YEAH! Last week Dot Rotten's new album Voices in my Head was finally released thanks to Universal Records. Before the entire album was released, four singles had been premièred for over a year; firstly Keep It On a Low, second Are You Not Entertained?, thirdly Overload and lastly my personal favourite from the hip-hop side of the album, Karmageddon. The album is strongly hip-hop orientated; but in classic Dot Rotten style features his signature grime, beautifully mixed in between the hearty and soulful 'hop of most tracks. This is seriously seen in the first release of the [...]
Dot Rotten is another UK-based artist that I wish to introduce to the viewers of EARMILK. The British rapper is from Stockwell, London and is best known as a grime artist over in the UK. Dot is currently signed to Mercury Records (a subsidy of Universal ), who have somewhat changed his style as they bid to make him a mainstream success. [...]
True Tiger (Sukh Knight, DJ Stanza, Gowers and Blue Bear) have just returned from destroying the main stage at award winning Outlook Festival in Croatia. Fresh off the boat, still in their shorts and sunnies, they have dropped their brand new free EP, Eye of the Tiger Volume.2 (released through their new label, Stripes Records). It’s FREE for crying out loud. And full of bangers. So just head over to the True Tiger Facebook page, ‘Like’ the damn thing and get your downloading game on.

West Yorkshire's Lunar C showing again that he's more than just a battle rapper. We been f***ing with West Yorkshire & Sinoptic for a minute now , and it's dope to see Lunar get some big country-wide attention, demonstrated by Dot Rotten on the hook and a video presented by SB.TV. I still want to see him over some HashFinger though.

With the third part of ' Deep Lyrics, Dirty Beats ' available for free download on 4th September in association with SBTV, hotly-tipped Byron teams up with two of the underground's most exciting artists for lead single 'Secrets .' ‘Secrets ’ sees former English teacher Byron Chadwick hook up with Ghetts and BBC Sound of 2012 nominee, Dot Rotten, for a stark warning about betrayal and deceit, all too familiar in 21st century suburban Britain. With a razor sharp wit, colorful flows and knack for honest story telling, ' Secrets ' is as gritty as you've [...]
O hip-hop já não é mais o mesmo. Depois do aparecimento de trocentos subgênros, o estilo vem passando por tantas mudanças e inovações que está se tornando quase que irreconhecível. Dot Rotten por exemplo, mistura o hip-hop tradicional com o grime (que é uma denominação especificamente de Londres para o gênero que utiliza batidas aceleradas semelhantes ao breakbeat, com pitadas de dancehall e garage). Difícil entender né? Para facilitar um pouco, tente imaginar um hip-hop meio sinfônico, com batidas eletrônicas e abarrotado de efeitos sonoros. Essa coisa linda carrega consigo o estigma dos subúrbios Londrinos, da vida e [...]
W hy this track was not made available online sooner I do not know because I have been gagging to share this track because it is by far the best remix of this commercial chart topper by rapper, producer and songwriter @ItsDotRotten featuring the production skills of the former Breakfastaz boys, @TMSLDN . 'Overload' is the tune and it has been extremely well supported by radio airwaves royalty. I personally am not an overwhelmed fan of the original track due to my personal hatred for the massively [...]
dot rotten - overload feat tms [he had me at the robert miles sample! this track has been buzzing since march and it looked primed to do some serious damage on the charts. weirdly it hasn't been released yet... keep it alive by pressing play yo!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
Grime is one genre that was can all safely say is on the rise, and very successfully so, in the UK. Recently we've seen mainstream success from the likes of Dot Rotten and Clement Marfo and the Frontline , and the latest protégé to emerge on the scene is Pyrelli , who embraces heavy grime with an equally melodic nature. Doing Just Fine features a repetitive female sample which prevents Doing Just Fine being overtly masculine and takes this track to a level where it could be embraced on airwaves without alienating the mainstream. The video [...]
A marger looking Bashy appoints Dot Rotten, Lady Leshurr and Black The Ripper for one off his upcoming EP, The Great Escape . Freebie mp3 below. Bashy - Heart of Stone feat. Dot Rotten, Black The Ripper & Lady Leshurr
Dot Rotten's been making a lot of noise recently, getting exposure in the Guardian and his video for Are You Not Entertained doing the rounds. My Life Story is a leak from the Stockwell MC's upcoming Love, War, Rock & Roll and it sounds like he might just be able to toe that thin line between unforgiving grime and all-out pop.
Having received massive critical acclaim in 2011 and heralded as "One To Watch", The MC and Producer from South London Dot Rotten shows us what he's made of in "Are You Not Entertained". Having received massive support from industry legends such as Zane Lowe and Tim Westwood, and already toured with Dappy from N-Dubz , Dot Rotten will be a name we're bound to hear frequently throughout 2012.

Dot Rotten Dot Rotten found himself on the BBC Sound Of 2012 the other week - while he didn't make the top 5, it was still a fairly big achievement for a grime MC, even in a post-Dizzee and Wiley world. In interviews, he seems refreshingly unconcerned with what his underground peers are going to make of his move overground - and the sheer number of mixtapes he released between 2008 and last year is testament to the work he's been putting in. He's just released the video for new single 'Are You [...]
The UK's publicly owned BBC have announced the lineup for their choice of who's going to be big and have full playlist support from them in 2012. Being the most listened to radio station and having huge online and TV presence - this is quite a big deal for the winner. The lineup is really interesting, from folk to dubstep and also holding some familiar names... [cough] Skrillex [cough] ... with others still awaiting the limelight. The rules sate that the winner can't of had a UK top 20 before November and also they can't be previously [...]
Cher Lloyd da molti non viene vista con occhi positivi. Nonostante non abbia sfornato l'album del secolo, io trovo invece il suo personaggio molto valido e, considerando la sua età, mi viene facile immaginare scenari futuri pieni di evoluzioni gradevoli. Il nuovo singolo "Dub On The Track" (ft. Mic Righteous, Dot Rotten), video compreso, è uno dei motivi che mi spinge ad affermare quanto detto. La strafottenza, il ghigno da cattiva, il carisma, quella faccia così espressiva tanto da rendere bello un video monotono, senza spunti e la capacità di destreggiarsi tra pop e pseudo-rap sono tutti [...]
Still not quite sure what the song title means, but video looks great. Video directed by Paris Zarcilla. Buy "Dub On The Track" : iTunes UK | iTunes US

It may come as a surprise for regular readers to see us featuring Dot Rotten in our Ones to Watch for 2012. After all this blog is hardly upfront when it comes to rap and grime. However, having expanded this list from the past previous ten to fifteen artists this year, it does give us the small opportunity to widen our net a little and put forward at least one act from a genre not featured heavily on the blog. Having said that, in terms of commercial rap music Rizzle Kicks regularly featured over the last year, the [...]
In the video for his polished, pop-appealing, down-low paper-stacking anthem "Keep It on a Low," major label South London rapper Dot Rotten literally goes to a paper stacking factory. Can everybody do this from now ... read more
