I love you & I love blogging. BUT, I hate Blogger continuously blocking & deleting posts without notice.

Hence,I've moved to Tumblr.

Head over to http://mrmanik.tumblr.com

See ya there :)

It's Been A Long Time, I Shouldn't Have Left You...

2010-02-06T17:34:00.000-08:00

PLEASE forgive the delay in posting! But to be honest...I haven't had anything to post. The album's not finished, I haven't been in the studio & I've not done that many shows.

From next month, that will hopefully change. I should be wrapping up the album. I don't want to disappoint anybody, so I'll just say I'd LIKE it to be out on July 20th,which is my birthday.

The first single is "Frighten The Beat". We'll be shooting a video for that in March,I cannot wait. If you consider yourself a fan of B.B. Manik, I thank you for your patience, understanding & support. If you want me to play in your town, message me. If you just wanna say hey, say hey. I'll always reply.

I'm gonna try & update this everyday. I have ton of new Raw Riddim tunes to give away, news from the other artists to update you on & other goodies.

Thanks again & keep checking back

DOWNLOAD: B.B. Manik - Super-Hero Chronicles Volume 1

2010-01-12T14:36:00.000-08:00

What with volume 2 just around the corner, I got listening to this. It's not flawless,but I freestyled every bar on this mixtape,produced a lot of the tracks & put it out independently. I'm very proud of it & the fact it's not perfect, has made me wanna shoot for more.

I've worked with some brilliant people on volume 2 & cannot wait til you get to hear it. In the mean time, enjoy volume!

Great taste in hoodies as well :)

Who Is Abbie Norml?

2009-11-23T14:26:00.000-08:00

The answer is: a poet, a model & a unique freestyle rapper. You might have seen her on Suicide Girls on in Front Magazine, but now get ready to hear her as you puts her thoughts over beats.

I & the rest of Raw Riddim am proud to welcome her to the fam & look forward to the release of her debut LP.

Stay tuned, cos there's more to come!

She's making a lot of "One To Watch" type lists, but I'm not posting this to be able to say "I told you", but because I want people to hear her music.

I believe Ellie Goulding is a true songwriter & a unique one at that. I cannot wait for her debut album & I hope you lot buy it & support her!

The Music Video Is Not Dead

2009-10-16T10:47:00.000-07:00

MTV & Kiss might be full of God awful portrayals of bad CG (Flo-Rida "Jump"), terrible dance routines (Alexandra Burke "Bad Boys") & bad acting (Black Eye Peas "I Gotta Feeling"). So, what a breath of fresh air this is.

Sure, it might be from a cash-in album & sure Justice probably wacked the beat together in 5 minutes, but it doesn't change the fact that this rocks.

Applause to everyone involved.

Manik. This will be the first chance to hear brand new material from all these acts.

As well as all this, they'll also be free goodie bags & give aways all night.
You'd be a fool to miss out,so get yourself down to Clerkenwell House on the 26th of August!

The Return

2009-08-10T10:54:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the delay in blogging, but things have been mad post Glastonbury! I now have an agent! Yay! I'm also meeting with managers at the moment to get something in place.

I've also been recording a mixtape & album simultaneously, so that's been hectic, but fun. I think I'm gona give the mixtape away, so stayed tuned for that!

I had swine flu, which is what not a good look, but gave me time to rest & plan things.

I'll be posting news more regularly soon & I have some real surprises in store :)

New B.B. Manik merchandise is available at The Raw Riddim Store.

In the meantime, here's a new tune:
B.B. Manik - In The Ends (Featuring Jai Michele, Curtis Khan & Freezi)

GLASTONBURY!!!

2009-06-27T13:56:00.000-07:00

So, today I played Glastonbury. It was the most incredible experience of my life. A huge crowd, so many nice people & beautiful weather. They say a picture says a thousand words, so I'll let them speak for me:

Rolf as we arrived.

The rider was awesome. I nearly drown in Vitamin Water.

SO, the Transporter was on last night & this, of course, is the theme to it. I forgot how good it is:

Knoc-Turn'al - Muzik

It's been a good week. I had rehearsals for Glastonbury & bumped into Mr. Hudson's manager. Turns out we used to work in the same studio. We swapped details & we're gonna sort something out soon. There's also a possibility that I'll be working on a track with Dizzee. It's early days, but I'll keep you posted.

I'm in the final stages of signing with a manager & agent as well, so things are looking up.

