Youngers: Trailer
Can't speak too soon, but this looks like something a teenager might watch. Like how with Skins, they might have had actual teenagers writing this script.
It's early to call it, but think E4's Youngers could be rather good.
Yes Bro
Those krazy kids at lolsome blog, It's Pretty Real, have just re-released their very popular Broschino long-sleeved t-s.
A unisex t that costs a mere £25, cop yours from here.

A-Trak Ft. Jim Jones, Juicy J: Pee Test
It just felt a bit harsh to write 'Piss Test' in the headline. Plus, it's 11.30am on a Tuesday morning as well, so...
Teaming up with quite a lot of people inc. Flatbush Zombies and his homeboys Flosstradamus, Canadian mixmaster-turnt label owner A-Trak even got Dame Dash to do a cameo in the video.

A$AP Meets Mr. Porter
We already know he's a pretty mother, and it's no surprise that the fashion crowd think the same too.
Mr Porter, website par excellence invited Rocky to rifle through their closets and here's the outcome. The influential online store and the Fashion Killa got all dressed up in Martin Maison Margiela as well as Rocky's oft-namechecked faves, Raf Simons and Rick Owens.
Mr Porter, website par excellence invited Rocky to rifle through their closets and here's the outcome. The influential online store and the Fashion Killa got all dressed up in Martin Maison Margiela as well as Rocky's oft-namechecked faves, Raf Simons and Rick Owens.
"At the age of eight, I started getting into fashion, brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica and Ralph Lauren," Rocky told Mr. Porter. "But in 2005 I started wearing John Richmond jeans. I was into Prada and Dolce & Gabbana at the time and that's why I started to wear tight jeans, because I wanted to be a model. I started to do freelance work for Calvin Klein so I was slim and it just stuck."

Rasals Ft. Pro Green: Fire Blaze (Remix)
East London's finest foursome enlist east London's tallest for a remix of their newest track.

We love this!

Frank Ocean: Eyes Like Sky
An unreleased one from Channel Orange, Franky Boy gets his acoustic guitar on with this smoochy number.
We say smoochy, but it's actually a bit dark. Or weird. It's about people seeing blue and green people driving blue and green cars. Well, you wouldn't expect anything less from Mr. Ocean, would you?
Justin Timberlake: Mirrors
Don't know about anyone else, but we're OBSESSED with JT's new one. Shirt and Tie we could leave or take, but Mirrors?
Wowzers.
Here's the former curly-topped one performing the tune on German TV.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist: Trailer
It's perhaps not entirely obvious yet just how brilliant an actor Riz Ahmed is. If you haven't seen 4 Lions, of Shifty slap yourself. Seriously.
Increasingly making his mark on Hollywoodtown, we're sure it won't be long before the South Londoner will be making acceptance speeches and taking power meetings with, like, Ari Gold in Soho House (if he's not already).
In his latest release, Riz stars alongside hard-hitters Kiefer Sutherland, Kate Hudson and Liev Schreiber in a political thriller of epic proportions. Riz plays a Pakistani born Princeton graduate who is a big shot on Wall Street, who is pushed to the limits by his adopted American homeland in the wake of 9/11.
Directed by Salaam Bombay's lenswoman Mira Nair, true to form, this looks like another interesting project from Riz, that will challenge audiences and Hollywoodland alike.
Odd Future: SS Collection
Those rascals Odd Future may not be mega-million selling artists (well, aprt from Frank, perhaps), but one thing that does sell well is their merch. They even have their own store in LA. We know, because we went there!
The collective show no signs of slowing down, with the new season of tombstone and donut based socks, t's, hoodies ready to drop.
Cop your socks etc., from the OF Store

