Nicki Minaj is a female rap artist from New York and is signed to Lil Wayne's record label Young Money Entertainment. She has had collaborated with massive artists such as Lil Wayne and Drake.
Girls Fall like Dominoes is Nicki's latest single and use a sample from the song Dominoes by the Big Pink released in 2009, I say uses a sample, the song basically is her rapping over the verses and the chorus and the main tune are the same as the original.
Even though this is a good song and i can see radio dj's and nightclubs playing this song over and over i cannot hide away from the simple fact that the original was a huge tune i feel it has been ruined. But as she is such a big artist i can see this song being MASSIVE!!
This is not the Official video but its the best i could find.
Twenty Twenty - 'Love To Life'
Twenty Twenty are a Pop/Rock band from London and are made up of 3 members two of which are brothers. They formed in 2009 and released their first studio album in 2011 but have previously had a few singles including, Get Down and Worlds apart.
Love to Life is their latest single to be released and has the usual Twenty Twenty sound. If your not sure what that sound is it's a very pop, melodic sounding guitar tracks with good verses and choruses to sing along to. The only difference with this song is that they sound like they are trying to develop as a band from being a cheesy pop rock band to being an anthemic pop/rock band such as You Me At Six. They aren't there yet but a bit of work and they could be.
With all this said I'm not sure whether this track could enter the top 10 in the charts but i still fell that it is very good and worth a few listens.
Wretch 32 feat Example - Unorthodox
Wretch 32 is a grime artist from London who is well known for his first single Traktor which got to number 5 in the UK singles chart in January 2011. But before this he was a part of The Movement which featured other London based grime artists, Devlin and Scorcher.
Unorthodox is his second single and features London based singer/rapper Example, It features a sample of The Stone Roses song Fools Gold which takes up the backing tune. As an upcoming artist Wretch 32 is talking about being Unorthodox, Being different and not following others, which i think he is trying do as an artist. The song is a quality catchy Hip Hop track which you could chill out and listen to as well as put on at a party and have a good time to.
With the combination of this up and coming artist and the vocals of example this track is Massive and will be fighting the competition to try and get to the top of the charts which i think it can.
