yes.

my obsession with grime is in full gear.

i'm eagerly awaiting the debut full-length from Lady Sovereign, i just got full-length efforts from JME (good), Tinchy Stryder (ok), Wiley (really good)... and countless 12" singles and white labels. good times.

oh, and i found a halfway decent grime (and related) blog written by chantelle fiddy. she also writes music columns for a few mags and whatnot. if nothing else, she's naming names so i know what to look for.

yeah.

also, DJ Empirical has a new weekly night at Boca, a restaurant in cinci. i've heard word it's the #1 restaurant here, but of course i can't say. i can say that it's the best place to be on thursday nights if you want to hear dj empirical play records. yeah. it's mostly hip-hop based, but with loads of mashups and quite a bit of grime.