Duke Dumont Ft AME: Need You (100)
Looking to be a sure-fire hit, the Duke and A*M*E have smashed it with his delicious house track. Almost as good as the tune is this brilliant video.
We know videos without the actual musicians can be boring, but this one's really good. Really!
Need You (100%) is out 31 March.
Time For: Luke Monaghan
A good friend of ours, Luke is fast becoming one of the UK's most prominent video directors.
With Flatbush Zombies and A$AP already under his belt, earlier this month, Luke travelled to Detroit to film White Noise for Disclosure, possibly the hottest duo on the planet right now. Apart from perhaps AlunaGeorge, who, guess what, also feature on the single. Double double whammy. Quadruple whammmy in fact.
Check out the amazing video for White Noise and read below as Luke explains the making of it.
How
did you get involved in directing White Noise?
I pitched on the video as is the normal protocol
for directors. I also spoke to Disclosure's manager Sam, a while ago, about
shooting in Detroit. He was set on the idea of shooting there before White
Noise had even been made. Then I came up with the narrative and the idea around
a guy that works looking after these amazing abandoned buildings, then he
reclaims them, setting up speakers and going wild in these amazing spaces.
What's
the video's concept and how does it relate to the tune?
I wanted the dancer to not be a typical dancer,
when we were casting we saw all different types of people. We needed somebody
special, with a story, someone who had lived the role. We luckily found him, a
legendary dancer from the Hardcore Detroit crew, called Kafani. His dancing
style was perfect with the track, intense but also floaty and melodic in
places, and a real House dancer.
What
sort of things inspired you, creatively?
My main inspiration for this was an incredible
documentary called 'Searching For Sugarman'. I took the profile walking shots
straight from that documentary, it's brilliant. Also, concept wise it was
important, because it's the story of a guy who is inherently special, but lives
a normal life. Kafani stands out from these bleak landscapes and lights them
up.
What
was the toughest aspect of shooting the video?
The weather, it was freezing. I caught the flu
halfway through the shoot. The whole crew was then infected, some people
couldn't get their flight back and were throwing up in the toilets. Troopers.
What's
next for The Monaghan?
Working on the pilot for my TV series, it's a
mockumentary on the music industry. It's interesting and hopefully mildly
funny. I hope to work on some more music videos in the next few months, but you
have to pick the right things to work on. After working with A$AP Rocky and
Disclosure on my last videos, the next people need to be amazing oto. I'm doing
some work with Tinie Tempah at the moment. And want to work with my bros
Flatbush Zombies on their new stuff.

