Shizzio – 1st Things 1st: The Life & Times Of Joe Daki Vol.1 (2008)

A fast-becoming-famous UK rapper from East London released this unique gem last year, with a flurry of freestyles over own-produced beats and those well know. The mixtape is hosted by the amusing Kat Man, whom some of you may recognise from MTV and other channels.

IMO: Out of the depths of East London emerges Shizzio, someone whose hustle I truly respect. You may or may not have heard of him, so a quick run down goes: his biggest release to date is ‘Arabian Dance’ which was screened on all the major music channels, he recently went to the top of the charts in Miami and Venezuela with his refix of that Strokes tune called ‘Put Up Your Breitling’, and his new single is with US singer TQ. Oh, and he made it to the top 50 bachelors of 2008 in Asiana Mag too. All this, before he’s blown up. This was his first mixtape after his debut EP. Look out for his new mixtape called ‘Invasion Of Privacy’, which is on it’s way onto here too. See below for the links.

I’m Back! Like You Care…

“This guy’s useless. He posts a couple of goodies, a couple of mixtapes that you can find on any other blog, then he vanishes. What’s the point? He’s so lame and lazy. What’s the point if he can’t keep up with content?”

That’s probably the kind of thoughts my ones and fives of followers have of my lack of consistency in this blog lark, and I don’t blame you. I have both an excuse, and a reason too. Yes, both of them are as bad as each other:

Excuse: Some of us bloggers have jizzobs in the world of finance, and this makes March a very busy time of year for us indeed, after all, it being year end we have to try and blag as many expenses as tax-deductable and all the rest of that rubbish. Like you care.

Reason: I’ve been thinking about my content. As tiring as thinking is, consistency with blog content is just as demanding. Anyways, I plan to release more exclusive mixtapes that will destroy the competition out there (yeah right!), and perhaps take a stab at writing some opinionated articles with attention grabbing titles, as I believe my cynicism is second to none, which always makes for a fantastic read. Like you care.

!Happy New Year!

I began my celebrations in November, as you can see. I hope to make up for the absence in posts with a flurry of remotely interesting content, and loads more shallow over-rated free Hip-Hop. You know, the kind we can’t relate to. Please allow me to recover from my current state depicted so accurately below.

Having thought long and hard about his New Year's resolution, the green butler settled on 1280 by 1024...

Application Comparison: Apple iPhone VS Google G1

Hijacked from here, although the included video clips have been omitted because IMO there is too much YouTube embedding on blogs. If you really want to watch something, you can find it yourself.

“Unless you’ve had your head buried in some sort of technology sand, whatever that is, you can’t have missed Apple’s iPhone and 3G successor over the last 18 months. Celebrated by geeks, trendy folk and muggers alike, the talented touch screen mobile has re-invented the smartphone.

What you might have missed however was the unveiling of a new rival in the touchy feely phone stakes this week, the T-Mobile G1. Made by HTC, it’s the first phone to run Google’s open source operating system Android. It’s out in November, but the toolkit is already available, meaning those crazy coders (bless’em) are beavering away to come up with some prize programs for us come release date. Confused about which giant computing company deserves your green? Read on to see the best each phone has to offer.”

Top 5 Apps on the G1:

1:Street View
Combining your standard GPS with Google’s paintstakingly mapped photos of every street in the country means you have no excuse to get lost ever again.

2: Pac-Man
Not just a rip-off either, but the original arcade classic. Namco are even putting in tilt and trackball controls to give it extra life. Chomp chomp.

3: PicSay
This clever little app lets you edit images on the fly, so you can get rid of that guy lurking in the back of the photo with his finger up his nose before you post it on Facebook.

4: Ecorio
For the more environmentally friendly owners, Ecorio tracks your carbon footprint while driving. GPS with a conscience.

5: Cab4me
Scrap all those taxi cards you’ve got in your wallet – this program will call up your nearest minicab office with one button push. Or should that be tap?

Top 5 Apps on the iPhone:

1: BBC iPlayer
If you’re in a wi-fi area, you can catch up on Neighbours on your phone. If the BBC hadn’t lost it, that is, fools.

2: Sling Player
It’s still in development limbo, but when it finally launches, Sling Box owners will be able to stream their TV or DVR straight to their iPhone. Now that’s TV on demand.

3: I Am Rich
Sadly not available on the App Store anymore, this app offered you a glowing light on your screen. For $999. All this does is prove you either have serious cash to burn, or are sectionable. Probably both.

4: Airremote
Don’t like how your home remote controls have buttons you have to push? Use your iPhone’s touch interface with this app that makes your mobile a universal remote.

5: Sega Genesis Emulator
Get some nineties nostalgia on your phone. You have to be a bit naughty and jailbreak the iPhone, but it’s worth it to have Sonic blasting across your screen on the train.

My boss suggested I start taking my bike to work to help out the environment…

…so I did, and put it in the back of car.

Lloyd Banks – Return Of The PLK (2008)

FREE DOWNLOAD!

Lloyd Banks returns with another mixtape doing his rap thing.

IMO: Ain’t heard it properly yet. What does PLK stand for? Punch Line King. And if you think he should have called it PK because punchline is one word, then go tell him yourself. Lloyd Banks is quite popular on the mixtape circuit, and his popularity as a solo artist as well as a member of the G-Unit camp is well deserved. Am I alone in thinking that Lloyd and the ‘new and improved’ Craig David were separated at birth? See below for the link.

My first attempt – Rubbish

Blog? Website? Same thing? I couldn’t care less to be honest. I talk plenty of rubbish, there is plenty of rubbish going on in my life, my body has consumed unfathomable (is that a real word?) amounts of rubbish during its time on this rubbish planet. So what I want to do is keep a log of all that rubbish, because my memory is rubbish due to the fact I have treated it like rubbish, and when I am older I would like to remember all the rubbish things that played a part in my rubbish life, which I won’t be able to remember normally due to my rubbish memory.

What I may end up with is a realisation that my life is in fact not rubbish, and that this world we live in is full of wonderful things. I know what you’re thinking – fat chance – so inbetween I’ll do typical things like share music I like, etc.

This is my introduction. It may even be my leaving speech, if I get into my usual lazy state of spending months just formatting this post, and not actually writing another one.
