During the long workweek, I spend a good portion of my day sitting in front of a computer listening to music while I get my work on. As the weekend approaches and the minute's stretch into hours, I catch myself gradually shifting in my seat into an awkward reclining position that almost makes it impossible to sit my body back upright. When coffee doesn't suffice and Red Bull's aren't within reach, I find that it's extremely important to listen to music that will keep me energized and alert throughout the day. Today's playlist is dedicated to this [...]

Last week, Gordon Smart was treating Hulk Hogan like he was still an important cultural force. Turns out Gordon's still trapped in 1986 as today it's Vanilla Ice . Gordon nods as Ice talks about his comeback tour: The rapper is gearing up for his comeback tour and says: "I want to hit arenas and really put on a big show. I want lasers, pyros and all that stuff, a huge production." I suspect this hasn't been run past Ice's accountant. I say "accountant", I mean his nephew who's got Excel on his computer. [...]

Soul Assassins presents: DJ Muggs ft. Dizzee Rascal & Bambu - Snap Ya Neck Back (Behind the Scenes) From DJ Muggs' upcoming album "Bass For Your Face" Behind the scenes video directed by Eric Thompson for PushOneStop www.SoulAssassins.com

You'd be forgiven for thinking that after Maths & English Dizzee Rascal gave up trying altogether. But after collaborating with Calvin Harris and Shakira, then cementing his position as a pop rapper with half a heart and sterling signs for eyeballs, it seems like the fuse got lit once again (check his verse on Bluku Bluku! for evidence). Whether any proceeding album follows suit remains to be seen, but this mixtape is a flagrant move back to basics alongside his Dirtee Stank brethren. [...]

The UK rap pioneer kicks off the new year with a free mixtape .
Happy new year all dear readers! Like you probably noticed First Up! took a break during the holidays and we're skipping out on the best of-lists and the year end-recaps this year. Internet is over flooded by all those lists anyway and personally I can't digest another one even if I do live writing them. [...]

Joe writes: The backing track alone is good enough to make We Found Love a hit, something that could also be said of Dance Wiv Me by Dizzee Rascal, Calvin Harris and Chrome. Rihanna's video is rather better though.

As any return visitors know, I'm very into Florence & The Machine. Florence Welch just does it for my ears. Her voice is like none other. Her charm undoubtable and her animal magneticism is in full effect. She is woman and we can all hear her roar. Here's a collection of new and old, remix, covers and live songs from the lovely Ms. Florence Welch. Take Care - Florence & The Machine - Drake Cover - Our girl, Flo, decided to cover Drake's new single ft Rihanna, Take Care. It is [...]
Spotify had a brief outage Sunday , just days ahead of their " Big Announcement " on Wednesday . Music marketing options like this Gorillaz 10th Anniversary page may be part of the update. That same night Spotify is celebrating with a second 'user only' gig in their London series with Gruff Rhys (The Super Furry Animals) and Josh T Pearson. Is Sweden selling its music-makers for a song? Swedish songwriters are up in arms after politician Annie Lööf suggested illegal downloads be legitimised [...]
![[Listen] DJ Muggs x Dizzee Rascal - "Snap Ur Neck Back"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3852715_lg.jpg)
On paper this was not what I expected at all from a collaboration between DJ Muggs and Dizzee Rascal . Whatever I thought it would be, this isn't it. I'm confused, but I kind of like it. Last night along with that dope ass new PABH track , Zane Lowe and Radio One premiered this bass heavy track from Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs that features a bar or two from Dizzee Rascal. The result is a track that would happily sit on a pre-party/party playlist to get things rolling. Nobody dancing? No sweat, stick this on and watch [...]