Time For: Miguel
Seeing as he just dropped the video for his super-fine new single, Candles In The Sun, here's a very tiny excert from an upcoming chat with the Grammy winning, San Pedro resident.
We are huge, big, massive fans of Miguel. Oh yes we are.
According to your song, 'How many drinks' would it take to…
(Laughs) Oh no.
Oh yes. Eva Mendes?
Oh my god. Well,
for her, it wouldn’t take any drinks. Zero drinks.
Rosanne Barr?
The comedian? I
don’t think there’s any number of drinks. I'm sorry. She’s not my taste.
The Queen?
Could I not go to
jail for that? Isn’t that, like, treason. I mean, it’s historical thing to do, but… You know that moment in Boomerang where Marcus is at the new owner's
house and she’s coercing him with the sexy lingerie? I suppose I would feel like him in
that scene, like ‘I guess I kind have to’.
Based on the album, Kaleidoscope Dream, what's been your wildest night out
in recent memory?
I love those, wild nights. But I
never started forgetting things until recently. I’ve done things and then I’m like ‘I did that, really?’ I’m not the
blackout guy. I’m the guy who would normally tell everybody else what they
did. But recently there’s been a couple of nights like that that have been really, really great nights, but I can’t precisely exactly what happened. I just
remember the feeling. That’s where [the song] The Thrill came from. Last year we were at
BET with Wale and we won best collaboration and that night was crazy. We went to Mark Pitt's
afterparty and it was also his birthday party, so it was like the perfect storm; everything was already there.
Every one of my friends was with me and we were in my home town so procuring any
type of party ‘favour’ (laughs) was tremendously easy so… I didn't sleep that night, no. I slept the next
morning.
Based on the album Part 2, how DO you d'o a
girl like drugs'?
Not sparingly. (Nods wisely)
What's the toughest thing about being a singer?
(Long pause) Sometimes it's the things in-between being an artist, like being a business-man. There’s times
when you’re clearly one or the other; sometimes it’s purely artist-mode, like
when I’m on stage. You came here to see me do just that otherwise I’d be
cheating you. On the other hand, there are times I have to remove all of that
and think from a big picture, be logical, take an unemotional point of view. I’ve
learned to be better at that but it’s completely different, the polar opposite of
being an artist. And then there’s the stuff in-between where I have to do both.
That’s the hardest bit, that’s the bit I hate. 'You’re neither hot nor warm,
you’re lukewarm and I spit you out'. But that’s part of being an artist and if that's the worst part, well… I've done worst things. Like, I was an extended car warranty car saleman.
That’s like, 'we’re going to trick you into giving us your information and
you’re not going to get a quote, you’re going to get a phone call, and not only
once, but we’ll badger you until you take us off your list'. It doesn’t make for
happy people. I could sell you extended car warranty though, I was damn good!
What three albums should everyone own?
Prince's, Purple
Rain. I hate to be cliché and although it’s a soundtrack, as a body of work,
it’s perfect. Ready To Die by Biggie and any Beatles album... I’ll say Sergeant
Pepper.
Most shocking
thing you've done or seen on tour?
One of the funniest things I’ve seen, in the middle of performing Sure Thing, was two
women get upset. One takes a picture in front of the other one and this causes
tension in-between two couples. So I’m singing and out of the corner of my eye, I
see two women with big, huge wigs on full-out beating each other. Their
boyfriends jump in, and everyone’s fighting, the whole foursome are going at it. I go over to them and sing at them
as they get carried out. All that’s left is weave all over the floor. I didn’t
know my music inspired so much anger!
The amazing Kaleidoscope Dream is out now.
Time For: MckNasty
Preparing to release his solo material this year, the 29 year-old's talents are a bit mind-boggling. i-D recently caught him on camera doing his signature DJ set - involving live drums and pads that are set to play songs in sequence, it's really something to watch.
We had a quick chat with Mr. McKenzie to find out why he drums upright, how he got his break and the toughest thing about his job.
My first gig drumming was with...
Daniel Bedingfield. Yeah, he was the first. It was
straight out of school at 15 or 16 years-old.
The most fun I’ve had as a drummer is…
With
Tinie. That was a strong, emotion, vibe-y relationship. Being around the same
age, listening to the same kind of music... we’re just connected.
I stand up when I play because...
I went away to Europe for two
years on tour and when I came back home, all of the young drummers were
sounding very different. Drumming had evolved into something that I wasn’t
aware of. It kind of freaked me out a bit. I thought ’I need to stand up and
change the whole vibe’. The drumming/ DJing is quite technical,
there’s quite a few things to it all. The long and short of it is that I’ve got
the songs that people are familiar with,or songs that I’ve done or remixed, cut up, on my pads, and I place them over 6 pads and I trigger them off. That it’s
basically but there’s a lot more to it. There’s a lot of preparation.
My influences include…
I grew up playing gospel and
jazz bands in school and I did steel pan, so there’s Caribbean influence. I
really love Coldplay and Mumford and Sons and then I love Meek Mill. It’s a
broad thing.
I want people to be like ‘That’s MckNasty’
Watch Me Beat My Drums. It’s says a lot.
It’s revolutionary. It says what I intend to do, it says a lot about me as a
musician but it shows my ability as a singer. I suppose drumming isn’t always
seen as a melodic instrument so to try and evoke some melodic vibe in there
that’s distinctly mine. I play other people’s tunes when I’m DJing so I want
people to be like ‘That’s MckNasty’.
All 9 of my siblings are involved with music, but...
It’s still the same family set-up. The more everyone gets into what
they’re doing, the more they might be absent, plus we have families and partners. It’s not the
same now as waking up on Christmas Day and being together. But we don’t sit round
and talk about record deals! We all share the same passion and love it.
Do I have plans to work with my brother...
Maybe. At some
point. Tinie and Lab together? That would be epic.
The toughest past of my job is that...
I’m a bit of risk taker so
everything is quite tough. To do this, to do MckNasty and come away from what
I’ve known and what I’ve done and something I have a love for... to come away from that and take this
jump, that’s the biggest risk so far. But I don’t see it as a risk, I see it as a
jump and a leap to what I should be. When you’re touring with people, it’s not
on you. But now it’s just me; it’s hardcore.
Tinie and Lab together? That would be epic.
The most shocking thing I've seen on tour is...
Onstage and we had these
moving risers and the keyboard risers fell down during the show. It's like, ‘Do we stop?
Do we carry on’? The same thing happened to Natasha [Bedingfield] at the Scala. She came out,
doing the catwalk, and the drop was… I wanted to help her, she’s so lovely. But we
carried on playing. She got back up and carried on. Superstar.
The mixtape 12.12.12 is available from here

