Now that’s what we call talent; Kymberley Kennedy’s ‘What the Funk’ Mixtape

kennedyBeing an all round entertainer means writing your own music, mixing it and just be simply incredible. We get the impression that too many artists label themselves too quickly take credit for all these the qualities above and fail miserably in being current and fresh;

But not this lady: UK based Kimberley Kennedy does it all. She’s a singer songwriter, producer and mixer producing some pretty nifty stuff. First introduced to the public last year via ‘The Kym Possible’ mixtape, it was not long before she was receiving rave reviews online and significant radio support (Trevor Nelson, Shawn Campbell to name a few).

And looks like she’s set to do it all over again with the brand new mixtape ‘What The Funk’ which is totally sublime if you ask us. It’s a mixture of amazing vocals, great beats, dubstep, all mixed brilliant with some pure classics. You name it and its there! Make sure you listen to it below and grab it for free, while you can.

And there’s more to come; Details of a forthcoming EP and live dates are coming soon. We are excited!

Fantasea is here! Azealia Banks’ free EP: download here

Harlem based Azealia Banks has been changing the current landscape of Hip Hop with her addictive mix of rap and dance club melodies since first single ’212′ surfaced end of last year.

In September her first album, ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’  is to be released. Yet that’s not stopping this talented lady from releasing her latest EP ‘Fantasea’ today.  It’s one of the great assets of Azealia, she’s not afraid to share new music with her fans. And a clever trick from her as well to get her music out there for people to get acquainted with her.

So what can you expect from Fantasea as an EP. We would say ‘Fantasea’ is actually much more an actual cd then an EP. Giving away 19 tracks for free, is not nothing and rather unusual for any artist these days.  Not to mention the incredible high standard of tracks like ‘Fierce’, ‘Atlantis’ (which is very similar to 212′) and ‘Fantasea’. Banks has this infectious natural way of mixing two styles in a fun way, and come up with an upbeat collection of tracks, perfect to 1) kick off a great night out 2) go absolutely mental on the dance floor and last but not least 3) chill out on after a great night out. It’s hard to pick favourites because each individual track, stands out on its own.  It’s unique, individual, and ultra-creative! The EP also features previous free downloads ‘F*** Up The Fun’, ‘Jumanji’ and ‘Nathan’ ft Styles P.

Fans will be happy to know that Azealia is giving the full EP away for free,  By doing so not only ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’  has to be the hip hop album of the year but it also sets  the expectations for her album very high.

The singer took to Twitter last night to mention that the ‘next stop is the album’. An exact date for ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ has not been released yet.  Banks recently released the video for ‘Van Vogue’ taken from her first EP ’1991′ which also includes the smash single ’212′ and ‘Liquorice’.

One to Watch: Misha B ”Why Hello World” Mix-tape

Today is a very very special day for one particular X Factor participant and her fans. The last week we’ve been bombarded with new singles by Aiden Grimshaw and Paije Richardson but this lady is the act we’ve all been waiting for ; It’s Misha B.

The singer, who just missed out on the  X Factor final in the 2011 season, is releasing her very first EP later today called ”Why Hello World”. We knew already what a talented singer and act Misha B is, but based on the mixtape which surfaced on the Manchester-bred entertainer’s soundcloud page yesterday, this is going to be immense!

The mixtape is a combination of new Misha songs in a huge mash up with hits of the biggest R&B acts of all times such as TLC, Beyonce, Usher and Lil’Wayne.  Misha raps and sings like she owns the songs. Her rendition of ‘Rolling in the deep’, as performed on the X Factor and  originally by Adele, is another highlight proving what a class act this girl is! The new songs, which unfortunately at the moment haven’t been named, are masterpieces and set the bar high for a humble vocalist who’s unique in her kind and is without a doubt the one name to be remembered coming from the X Factor of all times.

The Misha B mix tape, can be downloaded for free here in return for your email address.Not to miss. Goooo Get it right now!!!
