OH SHIT!!!!!
Teeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmppppzzzzz!!!
Ok now that I've got that out my system, those of you that follow my blog knew this was coming after the JME post a few days ago.
This song has become the song that UK DJs play to get a club pumped.
Everyone screams the line "Won't get none of your CDs back".
I know all the words to this grime anthem and when the alcohol is flowing and this comes on I go nuts, skank out hard and spit Tempz' furious bars at the top of my voice.
Let's not beat about the bush, Tempz is fundamentally a rubbish grime MC when compared with the likes of Kano, Wiley, Skepta, Ghetts and Devlin, but for this song and this song alone he has earned himself grime immortality.
The video - WOW!
Tim Westwood at the beginning and his par table always crack me up, and then Tempz just goes off.
I love how low-rent the whole thing is - set on an estate, fake fighting, Tempz working out in the gym and they couldn't even afford an HDTV to match the line in the song - classic.
You've got to give it to Tempz for looking like a hench, scary mofo you wouldn't cross, but then at the same time sporting a high-top fade, a Pars R' Us t-shirt and skanking out like someone's just jabbed him with a shot of adrenaline.

Daily Smooth: Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank)
I stumbled upon Kendrick Lamar from some of his features on songs like "The City" by the Game and "A1 Everything" by Meek Mill.
His rapid-fire flow and clever lyricism impressed me, so when I heard that he was set to release his major label debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, I had to check out its lead single.
Swimming Pools is a synth-bass laden, laid back hip-hop song, with a catchy hook.
Kendrick's insane flow really comes into play in the second and third verses.
I'm keen to hear the rest of good kid, m.A.A.d city - it drops later this month so keep an eye out for it.

Daily Heavy: Aiden - Die Romantic
Who remembers when emo was in vogue and bands like My Chemical Romance, Aiden and Fall Out Boy were the flavour of the month?
Amazing to think that this was in full flow about 7 years ago - key releases like Aiden's Nightmare Anatomy came out in 2005 along with the phenomenal From Under The Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy.
Today is my favourite Aiden song from Nightmare Anatomy.
Die Romantic is the song that introduced me to Aiden and has a killer intro riff and breakdown.
The video is so typically emo it's become somewhat of a checklist for what an emo band video should look like:
Dyed black hair, obscene fringes, black nail varnish, a tramp, playing contrasting white and black guitars outside a church, the signature emo guitar flip and fringe headbang, angst-ridden teenagers, copious amounts of facepaint and eye shadow, breakdown camera (this is when the camera shakes like there's an earthquake going off during the heavy bit), suicide, oh and Wil Francis wearing bondage gear.
This really is a product of its time - enjoy!

Daily Ghetto: JME - CD Is Dead
JME is part of the UK's biggest grime crew at the moment, Boy Better Know.
This song pairs him with the infamous Tempa T (don't worry, Next Hype will be posted later this week!)
JME goes hard on this track, his signature machine gun like flow tears through the heavy beat.
Tempz does what he does best - skanks out hard in the video and shouts "CLEAR! SMASH!" sporadically towards the end.
Expect to see more from JME and the rest of the BBK crew on this blog - Skepta, Wiley and Frisco songs will be coming soon.
Don't get parred DERKHEAD!
