Chima Anya hits us with a new banger "New Day"

It's a good thing Chima Anya got this out before the end of Summer because this is a MUST have for sittin' out on the stoop, cruisin' in your car, or even in the club. I say it EVERY time but British hip-hop has taken a long time to come into it's own but it's people like Chima Anya that are pushing things forward... check it out...



"New Day" is the first single from the album of the same name... make sure you cop that! Be back soon!

GTA's Chima Anya presents new track from his upcoming mixtape!

Chima Anya is the fucking shit! Why?

Don't ask stupid questions! Did you not hear that last solo track we posted? The one Hudson Mohawke did? BECAUSE THAT TRACK WAS LIKE A BLAZING FIRESTORM... blew away everything in it's path...

So prepared to have the artists on your iTunes get envious when you add this joint...

This time of year most of us have a heightened sense of awareness with regards to time and deadlines we set ourselves to achieve what we want in life. This offering from london based oxford derived lyricist Chima Anya produced by DIZZ1 serves as a chilling reminder to all of us to get on that grind. A striking blend of grime's reckless frenzied mental state and Detroit's Dilla esque monstrous swagger, this track is one of many gems on Chima's upcoming mixtape.

See! I told you that was hot as hell! Be back soon with more goodies...

GTA present their new single "Breakthrough"

I never get tired of GTA... "Breakthrough" is positive hip hop that just makes you want you keep starting the song over when it ends. I really really like this song... and while the production is fresh (nice new spin on this sample) it's the verses that keep it from just being a fresh sounding instrumental! Trying to tell you how good this song is almost impossible because it's the type of song that will inspire feelings that are hard to describe to others. It's just damn good!

Here's a little press...
GTA (Junior Doctor Chima Anya and Ineffable) are back with their new single taken from their imminent full length LP "The Way" out on Phoenix down.

"Breakthrough" - the third single from the highly anticipated debut album has already stood the test of time, having already established classic status as a local anthem in and around Oxford circa 2005. The 08' version has some new delightfully endearing shuffling drums while retaining the triumphant horns and catchy chorus that made the original shine.

Sampling The O’Jay’s “Darlin, Darlin, Baby” GTA’s rendition is strong enough to stand side by side with the samples last notable outing on Big Pun’s "I'm not a playa" – and that’s really saying something.

I'm not sure if I was supposed to post the track or not so I may not keep it up long. You need to cop this album obviously!

Here's the video...


Speaking of positivity hopefully Obama wins tonight and we can all stop being so gloomy! Peace!

GTA from Oxford bring you VIP Brithop...

Awww man! I fucking love this song! As I say every time I post GTA (from Oxford) I mention that outside of grime, UK hiphop can be pretty stale... pretending to be fucking Jay Z doesn't work across the Atlantic! I mean, we all have poverty, struggle, strife, racism... that shit is everywhere... as well as baller ass whips, chains, rings, and bitches. UK hiphop falls apart in trying to be an exact counterpart to the US... it means EVERYBODY comes off like Fabolous or Canibus... no, not the good songs, the shitty ones. The problem with most of Brithop is that they are trying to use someone ELSE'S VOICE! I mean, the UK has so much amazing shit and such a progressive musical pedigree (especially producers)... why would you turn your back on that and try to be someone else?

GTA don't fall into any of those traps and therefore they get consistent support from me. This track is just Chima Anya from GTA (his partner Ineffable doesn't make it out for this one)... it's sick ass blippy hiphop, not entirely unlike Flying Lotus and Timbaland locked in a room. The track was done by Hudson Mohawke (who I need to look into after this track), straight outta Scotland... someone should do a track like that to the tune of 'Straight Outta Compton'... pardon, I'm wasted on cold medicine (which is why I haven't posted that Hot Chip video or anything else for days; I still haven't transcribed that FreQ Nasty interview but I'll get right on that)...

I hope you guys like this... I fucking love it. I would call this an 'Arcadian Family Portrait' but I'd rather do that when both the boys are on the track. Anyway, feel free to comment, I'll be back as soon as I can with a NEW HOT CHIP TRACK on video I caught the other night, and the FreQ Nasty interview (which is one of the best interviews I've ever done)...