Jetta: Hear Me Now
Liverpool singer and songwriter Jetta has already made her mark with her amazing track Start A Riot, which we featured back in November.
Jetta recently performed this little number for i-D online and we thought we should share it. Just Jetta, a guitar, an amp and a random street in South London is all was needed.
Love the voice, love the lyrics, love Jetta's whole style.
We had a quick chat with the former Paloma Faith and Cee-Lo backing singer about her mix and match musicality.
The
best song I’ve written so far is…
Start A Riot. I’ve only released that so
far, so I want to keep the rest a surprise for the live shows.
I’d
describe my sound as…
Raw, cavernous, soulful and
industrial because I like to mess around with the sound of real instruments and
make them distinctive.
My
career highlight to date is…
Making the Start A Riot video because it I got to
make it in Liverpool and London with all my friends and family. I co-directed
it and it involved everyone I love. I wrote the song with a brilliant producer
called Jim Eliot. (M.I.A). It was a very natural collaboration.
I’d
love to work with…
Andre 3000. I love him. He’s
brilliant.
I
would describe my style as…
Mix and match. It’s
similar to my music; crossing over has always been what I’m about. I like to
mix High Street with vintage and top end.
Someone
else who might do well in 2013 is…
Macklemore.
JME: If You Don't Know

Lazy Oaf Bring The Cali Lifestyle To The Forefront
Since the sun has decided to grace us with its presence today, we have got a little excited about our upcoming two, possibly three - at a squeeze - days of sunshine. The first thing that we need to do of course is make sure we're looking good for those 72 hours and Lazy Oaf have got exactly what you need, with the addition of their iconic patterns to funky cotton shorts and shirts, not forgetting the ladies too who see a burst of colour added to the unique and equally crazy prints in the capsule 2013 collection.
Usher and Diplo Hook Up Again On New Track Missin
After their previous absolute banger 'Climax', it's going to be pretty hard to beat but new track 'Missin' might just be a grower. Usher is still on his falsetto vibe and we kind of like him like that, will probably have to give this one a few more listens but we're willing to give it a chance.

