The Peoples Choice puts the power back in your hands and you can decide who you think should be the fourth finalist at the block party. Its pretty simple, all you have to do is click here, then click on the sub heading Peoples Choice and you will see all the remaining MCs who narrowly missed out on making the event. Click on an artist to view their 32 bars and if you want to vote for them then click the like button to the bottom left of the video.

The winner of The Peoples Choice will be thrown right back into the mix alongside the other three finalists. They will perform on the same stage as some of the biggest names in the game and could go on to claim the ultimate prize at the end of the event and earn the right to some studio time and the recording of a track under the No Hats No Hoods Label.

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:51:57 -0500

Rinse Fm’s Marco Del Horno and Kiss’ DJ Swerve collaborate again to deliver another massive track ‘Just Rewind’. The previous (Ho! Riddim) saw them link up with OGz member P Money, which was destined to be epic and proved to be when MistaJam made it his 133rd ‘Record of the Week’ and it got playlisted on the station as well as receiving a wide support from DJs across the board.

This time around sees them work with another OGz member in the form of Blacks and also features Lady Chann and these lot bring you straight fire with this one! Its already receiving heavy rotation on 1Xtra with Mistajam again fully behind it and it is bound to be another success for the Black Butter Records. Big up!
