Jam Hot: Week 19

Post categories: ,Μύ,Μύ,Μύ,Μύ

Mistajam | 12:04 UK time, Tuesday, 6 May 2008

Every week on my show, I choose one record that isn't just hot, it's JAM HOT and I play it every day. This week the honour goes to one of the UK's hottest emcees with the swagger and lyrics to back up the hype:
Chipmunk - Muhammad Ali

Who is Chipmunk?
• Carlton Banks aka Chipmunk is an emcee from North London
• He was part of the original Eskibeat Recordings line up brought through by Wiley but has since moved on. He's part of the Alwayz Recording family alongside Vertex, Frisco, Wretch 32 and Double S and has his own crew called Circular Movements.
• Regarded as one of the grime scene's best young talents - he had released 3 mixtapes of his own by the age of 16.
• He's currently studying for his accounting, drama and sociology A Levels while working on his forthcoming debut album which his myspace friends have named "I Am Chipmunk"
• His name is on the lips of many other tastemaking deejays such as Ras Kwame, DJ Cameo, Ace & Vis, Logan Sama and even Westwood where he seems to be a regular fixture on his sunday night 1Xtra show!

What is Muhammad Ali?

• This is apparently the first single to come from Chippy's forthcoming debut album
• It sees Chipmunk compare himself on the mic to the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali in the ring
• It's due to be released at some point over the next couple of months!

Make sure you check my show on Friday 9th May - Chipmunk will be passing through the studio to give us a live performance of Muhammad Ali and I may even coax him into dropping a couple of freestyles.
