T Magic Boutique Exhibition

Don’t tell me T-Magic is not big!!! Check out this canvas. It’s only £450 that’s nothing when people like Damian Hirst sell dog shit wrapped in Twix wrappers and masks made of broken glass and beetle legs for millions of pounds.



^^^This canvas is nuts!!!^^^ It’s only a grand. I might buy one for my front room. Maybe I can make my own version with decayed Puma and cut up, defaced pictures of Thierry Henry???

Love the tees, love the artwork.

Check out the latest issue of RWD Magazine or MTV Base’s About to Blow for more info. tmagicworld.com is you!!!

Make sure you check out the exhibition…

Quick Review: Leo the Lion Album Showcase

Leo the Lion
Originally uploaded by Danny Walker 1.

It was all about the free bar to kick the night off – I’m starting to sound like a deadbeat alchy now – as the RWD team made sure our 30+ minute wait in the queue outside was justified. After the warm up; drinking and brushing shoulders with minor TV celebs, Leo the Lion made his way to the stage.

Just before he graced us with his presence he was introduced in a Michael “Let’s Get Ready To Rumble” Buffer fashion by some dude with slick back hair. Leo then appeared all in white – in contrast to his trio of backing singers who were synchronised in a cruel turquoise – and went straight into his set. The singer was in a bubbly mood and had somekind of glitter above his right eye but that didn’t deter us from the performance.

The tracks were decent, with a few highlights that included Old Fashion Love Song, Nite Nite and a Skinnerless rendition of The Streets’ Dry Your Eyes. Bar those treats, there was unfortunately nothing much that really stood out.


With Kelly^^^

Actually there was also a blast from the past as he dropped Coming Home which was a personally favourite in the day…



Remember? Good luck with the project Leo, I think you're gonna need it.

For those who care his LP is called Big Trouble In London and it’s out very soon I do believe, check MySpace.com/leothelionofficial for that.

Quick Review: Wiley’s Playtime Is Over Album Launch Party

Many were anxious during their entrance, many were anticipating some of the best grime unleashed in recent years, but most, most were just hoping Wiley would actually turn up…

As I gained entry with Terror Danjah and Badness – after my already long evening (not caused by the aforementioned by the way) – it was pure bliss to hear Boy Better Know riddims emitting from Cargo’s cavernous stage area. After a brief conversation with the reputable face of Roll Deep aka DJ Target I was somewhat taken aback by the amount or shall I say variety of people who had flocked to witness what was already in the process of going down.

Wearing (what only can be described as Bananas in Pyjamas nightwear)>>>

Eskiboy set free bar after bar whilst supported by the hype man of the set… [insert name of that MC here] the theme for the evening was “If you don’t own Playtime Is Over go and buy it now" as DJ Karnage spewed track after track.

Slightly late but undeterred the front of the stage was my next port of call – via the bar of course – only to find none other than Raj “And I would do anything from grime, oh I would do anything for grime” Kapone on the frontline. Already in sync with his standard skank the RWD Staff Writer was in full swing as Wiley took to the stage.

Highlights of the night include My Mistakes with Little D and Manga, Getalong Gang, No Qualms, Eskiboy and the TWO VERSE clip of Gangsterz. Somewhere amongst those was Badman with Flow Dan which wasn’t a highlight but I just thought I’d mention the Presidential Stance as adopted 90% of the time by the Transit Van driver.

A big night I must say despite missing a huge chunk of the BBK set.

Skinner And The Beats Banned From YouTube

The legendary Skinner blog reveals the content of YouTube/Thebeats was too much as it’s been “suspended” from the infamous video sharing site…

The popular portal youtube.com/thebeats that brought us many behind the scenes webisodes from Skinner, label manager Ted Mayhem and the rest of gang was bookmarked by many. The first place to show vids and footage from The Beats artists’ such as The Mitchell Brothers, Professor Green and Example was always worth a visit when not on RWDmag.com. Added to many Favourites lists – if only to see the latest madness from Beat Stevie – which can only be described as Internet broadcasted madness that mirrors the weird and wonderful world of The Beats. The best we can recall was when Mitchell Bros. where behind the scenes at an Amir Khan fight interviewing celebs and were more than moderately funny.

Skinner’s explains a recent post from the label manager may be cause of the ban, “Regarding the queen’s attitudes to the colour black.” Before requesting forgiveness from the Monarchy, “We would like to sincerely apologise to the royal family” he let loose, “We are sure they are more than welcoming of all people of any ethnic origin. We have always been a great fan of the Monarchy and Mayhem’s Indian family have only had good experiences with them in their role in the colonial rule of his motherland.” Ever cheeky Skinner added, “We have it on good authority also from Princess Anne that once you've had black you don’t turn back. The Mitchell Brothers in turn have offered to extend their services to any members of the royal household who would like to try.”

The Dry Your Eyes singer then informed that Beat Stevie is to have it’s own plot on the web, “Beat Stevie fans, we will have our own website in the next week or so where you can continue to watch unabated by the monarchy's oppression.”

Keep checking the World Wide Web for that forthcoming experience and it’s also worth the odd browse of youtube.com/thebeats just in case it gets reinstated. For more on the matter, pull up a pew beside MySpace.com/thestreets.

Ghetto on Logans Show...

Did anyone listen? Well you can listen back here. Big big big.

New Big Brother Race Row!!!

Wow, Emily Parr has used the 'N' word, to Charley [Can't remember her last name]. It's madness, don't they vet these people first? Surely individuals know what they can and can't say on national TV. We'll see later what actually went down. In the meantime, there's a good bit of coverage here though.

Raw Blue...

Go Buy Wiley And Mims!!!

Finally out to buy…

If you’ve got a little bit of money, I strongly suggest you go and buy these CDs or at least download them from your local digital vendor.

Playtime Is Over


Very big, it’s a shame My Mistakes and Come Lay With Me aren’t that good but I’m really feeling the rest of the LP. Actually My Mistakes is alright. Out of the new tracks (you know which ones I mean) Getalong Gang and Nothing About Me are truly great. Let’s see what the rest of the Tunnel Vision’s are saying.

Also go and purchase…



Music Is My Savior


I thought This Is Why I’m Hot was… hot, so I gave this 16 track LP a go. It’s big. Superman and the bonus track, I Did You Wrong are worthy of ANY playlist.

That’s about it really, nothing else worth buying this week.