Finally, mark this date in your calander: October 12th. Fingers crossed that everything goes to plan, cos if so, this will be the release date of my album. 2 videos have been shot so far, a third is on the way. I'm doing loads of interviews for magazines & blogs to promote it in the coming months & I will be touring as well.

...It's finally all happening! Exciting times. I'll talk more about it when I'm back, but for now, I'm off to Glastonbury!

Peace :)

2009-06-14T12:01:00.000-07:00

Whatup peeps. As you can see, I'm halfway through revamping the blog. I despise html, so bare with me.

Might as well let you lot know what I've been up to. Finishing up the album. It's taken five years, but I've had help from some fantastic people & it's finally all coming together. It'll be launched with 3 music vids & I will tour to support it. More details closer to the time (starting in July).

I'm also playing Glastonbury!! I'm so excited. Doing a set with Rolf Harris & one by myself & might possibly be able to worm my way unto the Roots Manuva set, so that would be amazing.

The new tunes are being recorded over the next couple of weeks, so I shall post them on here & my Twitter & hopefully you guys can give me feedback?

anyway, in the meantime, head over to:

After giving the Grime world it's first novelty hit, Afrikan Boy was expected to go the way of so many others before him, never to be heard from again. But, lo & behold, years later, he's still around. Playing shows with Dizzee Rascal & Mos Def & starring in videos with the Beastie Boys.

His debut album will be the 2nd official release on M.I.A's new label, but till then we'll have to listen to his still in production mixtape.

Her first single has been signed to Universal & I'm sure an album is set to follow. The world is hers & she deserves it, cos artists like her will help take the game to the next level. Long live Bratt.

Is That Right?

Now that Eminem has released Relapse, three things remain to be seen:

2) How is 50 gonna follow up such a good release?
3) How will Eminem follow up such a good release?

The xx are group of young London based musicians who have quite the buzz generating around them at the moment. They produce guitar driven indie rock, but state early 90s R&B as their inspiration.

The lyricism & arrangement in their tracks totally outshines any of their peers & if the British public have any sense, they'll snatch up this groups debut album when it comes out later this year, on XL Records.

Mad tired, I'll post more tomorrow. Have this:

Doing The Dø

2009-04-24T16:01:00.000-07:00

The Dø are a French-Finish duo who make amazing pop tunes that are mostly upbeat & catchy as hell. (Imagine The Knife, but less jaded & you're in the right area)

Their debut album A Mouthful is available now & if you have any sense, you'll purchase it.

Black Eyed Peas have returned. Now, before you start with the collective groans, know one thing: this track aint half bad. Like all their best work though, it's ruined by Fergie's frankly uncanny ability to ruin any song merely by opening her mouth. They fare much better on the remixes.

While it's definitely a step up from We Made You, it's not quite "Business" is it?

Whilst this doesn't look a patch on any of the recent Judd Apatow offerings, it still looks laugh out loud funny. Bring on the summer blockbusters, eh?

Best Summer Tune Ever?

2009-04-21T15:42:00.000-07:00

Ok, forget what it's about for a second & just listen to it. Tell me this isn't the perfect tune to listen to during summer?

2009-04-20T11:57:00.000-07:00

There's a list of rappers you really wouldn't want to piss off: Eminem, LL Cool J, 50 Cent, Jay-Z.

Well, you can now add Curtis Khan to that list of battle ready emcees, cos his new tune is doing the rounds & boy does he sound pissed.

He doesn't mention any names, but it's clear that a certain MC has stepped on Mr. Khan's toes. Will the MC in question reply? It could get interesting...

Curtis Khan - Don't Want Me To Continue

Dipset!!

This popped up on my iTunes & I'd forgotten just how good it was. So, I'm sharing it with you.

While it remains to be seen if Clipse can create a third flawless album about selling crack, one thing is for sure: they do know how to make bangers.

Signed to a new label (and with a new label of their own), the duo are set to release their new album Til The Casket Drops during Summer of this year.

It's not been confirmed whether this is the first single yet, but it's already looking like the third time's a charm.

Call Of The Wild

2009-04-20T11:14:00.000-07:00

At 15, most kids are playing video games, going out & partying for the first time or studying for exams. Not Brandy Mcnee. This 15 year old South-Londoner has already started Wild Style Clothing, a new apparel company set to do big things in '09.

