seems to have been passed to two young guns, by the names of Stacious (Gully) and Lisa Hype (Gaza). I know, yawn.
Lisa Hype (above with Vybz Kartel and Gaza Indu) has had her photo all over the internet of her doing something a little rude to some dude, a la Paris Hilton, and newby on the Gully scene, Stacious, got in there to rip it out of Hype (though she claims her song entitled 'Head' was not about Lisa at all, just a little coinkydink that they both had fellatio on the brain then).
And then.....blam, here begins a new feud, a to-ing and fro-ing of relatively boring diss songs. At least it is a bit of a change for it to be two women, maybe we'll be subject to a bit less gun talk. Here's to hoping they don't 'blossom' into Jamaica's Foxy Brown and Lil Kim. Anyway, the latest in Lisa Hype's rebukes is 'Gully dutty p***y gyal'. I wouldn't normally post something like this, but 1) it's quite funny and 2) it's a pretty great tune. Warning: it is VERY rude.
Lisa Hype - 'Gully dutty....'
I could never be your woman
Wiley has jumped on the old 90s bandwagon, in a remake of White Town's 'Your Woman' that's just got the uk funky / garage treatment from Solo. I admit, I do love it. Bit of a shame that they didn't use more of the strings from the original. Still top dollar for lyrics though - like his description of his lady's house: 'air freshener, wild orchid'. Pure class. Glade should really get the grime artists in, cos contrary to popular belief spawned from the title of their dutty genre, they would actually rather a fresh, fragrant room to relax in.

Boops!
I thought there would probably be a tidal wave in Steely re-makes after his untimely passing. Shane Brown has decided to take the Boops riddim for his tribute to the great man. It's got 3 Busy voicings on it. Need I say any more?
