Columnist profile: Gresident

Kool people im HGMAG's newest blogger. "Gresident" I'm going to be posting fairly regularly and offering my opinion on some of the news that occurs in the Grime. Well thats it for now and ill post something in a few days. But now i'll leave you with this video from th e Lord of the Mics, 2 of the best MC's clashing when they were young before Kano went commercial and Wiley got slightly repetitive.

Ghetto - Freedom Of Speech

They say grime won't give man a mortgage (wheeel up. For all you readers
that are unaware of this release, Freedom Of Speech is a CD solely produced by
Lewi White and Smasher with a good few features, but not over board (big up
Goldie Hawn - big film) on them this guy can actually spit for 3 minutes and
entertain you in the process. Many have critised his last release, Ghetto
Gospel, for being a bit to 'out there', soft and you wanted the real angry
Ghetto back (even though you moaned because you said all he was, was an angry mc
but yeah anyway). He is back and he has definitely found that stable balance
between both Ghetto and Justin Clarke. "The CD has the raw energy of 2000 and
Life and the mature lyricism of the Ghetto Gospel...", I've heard it myself and
some of the stuff is rawer than than sushi. Soon I should be getting me
information about pre-ordering but I promise you, you won't have to mess about
with silly little recordshops who keep you waiting for weeks, even months, for
your CD's to be delivered - straight HMV business (I think). Have a listen to
Mountain and let me know what you guys think about it.
