Saturday Night Was Amazing!
The Croft, Bristol, Shakoom's 1st Birthday!
Stig n Syntax with support from Bellatrix and the Boxettes
Easily one of the best gig nights i have been to this year!


End of the night was feral, stage invasion on stig n syntax's set, crowd surfing Giant mosh pit...sweaty, sweaty, sweaty!
It was Great!!!!
I got a bit drunky Gin soaked so my camera work is not the best...but here are my videos from the night!....What a night!!!







Support was from Bellatrix and the boxettes was phenomenal, one of the boxettes was ill so a quick step in from Bristols own Beth Rowley saved the show!
With only 2 hours to practice i cant believe how perfect their performance was!
The girl has a voice to die for!
Bellatrix and the boxettes smashed it!
If you see them on a line up in the future make sure you get a ticket!
heres a video! woot! x







ps: Stig n Syntax have got new material out early next year ...keep ur ear to the ground you grubby lil deviants! x

MOVE!...JAI COMING THROUGH!

IF YOU DONT KNOW...GET TO KNOW!
JAI...Just An Identity..the girls got mad skills!
Two Thumb Fresh caught up with her this week ...



When did you find your voice?
Ermmm... I found my voice at about 3 and a half lol, No seriously.. Ive always sang and danced and talked and rhymed since i can remember. I started rapping seriously tho in 2006.

Who would you say are your 3 main influences?
Why you being stingey for ??.. 3 ... well.. I'd say Jadakiss, Jean Grae and Lauryn Hill

First I heard of you was through HERstory, tell us about the Jai & Diva spark message.

Ok well i dont know about Diva's message anymore as we no longer work together. But my message is ever changing. I just generally wanna share what goes on in my mind and whatever i see and feel comes out on a track usually.
I think its also very important to show the world that female rappers aint gotta conform to any specific image, we're human at the end of the day.

What have you got waiting in the pipeline that we should keep eyes out for?
Well my debut solo release came out on the 09/09/09 thats called ON MY JAI'S -The Prelude and you can get it on Itunes Last FM (list of stockists and links in my NOTES)
You can also download Jai & Diva Spark HERSTORY (for FREEE) http://www.datpiff.com/Jai_Diva_Spark_Herstory.m44055.html
as for new projects, you'll just have to wait and see.


What is the last album you bought?

I bought an album by an upcoming UK artist called VICTORY the albums called BLACK TO FRONT its HEAVY !

Who do you think is the most inspirational female in the game right now?
Ummmm ME ! naah im playin. Thats difficult.. Im seldom inspired by other females especially artists, i mean i like there tracks and stuff.. but when it comes to inspiration.. I normally find it in life and books.

What shows have you got coming up?
Im gonna be performing @ INN ON THE GREEN on 22nd NOV2009 8pm..

Next, Dj Vadim @ start the bus, show was lively and free! the best price!

He was acompanied by an emcee whos name escapes me, A Keyboard player and phenomenal singer Sabria Jade, who i cannot find a myspace for...bad times!

I tried to take video but it was far to rowdy where i was stood...but heres a video anyways..

Then there was Dubbledge and Kyza @ The Globe in Cardiff.

That show was worth more than the £6 i paid to get in, I made sure i got Dubbledge's 'ONE INCH PUNCH' which is sick, old skool beats with heavy rhymes...winner!!!

It's not out till the 10th November but you can pre order fromhttp://www.myspace.com/edgemuzic

so yeah i tried to get some video footage but again it was rowdy up at the front, but here is the video footage anyway!

and just in case you had your head up your batty and never seen this video...enjoy.

hahaha!

so moving on...

who knows about Etsy.com?

Well i didnt untill a few weeks ago and now im hooked!

Handmade things by independent businesses is something i fully support...

when those handmade things happen to be on the next level of amazing i end up emptying my account on fun things!!!

I bought a personalised necklace with the name of my new band on it from a seller on Esty called 'Superclovers'.

I also bought a matching 3 finger Ring that says POW!

DO YOU LIKE FISH STICKS?

Here is a pair of extremely gay Nike Air Yeezy Gay Fish. This pair is a sample pair created just for West right before he jumped into the ocean and discovered he was a gay fish. These shoes are wet and are not in 100% condition because they were worn in the water. You might have seen these in the latest episode of Southpark where West discovered that he was a gay fish.

FUNNY AS FUCK!!!

Swamp Meat - Lil nugget of Swamp GOLD!! Milestone, Sam Otis and Chattabox....Big in the swamp!!!

Bulletproof Funk, oh my! oh my! what a banger! Mylo, Sam Otis & Chalk mc, this is one of those tracks that i will be drinking rum and ginger to while I'm getting ready go out!! I cant wait to see this track performed live, its gonna go off!!!

Beat by Mr Monk
