New Music: Young Thug x Dizzee Rascal - I Luv Stoners (Oneman edit)
Oneman combines his two loves - gangsta rap and grime - into one incredible edit.. Three greats in perfect synergy - 100x yes! After premiering the track on Rinse FM a few weeks back, the inimitable DJ Oneman - who was in Australia just two weeks back (where he got really stuck into the, erm, finest food we have to offer) - has upped onto his Youtube his awesome edit of Young Thug's 2013 rap anthem Stoner, worked in with grime lord Dizzee Rascal's 2011 track I Luv U, off Dizzee's game-changing album Boy In Da Corner. The jittery pacing and metallic percussion of I Luv You perfectly sets off Thugga's spasmic bars, with the squelchy rudeboy bass contrasting nicely with Thug's singing towards the end. Listen below: Oneman recently did a half hour grime mix on RinseFM (featuring a Dizzee track, naturally) that's also well worth a listen: Dizzee, meanwhile, has been busy making some truly dope videos, that we wrote about below: Video - Dizzee Rascal, 'Pagans' Video - Dizzee Rascal, 'Coupl

Video - Dizzee Rascal, 'Pagans'
Dizzee Rascal follows up his gruesome Halloween exclusive with Pagans, a new track and video that goes in like a fly kick to the head.. After bouncing back onto the scene in a flurry of spurting blood and ripped bedsheets in his nutso, next-level Halloween exclusive Couple of Stacks, Britain's most legendary MC Dizzee Rascal just premiered Pagans (prod. by Footsie), which takes the next level to..um...whatever comes after the next level.  The video takes on the form of an Asian martial arts film spoof, replete with chapters, with Dizzee showing off his talent for kung fu. The reference to Asian culture could be seen as a throwback to Dizzee's first ever album, made at age 19, Boy In Da Corner, which utilised Asian synths and plucked strings, bringing international texture to his East London garage style.   "Some people think I'm bonkers...there's nothing crazy about me?" rapped Dizzee back in 2009. Six years on, and 100% can confirm Dizzee is truly bonkers. Also, still a visionary.  Wa

Dizzee Rascal's Terrifying Halloween Video Clip
Actually just shat ourselves.. Wow. To commemorate Halloween this year, Britain’s greatest ever (he is) grime MC Dizzee Rascal has released a one-off, horror-themed video clip for his track Couple of Stacks (produced by Footsie), which is only playing for a few days over at Vice Mag before it comes down Sunday.  The seriously intense clip plays tribute to a number of slasher flicks, and features the Mercury Prize winning musician in a blood-spattered yellow mackintosh wielding a huge machete as he wreaks havoc in a family home – in a young woman’s bedroom and at a family dinner table. Dizzee’s head spins on its axis as he backs down a hallway, at another point he has glowing white demon eyes, and in one hilarious scene he appears as a bump under a bed sheet, with holes cut out for his eyes. Watch out for the knife through the sheet moment – ouch. WATCH IT HERE.  It’s directed by Emile Sornin, of Division Paris, who is behind this clip of Disclosure’s. It’s the perfect, cult video for a