Justin and Jay (Finally) Release Video For Suit & Tie
What happens when two ridiculously talented and business minded folk link up... laughter, lots of laughter and money in the bank, lots of it. With a tour about to take place, that Grammy appearance where Jay Z went from sipping brandy in his seat (breaking the rules) to joining Justin on stage, an upcoming BRIT Awards set and oh yeah the fact that the song suddenly appeared online and almost straight away went to number one proves that the pair are basically winning. Like on a big scale, so if you haters could just fall back and watch the video below that would be great, thanks!
Ryan Gosling Joins Stellar Cast In Another Drive Type Flick
Ryan Gosling has a bit of a habit of playing the mysterious auto obsessed stunt driving guy so naturally he plays the lead in the latest motorbike crime flick, 'The Place Beyond The Pines'. With bank robberies, babies arriving out of the blue and police chases you can expect a little more than 'Drive', especially considering the cast which features Bradley Cooper, Rose Byrne, Eva Mendes and Ray Liotta. Catch the film out in cinemas very soon.
Skepta Drops An Emotional Vid For Valentine's Day
Skepta wanted to let everyone know that even if you don't have a Valentine's Day plan in action, out there, somewhere, you could be somebody's everything. Check out the latest video to drop from BBK's head honcho's ridiculously good 'Blacklisted' release. Happy Valentine's Day folks hang on in there there's always next year!!!
Grime Knows How To Do Valentine's Day Too
You don't have to get super soppy just because it's Valentine's Day, as Elijah & Skilliam prove with the mix of grime and R&B below. You can catch the Rinse DJ's celebrating the 3rd birthday of Butterz next week on 23rd February to be precise over at Cable in London. Special guests are expected to line up alongside the forward thinking grime fans and the likes of Swindle, Joker, Flava D, Champion, Dark E Freaker, Sticky, Spooky... the list is long and sick so get involved.
Kanye Is Coming Back To Town
When 'Ye isn't busy snubbing the Grammys and having fun with his boo out in Brazil, you'll be glad to know that he's actually busy cooking up one off shows for his fans. Yesterday the internet went nuts on the announcement that Kanye West would be performing in London and Paris later this month and no huge stadium gig either, a more intimate - and pricey with tickets start at £65 - experience at Hammersmith Apollo on 24th February. Expect a huge light show and lots of extra spesh tech activity, (we're speculating i a big way here) but well, there must be a reason why he's picked the spot that he has done and the price is mega steep because god knows they don't need to set up a baby fund. Tickets go on sale 9am tomorrow so good luck homies!

Al Pacino Gives An Intense Performance As Phil Spector
Al Pacino stars as the flamboyant record producer Phil Spector in the upcoming HBO biopic. Expect a volatile performance from the legendary actor, sporting an impressive array of wigs throughout the film. Spector, is a well known US producer who crafted a whole host of hits, way back in the 60s - including the backing track to the trailer below, 'Unchained Melody' and the biopic tracks the relationship between his lawyer (played by Helen Mirren) during his time on trial of murdering actress Lana Clarkson. Look out for the film heading our way this March...

Set to take the stage on our side of the shores later this year, dates are being added by the second for the Bajan stars upcoming performances. For now have a gander at the side-shaved ones bathtime.

James Blake Channels D'Angelo in Retrograde
We've missed the sultry yet eerie sounds of young Mr Blake so glad to see he's back and on a soulful tip. We're getting a D'Angelo 'Brown Sugar' type vibe from this track and having announced new tour dates will be excited to see how this sounds live. Enjoy the interesting video below...
Grammy Awards 2013 Recap
The first shout out of The Grammys has to go to J Lo's leg on the red carpet, forget all of the guidelines US network CBS gave out, Jenny proved that she is most definitely from the block. Besides that Ye and Hova pretty much scooped up the rap category, allowing Drake to win best rap and poor 18 times nominated Nas with nothing to pop on his mantlepiece. Besides that Chris Brown was the sore loser as expected refusing to stand with the rest of the crowd as the Grammy audience gave Frank Ocean a standing ovations for pipping him to the post in the Contemporary Urban category - yes we're 100% sure that they made that up. Jay Z jumped on stage with JT for his verse on Suit & Tie and was in good form addressing collaborator The Dream's dress code.
Grammy Winner Drake Has Fun In The Snow In New Vid
Drizzy dropped visuals for his new track Started From The Bottom yesterday after scooping best rap album at the Grammys. It's almost as if he knew it was going to snow today, Affion where is the spoof we need a spoof, now!

