Birmingham..........

So;

This OFFICIALLY is my first blog!!!

A particular topic has been niggling me for a while.....
THE BIRMINGHAM MUSIC SCENE!!

I've heard so much talent but I'm Not seeing it!! Why is this?? I feel that Birmingham hasn't got the same outlets that London does, hence why we're seeing and hearing all these london artists moving and grooving. Personally, i feel that Birmingham has some SERIOUS contenders, not even contenders because i've heard people from Brum that are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than some musicians from London who are overly documented. Notice how i said MUSICIANS and not EMCEES, thats because i feel that there's a major difference between an emcee and a musician!!!! a musician is versatile and can apply their talent to any genre of music, whereas, an emcee can simply do one thing...... its self explanitory really.

I Posted on my twitter page the other day.... 'Brum Is Lackin On That Front.......We Need Serious Entrepenurs Up Here!!! Too Much Talent; Not Enuff Outlets!!!' && nearly everyone agreed with me. So what's been done about it?!...... well, GrimeBlog has reformed and is seriously helping to make people aware of the serious unsigned undiscovered talent in Brum!! but the main focus is on grime, but im sure they will branch out and start to watch the other musical movements in brum aswell!!
It has showcased the talent of Romo,Bomma B, Pressure, Dapz, Tempa, Deadly and so on........ I would be here for awile if i was to name everyone lol. I have o big everyone up though, because they're working hard!!! Putting in the work ALWAYS pay off, example, Romo...... His worked so hard, his overly talented, and i know, believe, promise and trust that his going to make it!!! check him out on twitter..... http://twitter.com/Romoartist his e.p comes out realllllllll soon so watch this space!!! Also gotta big up Bomma & P.R.E, doing it realllllllll big!!! watch out for their e.p aswell!!! Got a sneak preview and i know for a FACTTTTTTT its going to go OFFFFFFFFF!!! BIRMINGHAM STAND UP!!! wooo im all excited!!! i love when people work hard and it pays off, gives me a nice warm feeling inside!!! :D

I feel that its about time that Birmingham began to be noticed as serious contenders, not just for music but also within other branches of the media/entertainment industry. Films such as, for example, '1Day', which i was lucky enough to be involved in, are a key example. The movie uses real people, not actors. It used well known musicians from the Birmingham area, and encouraged their creative side, with the likes of Lady Leshur, S -Squad, Justice, Fiasqo and INS, headling the bill not only as actors but what they do best.... All the music in the film is HOME-GROWN, written and produced by Birmingham musicians!!! A real buzz has been created around the film and its released nationwide in cinemas on the 6th November!!! Its Going to be realllll big so make sure you go and watch it!!

What do you think though?? that's what i want to know....... holla!!! :) xo
