Gift Of The Gab

New Music Order
How many times have we complained that modern music just isn’t the same as those 90’s Hip Hop & RnB songs we spent our youth shaking our tushies to?
A lot; so you can imagine our excitement when we came across Collective AKA Supply n Demand. Formerly a DnB DJ alongside Grooverider, Kenny Ken, Andy C & Shy Fx, Collective grew frustrated with the lack of inspiring music out there; propelling him into music production career.
With a Top 10 UK chart hit with Bouncing flow – ‘Hey Yo, Hey Yo, Hey Yo coming with the bouncing Flow (Yup we all shook our tushy to this one) during his time as part of K2 Family, Collective went on to work with some of the biggest names in music including Leona Lewis.
In 2014, his music has come of age; providing a liqatone fusion of jazz, reggae, funk, soul, Hip Hop and Afrobeats.
Whether you require a DJ or music producer; we can’t recommend Collective enough! Follow him @Collective9

Ragz-CV
Ragz-CV is a 25 yr old lyricist from South London who has been doing music for a few years now but 2012 was a massive year for him as he brang out his 1st mixtape titled "The Death Of Hip-POP" on January 31st which got loads of recognition leading him to do various radio interviews on stations such as On Top Fm, Deja Vu Fm, Guess Radio & Radio King Online. Ragz was also fortunate to have met legendary Hip Hop artist KRS-1 and did a freestyle with him which you can see on youtube. The buzz he created has since allowed him to gain management.
On the September 10th 2012 he released an E.P called "Paying Homage To The King" produced by his granddad with 50% of proceeds going to 'Alzheimer's Society' charity who have sponsored it. He decided to do this because his grandma suffers with the disease. On the launch night him & his boy Junior Booker made £800 for the charity packing out the Brixton Jamm club with over 200 people and the lambeth mayor himself making an appearance. Since then he has carried on pushing and has to date made over £3,000. In December he released his debut video off his new E.P 'Memories' which can be seen here >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5FyBSAWpyQ

DDark
Stefan Mensah, better known as 'DDark' is a UK producer and rapper. DDark is an eclectic artist specialising in a range of genres from Hip-Hop, R&B, Grime and
Dubstep,.. To Funky House, Electro and Pop.
From as early as 5 years old, DDark’s passion for music evolved as he began to play musical instruments such as the piano and guitar. Shortly after DDark’s urge to blast
through the music scene, he featured on a number of well-established pirate radio stations like Mistiq Fm, Heat Fm, Raw UK, Jam Hot, De Ja Vu and more. Once DDark’s exposure had begun to get him
recognised, he realised that big DJ’s such as BBC 1xtra’s DJ Cameo, Marian Hoobs and DJ Logan we're keen to have him feature on their shows.
Moreover, Aftershock - an independent label - signed DDark at the tender age of sixteen. This was a massive achievement for him as he was quite clearly being recognised
for all the right reasons: a young, talented, unique artist that had the ability to concoct sounds together in his virtual laboratory, using mixtures of feelings that circulated in his life, to
create some really good music. The label itself had urban prestige as it upheld some of the best mainstream urban artists, such as Terror Danjah, Bruza and Tinie Tempah. As expected, DDark
collaborated with these artists in many music videos which were aired on Channel U and can now be found on Youtube. DDark had also collaborated with mainstream rapper Chipmunk and produced tracks for
Wretch 32.
He featured on many underground songs such as ‘On The Block’ and ‘Tempations’, which was broadcasted on Channel U, Flava and MTV Base. DDark has also produced a mass
amount of beats for loads of different types of artists and in addition, was responsible for the explosive underground Instrumental ‘Misson Riddim’ and has also performed at hugh events/festivals
such as Reading Festival and Wireless Festival.
In 2012 DDark released his "M.O.T" mixtape for free download which was featured on the SBTV website and has accumulated over 10,000 downloads. DDark was mentioned by
mainstream rapper 'Sway' as one to watch out for. Mid 2012 he also featured on Original DJ Memzee's "All-Star" track which he produced. The Track was aired on MTV Base, Channel aKa, Flava TV and was
heavily rotated by Dj's Jenny Francis, Firing Squad, Dj Woody and Dj Target. He also starred in the viral youtube shows 'Smokey Barbers' and 'Diary of a Badman' which has received over a million
views and has worked closely with the BBC producing backing tracks for the show Panorama.In 2013 DDark signed to independent label Uptempo Records which will be releasing his forth coming Singles and
EP.

Lishon Junior
Introducing 22 year old recording artist and actor from Manchester calledLishon Junior. Lishon expands his talent over the scene by not justwriting his own songs, but
also songwriting for other artists and friends,and is now about to take on a new role as a radio show host on a new andfully licenced radio station called 'Urban Vibes Fm' which will be basedin the
northwest of England.
What started out as just a hobby has turned into nine years of him composingbmusic. Gradually growing older over the past nine years around the vastmajority of talent
that Manchester has to offer, it seems like it wasdestiny for him to pursue it as a career and follow his dreams. At firstglance you will notice that he is pretty much the spitting image of
U.S.rapper 'T.I.' but has a completely unique flow, style and flexibility ofboth underground and commercial music which cant be compared to any other.
"When it comes to what music I make.. i Rap, i Sing and also MC. I'vealways been around music and grew up listening to Reggae, Soul, Rnb &Hip-Hop but, allot of my
inspiration has come from acts such as Nas, KanyeWest, Drake, etc.. I also do it as a way to express my thoughts andfeelings and think music is a great way to connect with ones emotions whichoffers
feelings of relief and release many of life's issues."
The next release to come from will be an EP called 'Hold On, PainEnds' or 'HopeEP' for short. Pouring allot of his own emotionsinto many of the songs but diversifying
the rest I think will alloweveryone to really relate to him and his music. Lishon is reallyexcited to see how it does when its finally independently releasedalong with the official release of his
long awaited single 'Set MeFree' which currently gets played in over 11 different country'svia soundcloud and several radio stations. His main focus for 2013to link up with as many amazing artists as
possible and basicallycreate a whole new catalogue of great music. Always interacting withthe fans and followers has secured him a loyal fan base and following.For updates, collaborations, general
enquires or just to contact himto say thank you for making great music, follow and catch up with himon twitter: @lishonjunior
