Some of you won’t move and love rappers or stick by the singers. If you’re kinda stuck on one genre you are missing out. Check out this slick line-up and then make up your mind. The recent #TargetsNoticeBoard battles were huge!
‘DJ Target‘ chose 8 unique artists, home grown right here in the UK.

4 Rappers battled 4 singers with a series of outstanding performances accompanied by a full live band ‘The Rebels‘ and DJ Melody Kane on the decks!
This was a unique music session held in the ‘BBC Maida Vale Vale Studios‘. After watching the battles you can see why they’ve been chosen as the final contenders.
So many great artists that have been represented at the BBC Maida Vale studio’s have gone on to bigger and better things.

Hats off to all the massive fresh talent seen in the battles here, representing the UK. Congratulations to all who took part, you were all wicked. #dwfMedia

Killing it for dwfMedia from the ‘Singers’ team was the beautiful ‘Relo‘ damn she got soul. Summertime windows down, cruising is here ‘Relo‘ singing ‘Stay Here‘ did it for me.

On the ‘Rappers’ side I agree with the judges. Really kicking out some smooth lyrics keeping it real, rapping about real life situations covering a huge variation of subject matters.
I really can’t get enough of ‘Truemendous‘

If this was put on as a ‘Live Lounge Maida Vale Session’ CD I’d be first in-line to buy it.
