JERMAINE RILEY – “NOBODY ELSE”
Ex-Fundamental (FDM) frontman JERMAINE RILEY released his official debut solo effort titled Hello Earth this last week, after a series of audio and visual teasers that have built up over the last half of 2010 up until this point. The 11-track debut album includes features from two of the UK’s finest emerging “urban” talents –Lioness and Cherri V – as well as production from the likes of Maleek Berry(Port Mayfair) and veteran producer Dready and is a really great listen. However the track that stands out for us – heads and shoulders above the rest – is the Dready-produced “Nobody Else”.

CRIS CAB – “PUT IN WORK”
“Put In Work” represents the second offering we get to hear from the forthcomingBillionaire Boys Club-presented mixtape titled Echo Boom from young and fast-rising Miami-based singer, songwriter and musician CRIS CAB.
