Every time critics claimed that the celebrated Wu-Tang swordsman had fallen off, he came back with music proving much the otherwise. With R&B/soul music soaring in 2017, Jamie Light's arrival couldn't have been timed better, and he's a very worthy addition to the scene if his debut single 'Lies' is anything to go by. One of the most successful UK grime groups of all time are going to descend on the O2 in London for a day of fun and music on August the 27th. Blending a ridiculously catchy melody with soulful vocals and some mellow electro beats, 'Lies' firmly marks Jamie Light as one to watch this year. "I always wanted to mix glitch elements with R&B to give my music a unique vibe and the result was 'Lies', which I wrote about a previous situation", Jamie says of the track. "The song is about confronting the demise of a turbulent relationship and moving on when you can no longer gain anything from being in it." The self-penned/produced track is available to stream now and is the first single to be taken from the singer's forthcoming debut EP, RITUALS, which will be released via his own label, Ninth Park Records, later this year. Boy Better Know also known as BBK, who are headed by grime sensations Skepta, JME & Wiley, will host the all-day event, which will feature a star- studded line up of special guests including U.S rap superstar ASAP Rocky, plus UK talents Chip, Ghetts & J Hus. Aside from the musical aspect, the event will also be conducting a host of other activities which include skateboarding, film screenings and even a five-a-side football tournament. This event will surely be a hit with BBK's rapidly growing fan base which can be attributed to the rising popularity of the grime genre.

Safe to say Meth's bars are bang on point and will have his critics running for the woods. The beat for 'The Classic' also lives up to the tracks name, featuring an unmistakably east coast style piano loop and bassline. The track also showcases the Brooklyn-based Cortez of KOTD fame. Earlier in the month Meth also dropped another track to feature on Meth Lab 2:The Lithium entitled 'Eviction', most notably featuring Dave East from Nas's imprint, Mass Appeal Records. 'Eviction' also showcases Mass Appeal / Wu affiliates and newcomers Max B, Joe Young & Hanz On. Both tracks run with a healthy and firmly distinctive New York overtone. With no release date for Meth Lab 2:The Lithium as of yet, these two music videos will have to keep you Method Man fans entertained until more information is revealed about the Wu-Tang martial expert's forthcoming LP.
