EVENT: ILUVLIE - KNERS, KADIJA KAMARA, TROZION, WARIKO, OBENEWA, BYOB

ILUVLIVE has uproots and made its way to the heart of East London for the start of the next chapter. Queen of Hoxton is the new hot spot for the essential Monday night affair. Performing at the new venue will be a host of top names from the homegrown scene, all under the watchful eye of Ras Kwame (BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra).

VIDEO: Trozion feat. A.L. 'Zombie Nation'

In these times, when social media controls kids, passports make way for IRIS scanners and unelected politicians do deals behind closed doors, one has to wonder why nobody in the urban arena has anything of substance to say.

PROFILE: Trozion comes of age

Trozion is one of the most promising young emcees to arrive on the UK scene. An intelligent artist with swagger and style, the 15-years old North Londoner has already won the attention of grime godfather Wiley and producer of the moment, Dot Rotten. Despite Trozion's status as an emerging artist, both beat makers were suitably impressed to offer productions for his forthcoming mixtape.

REVIEW: Industry Takeover 'The Blitz', Dec. 10th 2009

It may have been cold outside, but The Blitz ended up being the Thursday hotspot. Climate and crowd control was down to DJ Zig Zag, as Circus 2 opened up to the public. The floor filled and hosts Ralph Hardy & ‘Mika sparked things off. Their rapport and madcap humour was evident, as they took time to introduce open mic champ Roxxxanne (left). The feisty lyricist tore up the set with a couple of grime bangers and a fiery acapella. Rox brought a flavour of Birmingham to the London showcase with her powerful delivery.