With colourful tees full of unique designs, this young company looks set to give the Bapes & Mishka's of the world a run for their money.

They'll soon be taking orders,so for more info, click here

DJ Screw, born Robert Earl Davis, Jr. (July 20, 1971 – November 16, 2000)[1], was a central figure in the Houston hip hop scene. His innovation included the trademark technique of slowing down the basic tracks of a cut when he remixed it. He was the main music mixer for the huge Screwed Up Click.

Chopped and screwed refers to a technique of remixing hip hop music which developed in the Houston hip hop scene in the 1990s. This is accomplished by slowing the tempo and applying techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and effecting portions of the music to make a "chopped-up" version of the original.

"They Say That Everything Sounds The Same..."

2009-04-15T11:34:00.000-07:00

UK rap is in a state right now. Until Professor Green, Envy, Curtis Kahn or Freezi release their albums later this year, there is no one representing.

The scene is dying, no good tracks, no good videos. What are we to do? The scene needs a saviour.

Cue Mike Skinner. The Streets returns to take his rightful place on the throne. '09 could be a hell of a year, after all.

The Streets - Trust Me

The Streets - Lets Push Things Forward (Remix featuring Roll Deep & Dizzee Rascal)

Slim Punisher

2009-04-14T14:18:00.000-07:00

In the most creative decision they have made in some time, XXL Magazine interview Eminem. Whilst that in itself isn't creative (Slim has graced at least 4 covers already), the shoot itself is brilliant.

Eminem dons the costume of Marvel comic character The Punisher. Inside the mag is a limited edition of the comic featuring a guest appearance by Eminem as well. Stroke of genius. More of this please!!

Eminem - Stimulate

Eminem - Invasion (Freestyle)

Eminem - Bad Influence

For Goodness Drake

2009-04-14T14:01:00.000-07:00

Countless mixtapes, blog hype & a cult fanbase. Does Drake remind you of anyone? That's right; for all counts Drake could be the next Lil Wayne. No surprise then, to find that Drake is signed to Weezy's Youn Money Records.

His debut album is due out this year & if the material that's been leaked is any indication, he could do even better than his mentor.

Darke - Successful (ft. Trey Songz and Lil Wayne)

Shaggy & Friends- Save A Life

2009-04-14T13:14:00.000-07:00

Shaggy along with a all star cast of Jamaican artist came together for a special cause by donating their time and talent to raise money and awareness for the Bustamante Childrens Hospital in Jamaica. Along with this amazing song, a charity concert was held in Jamaica. Check out the web site for further details!

R.I.P. Proof

2009-04-12T11:05:00.000-07:00

It's three years since rap lost a real legend. Most of the world will know Proof as the leader of D12 & Eminem's best friend. However, he was more than that.

As a passionate & vocal ambassador for the Detroit rap scene, he earned himself the nickname "The Mayor". He was instrumental in the careers of Eminem, Kid Rock, J Dilla, King Cordy & more.

Unfortunately, his desire to stay located in the city ultimately led to his demise. He will forever be remembered as a pioneer & evidence that with enough hard work & determination, anyone can achieve their dreams.

The other day, I had a friend round. Upon hearing the John Cena track that randomly popped up on my iTunes, he exclaimed "yo, he can spit!". WHAT?! People don't know this already?!!

For those not in the loop, Cena is a WWE wrestler, G-Unit affiliate (he co-created the "You Can't See Me" dance with Tony Yayo) & a part time actor.

He released his debut album to critical acclaim (and platinum sales) a few years back.

I'm breaking my Kanye West ban, this one time for this: the funniest episode of South Park in ages (which is saying something, they've been on a roll this season).

South Park - Gay Fish (Kanye West Parody)

If you haven't seen it, I won't explain it. Download it now!! It's too funny.

Kanye had this to say about it:
SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT’S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF “I TOLD YOU SO!!!” IT’S COOL TO TALK SHIT WHEN YOU’RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE’S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I’M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I’M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I’M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I’M SURE THERE’S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS… THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW IT’S ME!

BAWSE!!!

I usually wait til Rick Ross's albums are out then listen to the whole thing, rather than listening to leaks. But, everyone had been raving about this song, so I gave it a go.

DAYYUUUMMMM. We could be looking at the album of the year, off the back of this song alone. I've heard this isn't even the best track on the album. Not even close.

Everyone else needs to step their game up (50, Em, that includes you).
