Purple Crown (Tajh ) is a member of indie group "The Suns". Earlier in their career they were known as multi platinum selling Motown recording artist "The Boys", a child group of four African American brothers who enchanted the world with their singing and dancing abilities, and back flips (acrobatics).

Following the infamous Ricky Trooper video 'YouChube', Birmingham's hot Dancehall DJ created the YouTube riddim which was recently played on Jamaican radio and was pulled up 43 times straight! "43 times - Reload and come again!"

Dancehall music selector Ricky Trooper has been posted in a YouTube video drunk, telling Dancehall artists to suck their Mom, making homophobic remarks and talking up some dancehall secrets. Then to make it worse he waves a gun at the camera, admits to having more than one USA Visa (and shows them both to the camera!), then admits that he's going off to pay for sex! - What an eeediot!!!!!!!

According to a tweet from DJ Scratch's Twitter page, the body of Keith Elam, better known as Guru of Gang Starr, was cremated on Thursday (April 22), in accordance with the rapper's wishes . . . or was they?

B12’s bad guy, K.B, is an artist who has never strayed away from controversy. Since he exploded onto the scene with his ‘dump on site’ series, he has built a reputation for putting gangster back into grime.

The man who grime-heads are now calling “The Uncle Murder of Grime” spoke to Supatrax about; life in prison, how he would give Chucky the one punch knockout and the current situation between him and Mally Man in this exclusive Supatrax interview.

Skyla Grime was once one of the most versatile Mc’s emerging through the ranks of Birmingham’s grime scene. His sharp delivery and well structured wordplay earned him a place amongst Birmingham’s most elite spitters, but after a long break away from the recording, the word on every grime-head’s lips has been:

"What the hell’s happened to Skyla?" - Supatrax tracked him down.

I was listening to Funky house the other day, when I came across a very talented female. Flavia’s soulful voice sounded perfect over the funky house beat created by Knox Brown (U.K Producer), her anthem ‘funky gave me you’ is definitely going to be a hit on the urban funky house scene.

Gorilla Sawnoff made headline news in October 2008 when he was stabbed repeatedly in front of a stunned crowd of afternoon shoppers in Birmingham city centre. Whilst the attack ‘terrified’ many of Birmingham’s journalists (well dats da way dey were goin on!), it only inspired Gorilla to get further on his grind. In his first interview since the attack Gorrilla speaks with Supatrax as it's the only media outlet to portrays the 'REAL shituation' in Birmingham.

In a U.K hip hop era where “Swag” and “Rep” have become the credentials that make a good rapper, it seems lyricism and storytelling are skills that have been lost in a new generation of black music.

Right about now, it is safe to say that you can count the number of female rappers from the U.K. on one hand. The number of thoughtful and talented rappers is even fewer than that.

Sykes is set to change these statistics!