Angel Takes On The World In New Video
Last year Angel went from strength to strength, penning hits for Roll Deep and launching himself into the charts with radio smash 'Wonderful'. 2013 will see the west Londoner drop his debut album via Island Records which we hear has an amazing collab with Frank Ocean, you may have also seen the singer/songwriter in the studio with racing drive Lewis Hamilton on a casual tip but his skills have also been summoned by the likes of Rihanna and more. He's kinda special so make sure you support the single when it's released 31st March.
Snoop Lion Ft. Angela Hunte & Major Lazer - Here Comes The King
Sometimes you just need to stop and say, 'What the beep beep beep is going on here?'. Watching this video provides one of those moments, in fact it provides multiple. We appreciate that you have to grow with your music but turning into a Rasta reulting in a good telling of from Bunny Wailer and then releasing music like this to your fans who have loved you long time, is cray. We're not quite sure why Dre Skull has dropped these beats on the Long Beach gangsta rapper turned Rasta, especially considering the good job he did on Vybz Kartel's last project. So many questions, anyway watch this video for the pure entertainment and/or heartache, we prefer the Gin & Juice days though it must be said.

Disclosure Perform New Track You Used To Hold Me In US
These brothers can do no wrong when it comes to providing musical treats for our ears.

Until then, check out the live rendition of newbie 'You Used To Hold Me' below.
Barely Legal Provides A Heavy Dose Of Grime

Keep an eye out for this deck spinner as this is just the beginning.

RBMA Questions What Dya Call It Post Dubstep For?
Us silly journos are always making up musical terms to keep up with the fusion of sounds upon us today but once in a while we need to stop and check ourselves before we... you know the rest. Up and coming mix and blend production duo Bondax alongside industry insiders and bloggers question the most overly used terms, including post dubstep, bass music and more in the second series of RBMA's H∆SHTAG$. Interesting watch for those totally against or totally for nonsense words to describe every style of music there is.
Dave Grohl Picks Nas' Brain
One of the greatest lyricists of all time comes face to face with rock leg-end Dave Grohl on Chelsea Lately. Weird right? Either way it's an entertaining watch so click the vid below to see what Nas thinks about the upcoming Grammy Awards and beef in hip hop.
Mishka Unveil SS13 Look Book
NYC brand Mishka have launched their spring collection and have not been shy when it comes to the odd embellishment. Modelled by well known albino model Shaun Ross, the collection features pattern-heavy garments, classic varsity jackets with faded-indigo selvage running through the collection alongside utilitarian work-wear motifs.

Drake Goes In On New Track Started From The Bottom
Drizzy is back and ready to tell us all about his journey to the T O P. Already Wiz Khalifa has jumped on the remix of the Mike Zombie track a slight move away from the sweet sounds found on Drake's previous album, 'Take Care'. There's been a few comparisons knocking about but we'll have to wait until we hear more to judge just how much biting has occurred.

My Nu Leng Drop Elite EP for FREE!!!
It seems like Black Butter Records are on a roll, following Rudimental's rise to success last year and the mags heavily tipping young guns like Syron and Woz for 2013. Refusing to ease up the stream of quality music output, Bristolian production duo My Nu Leng step up with something fresh in the shape of free EP, 'Elite'. As the label puts it, "Apocalyptic in its delivery and woven with the pure essence of rave, the EP entices you to both rise into the ether and fall into the abyss." Sounds exciting right? Whether you skank, shuffle or shock out, just get yourselves involved!
Queen Bey Announces UK Tour + THAT Superbowl performance
Mrs Carter proved just how much of a superstar she was last night at her Superbowl half time show, she even allowed Destiny's Child member to sing backing vocals on 'Single Ladies'. For those that couldn't be bothered staying up until 1am, see for yourselves what all the hype was about below, and for those that did watch live, you'll probably want to do that again, so it's a good thing Queen Bey has announced a world tour almost straight after her show. It's impossible to hate on this woman!
The Child Of Lov - Give Me (Two Inch Punch Remix)
Anonymous music maker Child Of Lov found a fan in PMR Records Two Inch Punch, so of course when the pair by chance hooked up at Damon Albarn' studio, some music had to be made. See the results for yourself as T.I.P handles remix duty on 'Give Me'.
...And if you haven't already, make sure you check out another remix from Punch, this time around Rudimental house banger 'Spoons' gets a seeing to...
