Yo whats up people? It’s that time again, every 7 days I pick a tune to be my track of the week, giving it a prominent spot on my blog. So for the w/c February 26 my Track of the week comes from none other than the Godfather of Grime Wiley, and is the single & video ‘Evolve Or Be Extinct’ taken from the album of the same name.
Eskiboy Wiley has found success in recent times by venturing in to different genres, but to me there is nothing Wiley sounds better on than his own unique form of Grime production he coined ‘Eskibeat’. Raising the bar once again Wiley spits lyrics with a machine gun flow, sitting perfectly on his updated signature production. One of the things I’ve always liked about Wiley’s beats is their bubbly vibe, making you want to dance and buss a skank, which is not always the case with other Grime productions. As always please leave your comments and opinions below.

Hey peeps whats good? back again on Creamo World Blog for probably only the second time in 2012. I would like to apologise for the lack of updates, but I’ve been busy trying to handle a number of things. OK, so that’s the formalities out the way, now it’s time to bring you the niceness as always, and today I’m bringing you the 1st edition of Courtney Dennie’s Night Sessions.
In my last blog post ( Creamo Video Diary11) I talked about being present at the video shoot for Kaseem Bars “Love Theme”, which featured the soulful vocals of none other than the man himself, Courtney Dennie. After the video shoot we all kicked back had a little talk, then started jamming in the studio. Wanting to catch the creativity in motion, Big Storks the video director for the shoot, decided to capture Courtney doing some vocal acrobatics over a slow Jazzy type beat, and producer of the track “Love Theme” OB, doing a smooth rap; He edited it up, and presented it to us as the 1st edition of Courtney Dennie’s – ‘Night Sessions’.
Check it out the video & share your comments, & views below.

CREAMO VIDEO DIARY11: KASEEM BARS ‘LOVE THEME’ VIDEO SHOOT
Creamo AKA Eskcreamo, The Siberian Poet returns with another edition of his video diary. Part 11 sees Creamo taking a day out over the Notting Hill Carnival weekend, to show support for up & coming South London Rapper Kaseem Bars, who was filming his first ever video for his forthcoming track ‘Love Theme’.
The shoot was based in a studio in North London, where majority of footage was captured, with a few shoots in other near by locations. It was a nice fun day that was wrapped up with celebratory sip of some rum.
Wass good Twisciples, Facers, Spacers, and Pressers; The day started with the producer of ‘Love Theme’ OB, sliding by my house to pick me up real early around 8:00 am. I’m not really a morning person, and ended up staying up most of the night getting my stuff ready and grooming. After picking me up we headed off to Brixton to collect my ex- group member and school friend Courtney Dennie, who supplied the soultry vocals for the chorus, and the bridge on the rack ‘Love Theme’. While waiting for the multi- talented vocalist to arrive I decided to have a few minute shut eye. Once Courtney had arrived we flew down to Clapham Junction to meet, the author of ‘Love Theme’ Kaseem Bars, & Video director & Streetz Incarcerated head honcho Stix.

Waking up early in order to make sure we were on time, meant that most of us missed breakfast so we stopped off & got ourselves some McDonald’s breakfast, before starting the two car convoy from south London to North, where we picked up of Loopy.
Once we hit the studio we all kicked back vibes for bit, while the video director Stix, scoped out the venue for different scenes for the video shoot.
We had a discussion about music game and what, and where we see things going in the future, until Stix was ready to start filming.
Beginning shot started with Stix capturing Kaseem Bars writing some lyrics on a notepad, then getting behind a mic to start his verse. Obviously I don’t want to give away too much of the what happened, as I don’t want to spoil your viewing the video for the first time, but there were a few performance shots, based around the inside, and outside of the studio, & I made a little cameo, whether it will make cut is too be seen.
So it’s just left for the director to edit it up, & put the finishing touches the video and hopefully it be online for you all to check soon..
