Elucid "Bear Trapz"

I've had this sitting in the inbox for a days, thought I'd finally get it up on here...

This mini EP sees Elucid going in over a couple of Caspa and N-Type joints, offering a solid alternative to the dumbed-down lyrics over Dubstep tracks such as "Snoop Dogg Millionaire" or "Mad House", proving that there is room for progressive MC-ing within this scene...It's all about "Yum Yum"...

Xzibit Feat. U-N-I "So What" (Prod. D1)

Another leak off the forthcoming "Dubstep LA" mixtape, which I have to say is definitely better than that "Snoop Dogg Millionaire" crap...U-N-I flow fairly well, but it's Xzibit who steals the show with his delivery...D1 also comes through with a solid beat. Saying that, it's not something that'd be playing in years to come (even months, for that matter).

Get: Xzibit Feat. U-N-I "So What"

Whilst I have to laugh at the the pigeonholing ("Dub Hop"?! C'mon!), I am looking forward to hearing the finished mix (to be compiled by Plastician). I sincerely hope it's not a letdown....

On a side note, it's also good to see that DJ Nappy & RTD have also been acknowledged for the whole THUGSTEP movement too. Big ups!

Jay-Z "D.O.A." (Chase & Status Remix)

Is it me, or is this a let down?

Normally Chase & Status come correct with their remixes, and given the fact they're Dubstep is ridiculously sick (possibly better than they're D&B in some cases), you'd have thought that would deliver the goods on this one.

Instead, we're left with an average-sounding electronic Hip Hop beat, which doesn't compliment Jay's vocals at all...

Better luck next time, chaps...

Chase & Status Feat. Kano "Against All Odds" (Dubstep Remix)

Following on from their massive 2008 release of More Than Alot, Chase & Status are showing no signs of slowing down. Against All Odds has recently been released as a single, backed by Saxon. Whilst both tunes are big in their own right, I'm more excited about the remix pack.

Xample does his thing on the A Side, with a typically Jump-Up Drum & Bass offering, whilst on the flip, Chase & Status put their own track under the knife and give it the dubstep treatment. Watch out for the dubstep remix getting rinsed out nationwide - its definitely More Than Alot...
