London’s DJ, producer & artist DJ Enme is the latest UK talent to go international.

While running his own Sumting New / Blitz organizations on the home front, he is signed with California’s La Dubstep Nostra imprint, making him labelmates with the legendary Cypress Hill & Soul Assassins producer DJ Muggs.

Currently working on a new dubstep album planned for global release in 2012, he also draws on his background in hip hop, rap & grime, best represented here in the single “Hustler”

Almost exactly a year ago, Genesis Elijah released his collaboration album with UK production duo Krate Krusaders “Before I Was Famous”.

Not the type to hang around, on the 1st of January 2011 he released the first of what would be many new videos and internet singles, all of which can be seen at his youtube channel “GenesisElijahTV”. He also released his mixtape “I Aint Even Charging Bruv” while working on his new forthcoming album.

The consistency of output increased over recent months as he got himself a new video camera and put a series of freestyles and singles together, released something new almost every 2 – 3 weeks, the most recent of which is this new video for “My Truth” which is taken from a new EP “Painkillers & Pilkington” (a reference to An Idiot Abroad’s Karl Pilkington)

Appropriately, on My Truth, he samples dialogue from Pilkington’s colleagues on the show Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant to spell out his motivation and thoughts.

The Brixton MC, now based in Watford, is easily one of the hardest workin in the game.

Try and keep up with what he’s doing by regularly checking his twitter @GenesisElijah his website www.genesiselijah.net and his Facebook www.facebook.com/genesiselijahmusic

While working on his debut album “The Revival”, he dropped the single “Simple”, and this year’s mixtapes “Escape to Reality” and his collaboration with French producer Shaolin 42nd Chamber on “The Warrior & The Blacksmith”

Ahead of the release of his album, pushed back to 2012, his new mixtape, “Montu Arts” is a 7 track hip hop banger, produced by DJ Vital. Its now available for free download from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QBOGBSI7

Taken from it is “Dont Sleep”, and the new video shot by Global Faction has just been released. Fans of those classic head – noddin beats and tight rhymes & wordplay also need to check out “For the Kids”, “Warriors” & “The Elements”. Proper business!

Ed Andrews of Huck Magazine has also started an excellent new online quarterly magazine dedicated to stories of hip hop “Take The Stage”

The publication, obviously dedicated to hip hop, looks to get the views, news and stories from key figures on the scene who have developed over the years or have just come up, for a better understanding of how they developed their careers and an insight to what’s happening in the scene generally.

Its a departure from the usual reviews and guest features for a more in depth look behind the scenes, and can act as a useful reference point for new aspiring artists to learn from those who have achieved recognition

Issue 2 has just been released to the internet and features Scroobius Pip, DJ Sarah Love, Dr Syntax, Slug and The Last Skeptik
