D Double E "Street FIghter Riddim" (Music VIdeo)

Easily the biggest Grime tune of 2010. With an extra verse added, as well as some cheeky Street Fighter impressions (had to take out the original samples due to copyright, I assume), this has been smashing up raves all over the UK. Big up Swerve & Newham Generals!

Clipse x LA Leakers "Got It For Leaks" (Mixtape)

For those not in the know, the LA Leakers do a series of "audio boigraphy" mixtapes with certain artists, which is basically a look behind the scenes of what went on making certain records. With this project, they sat down with the Clipse and they gave the history on some of their biggest records.

It would have dope to have seen tracks such as The Funeral or Chinese New Year on there, but kudos for including Footsteps in the final tracklisting... That tune was slept on, in my opinion...

Caspa "Back For The First Time" (Video)

Caspa's back with what could be regarded as the summer Dubstep anthem. Released next month on his own Sub Soldiers imprint, and consisting of an epic trance-like synth (backed with Caspa's trademark growling bass) there's no doubt that it'll be tearing up dancefloors and radio sets throughout the rest of this year.

Admittedly, it may sound a tad formulaic, but on a loud system this bangs...

Whilst my taste in music is really vaired, I eat, breathe and sleep Hip Hop music, so it's great to see that that a piece of Hip Hop history like this has been immortalised on DVD.
