In conjunction with its new #Rap campaign, TikTok has debuted a new three-part series called Oi TikTok.

As JD Sports support Oi TikTok, each show will feature interviews and performances by established and emerging artists. The program will also feature comedy shorts. In addition to bringing their own ‘Crep-Cam’ to the show, the retailer will bring many familiar faces from the U.K. music scene.

The series features TikTok star Moyo and DJ Ellie Prohan as hosts, with SwitchOTR and Dreya Mac as special guests. In addition to the debut episode, two more shows will be produced and co-created by industry heavyweights Out Since Tuesday. Dréya’s TikTok channel will air all of them.

The Popularity Of Oi TikTok Is Growing

A popular platform’s evergreen genre hashtag received more than 83.5 million views. Moreover, it has become a place where music fans can discover the best artists, cultures, accounts, and content.

Created by Digga D, Russ Millions currently run the site. Also, AJ Tracey, Aitch, Young Adz, and Tia Carys have all made appearances to celebrate everything rap on the site.

Artist Manager at TikTok, Parris OH, said “We’ve been thrilled by the response to our new #Rap campaign—the fresh freestyles, the banter, the vibes and more, and our community has loved every minute of it.

Parris continues,

“We wanted to take this even further to bring a new kind of entertainment to our TikTok community, celebrating UK Rap culture with some of the best young talents in the business, alongside the team at JD Sports. We’ve got some exciting plans coming up, with some big surprises that we’re confident Rap fans will love.”

The episodes are available here. It is interesting to note that TikTok is experimenting with its platform in some exciting ways. We wish this site an incredible amount of success in its future endeavors.

#FMSpotlight: Cherie Jones is making noise from across the pond

Post author By FMHiphopWriters
Post date November 2, 2017

A soulful singer is stirring up noise in the music scene across the pond. Cherie Jones is from East London, and I’ve been keeping up with her sound ever since I saw her featured on Hearst’s digital project Sweet on SnapChat’s Discover back in January 2016.

Jones performed her original song, Hoops, on Huw Stephens Presents — Sweet Sessions. XO and Josh Record produced Hoops. Yes, Record is his real last name.

During the sit-down session with the BBC Radio 1 host, Huw Stephens, Jones said Hoops is about one person putting more into a relationship than the other. The lyrics sound like we’ve all experienced this at one point and time in our lives … right? “I got to jump through hoops to get to get to you.”

Jones’ performance was accompanied by an electric guitar, which I prefer over her completed track on SoundCloud.

Jones natural beauty pairs beautifully with her raw talent. Her voice, like her personality, is soft and soulful. Her style has a hint of the 1980s and early 1990s with her hi-waisted, loose-fitting mom jeans, tank top, and half messy bun. And these days’s she’s been sporting glitter.

Jones’ addition of sparkle to her wardrobe is something to be celebrated. Her debut album, New Skin, hit airwaves in 2016 and she’s also making rounds at music festivals like SXSW and Eurosonic.

Currently, Jones is managed by Tileyard Music. And according to her Facebook page, she signed with the independent label 37 Adventures / BMG Publishing on October 12, 2015.

Tileyard website describes Jones’ sound as “electro-R&B.” And she’s been collaborating with several UK-based producers with the likes of Two Inch Punch, Tourist, Rodaidh McDonald and Honne.

If you’d like to keep up with Jones, you can find her on Spotify, Soundcloud, the Gram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Dear Ms. Jones,

Word on the street is that you’re supposed to grace us with new music in Fall 2017. Well, winter is coming, and I’m patiently waiting.

Also, it would be nice if you and Childish Gambino, collaborated on one of his tracks. I hear he’s hanging out in music studios somewhere in London. It turns out the UK is an inspiration to his music.

Sincerely,

TC’s Views

#FreshJuice Da Flyy Hooligan – Yamata No Orochi (Wu Baby 2) | @daflyyhooligan

Post date October 27, 2016

Hailing all the way from the UK, Da Flyy Hooligan has a delicious flavor for words that are overflowing with charismatic delivery. A member of many movements and associated with the likes of Sean Price (RIP), Westside Gunn & Conway, plus more recently DV Alias Khryst. DFH is proof that dopeness does exist in the UK. It’s only right we back up the claims by releasing yet another sure shot from the Flyy Ones’ catalog.

“Yamata no Orochi (Wu Baby 2)” is a follow up to “Wu Baby,” which was released in August on the GourmetDeluxxx™ Soundcloud. It is also DFH paying homage to his roots and influences in hiphop, that is non other than Wu Tang Clan along with his 2 most favourite emcees, Raekwon the Chef & Ghostface Killah.

Still poised to be releasing the debut album, SCUM: Supreme Cut Untouched Magnificence in the last quarter of 2016, DFH will be putting six his tracks from the GDXXX Soundcloud (with a few exclusives) onto physical copies as an official release titled Ray Winstone.
