Currently releasing a series of freestyle videos and exclusive new tracks, this comes ahead of the launch of the final instalment in the EP Trilogy “I Came I Saw”. The new EP includes further videos and new special footage which will be seen over the coming months, all leading up to the release of his new single “I Get Busy”

Three is the magic number for this Kilburn MC, now based in the south Bronx.

The 3rd & final part of his video documentary has just gone live to the internet.

Part 1 documents his work within a New York label, which also features Steve Rifkind, Yelawolf and he freestyles for Wu Tang’s RZA

Part 2 again shows him behind the scenes working in the label, and he speaks on the balance between his job there and furthering his career as an independent artist

Part 3 shows us a typical day in his life, how he manages his time between his “day job” and stayin on the grind, with some exclusive footage of him performing at Think Pink Rocks in 2010 and behind the scenes footage of his video shoot for “I Get Busy”

He has just launched the first new single from the EP “I Came I Saw Vol 3”. Featuring NYC’s singer Shareen Amour, “I Told You So” is a statement of intent from Jamieson that his grind on both sides of the Atlantic will continue to make 2012 his best year yet.

New UK Single & Video – Jamieson – Ways To Get Ahead

Kilburn’s Jamieson, now based in the South Bronx, NYC, follows up his tribute to his hometown “London Freestyle” with the new single & video “Ways to Get Ahead”.

Taken from the final instalment of his Mixtape Trilogy “I Came I Saw”, the track chronicles the journey he’s taken from his days as part of UK hip hop duo Twisted Thoughts with K.I.L.L.A.G.R.A.M. to his move over to the States and the work he’s been putting in since arriving there in 2007.

From the launch of his Foreign Exchange mixtape hosted by DJ Whoo Kid, he’s enjoyed regular support from DJ Booth, XXL, 2 Dope Boys, This Is 50, Hip Hop Dx and a wide range of other key tastemakers across the country. Working with artists Joell Ortiz, Sean Price, Skyzoo and receiving co:signs from Yelawolf, RZA and B-Real, there’s little doubt this London born & bred MC has been packing in a mountain of work, and “Ways To Get Ahead” documents the grind.

The mixtape launches soon ahead of his brand new single “I Get Busy”, set for international release in the
Spring

London’s Jamieson, formerly known as Killagram, has been making some big moves since his relocation to the States some years back.

Starting off as a young producer in Kilburn, he formed the duo “Twisted Thoughts” with longtime sparring partner K.I.N.E.T.I.K. Having been on the grind in the UK’s underground for a number of years, an offer of work in New York saw him up sticks and make New York’s South Bronx his current home

He wasn’t slow in getting his game on over there. In 2007 he released The Foreign Exchange mixtape hosted by DJ Whoo Kid before putting together plans for his “I Came I Saw” trilogy series of mixtapes

2010 saw the release of Volume 1, launched via DJBooth.net with features from Skyzoo and Emilio Rojas. This was followed up in 2011 by Volume 2 with further features from Sean Price, Samuel and Joell Ortiz.

He’s not been slack on the live front – performing 2 years running at Think Pink Rocks, opening for Melanie Fiona, Sean Kingston & Akon, and in 2011 opening for Mobb Deep at SOB’s for Hot 97’s “Who’s Next” series.

With public endorsements from artists such as RZA, Yelawolf & B-Real, and key media such as XXL, ThisIs50, Hiphopdx, The Hip Hop Chronicle and 2Dopeboyz, he returned to London recently to film the new video for “London (freestyle). This is a taster from the final instalment of the “I Came I Saw” mixtape trilogy which will be released in the coming months.

The mixtape will be released in advance of his new single “I Get Busy” which is set to kick start a big year for Jamieson on both sides of the Atlantic.
