RIP my berry, we will miss u

So its with great sadness that I have to announce my beloved partner and soulmate, blackberry curve, is no longer with us. After an unfortunate incident where I left it in the corner store whilst buying a bottle of water and by the time id driven back round the block to get some little scamp had nabbed it. We had a good meaningful relationship together and now its gone I feel like im not really here, like it’s a dream and im just looking in… I have no number and can only get to my emails via a pc, theres a rumour that various females across the country celebrated the news, the only good point is it tickles me to think of some scroat prank calling half of the UK black music scene from my address book. Oh, by the way, if I catch ya your gonna get a slap.

Jay Z tour

So we on day 5 of this jay Z tour. A looootttt of drivin. We in glasgow tonight, aberdeen 2moro. It was nuts, drivin up scotland is so beautiful its like something out of a movie and then u hit glasgow and its a complete shit hole high rises and empty streets.
The tours been good fun manchester last night was like 9000 people which was nuts, (were used to doin performances for 200 people) kanye came through and performed too. Were yet to actually meet jay Z, theres this on tour status thing were jay z gets kept away from everyone else then there's ronson and crew, then there's us, today we got told to hang outside in the cars till we go on... Yeah right, we went in ate there free food and hung out. Its been a good look tho and people seem to know us and the remix everywhere we go. We gotta a little street team give out babyfood flyers and condoms too with pickets and stuff. Life on the road.

Ruffnek video shoot

So I been workin on the new video to my next single from babyfood called 'ruffnek set the trend' it was meant to be a performance shoot in this club with a band (patchwork grace) who were pretending to play the track (its got a bit of a punk vibe so we tryin to get that look) but basically million dan (star no.1 in the video) had problems pickin up his rental and was 2hrs late down to the shoot and star no.2 tawiah who sings the hook ate a dodgy pizza the night before and spent the mornin throwing up so couldn't come down at all. So... We decided to scrap the idea and use the idea we had for the video for the farma G track on my album doin morph like (if u old enough to remember morph) animation to tell the story and use the performance stuff as a cut away shot. So we made these plastercine models of me million dan and tawiah and painted background scenes. It was mad fun I even got us doin syncronised dance routines. Gonna look a bit next when it comes out so it'll either be all over mtv or hidden somewhere on youtube. Send a link up here as soon as its done. Word to the million morph.

O2 festival

Just got back from the o2 wireless fest at hyde park. Performin with mark ronson and jay z was headlining. Was nuts and good fun even though the tour manager made wait outside for 2hrs before bringing us our passes! It was a who's who of uk music I bumped heads with adele, lilly allen, kano, wiley (who absolutely smacked it) cool kids, david jordan and dizzie rascal who was just down there on a promo tip even tho he's no.1 in the charts and best of all the lead singer of the charlatans, I was quite star stuck, we was all into the charlatans at school. We about to do the whole jayZ tour with mark so that should be good. Very tired and I got stuff to do early before head back to london again. 1up

Free condoms!

So I just got 10,000 condoms (not for personal use, well, not all of them) with my stickers on from fusion cause of this safe sex track I've done with wariko rukus and alex blood. Unfortunatly they're flavoured (chocolate, banana and strawberry) which is a bit next. I don't think I wanna mix my dinner with my sex life... Well, maybe...
Anyway if u need. Holla at ur boy I got the no baby hook up!

So I'm on the shoot for my boy dynamite mcs new track 'its the weekend'. The tracks fire, proper summertime vibe produced by yours truly and hook vocals by Ruby. I think its going out around sept time so ill post a link as soon as he let's me. Its hot as hell in here and they got all these guys in skin tight blue lycra suits so the can carry things and cut them out of shot later - not a good look, u gotta be confident in ur manhood to wear one of the suits boy.
Also got the shout from island to do some bits for the new sugababes album which is nuts so need to get back up to derby to do some shit. O2 wireless festival tomorrow with ronson and jay Z. Gonna be nutty nuts.
