Independent Artists

THERE'S A NEW TYPE OF ARTIST RIGHT NOW IN GREAT BRITAIN: THE INDEPENDENT, WON'T STOP 'TILL THEY GET IT UP TYPE.

FROM YOUNGSTERS LIKE N DUBBS AND CHIPMUNK WHO HAVE CARVED THEIR OWN NICHE WITH TONS OF YOUNG AND OLD FANS WHO LOVE A YOUNG INTELLECT, TO MORE GANGSTER ARTISTS LIKE GIGGS WHO CAUSED AN INTERNET FRENZY AND LITERALLY TOOK OVER THE WHOLE OF AIYA NAPPA THIS SUMMER.

AND MINATURE BALLYFACE WHO IS OFFICIALLY THE FIRST INDEPENDANT ARTIST TO PUT ELEVEN THOUSAND CD'S ON THE STREETS FOR A TASTER OF WHAT HE CAN DO.

THE SCENE IS LOOKING EXTREMELY HEALTHY WITH CLUB BANGERS FROM UP NORTH TAKING OVER THE WHOLE COUNTRY, TAKE T2 FOR EXAMPLE WITH THE HIT HEARTBROKEN WHICH IS PLAYING ALLOVER MIAMI, EUROPE, AND THE UK.

WILEY IS ALSO TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SOUND HIS SCENE ORIGINALLY CAME FROM WITH HIS LATEST HIT WEARING MY ROLEX.

BALLADS ARE ALSO ON FULL ROTATION WITH THE LIKES OF THE TOP TEN DEBUT BY DJ IRONIK STAY WITH ME. TINCHY STRYDER HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED WITH HIS HIT STRYDERMAN.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST THEM BOY BETTER KNOW BOYS WHO ARE TAKING THE PISS LITERALLY, SELLING EVERYTHING THEY CAN PUT THEIR NAMES ON. THIS IS IT.

HELLO U.K. WE AIN'T GOING NOWHERE...
