Here weeeeeee goooooooooooooo!!!!

Marty - Break Free



I stumbled across New Jersey MC Marty this week, and I'm very good I did. Break Free, his first real video (and a lovely shot video, if I may add), sees Marty rhyming over RJD2's amazing Smoke and Mirrors. Marty appears to be one of those effortlessly talented performers. His raps at first appear laidback and almost lazy, but you quickly learn to appreciate the speed and accuracy of his rapping. Love it.

Marty - Flawless



Yeah it's Marty again. SO WHAT? I couldn't decide between these songs, both totally different, both totally amazing. Another track off the debut, yes debut, mixtape "The 25th Hour: Hut One".

The Maccabees - Walking In The Air



With a lot of my recent listening turning towards hip hop and rap, mainly thanks to Kanye, Jay Z, Cudi etc, it's nice to go back to one of my favourite indie bands. This cover, put together by Seat of all people, is genius. Orlando's somewhat haunting voice takes over Aled Jones' track to produce a epicly eerie version of Walking In The Air. Now this would be a lovely Christmas number one, just saying.

Theophilus London - Oops



Want to get the world's attention Theophilus London? Well get Linsday Lohan to shot a drugged up porno, cover Tweet & Missy Elliot and stick it on Youtube. BOOM!

The XX - You've Got The Love (Theophilus London Remix)



Oh hey Theo again, what do you want to do now? Get The XX's cover of Florence and The Machine's You Got The Love and then remix? Ok. Wow, look how well that turned out. His input makes this song sound even more fresh and relevant than it already did.
