Jam Hot: Week 33

Post categories: ,Ìý,Ìý

Mistajam | 11:52 UK time, Monday, 11 August 2008

Every week I pick one record which isn't just hot, it's Jam Hot and I play it every day on the show.Week 33 of 2008 and the honour goes to a UK emcee who's been bubbling under for a good while now - will this record cross him over? Professor Green "Just Be Good To Me"



A nice excuse to post this photo that Producer Kasey found of a young Pro Green in 2003 when he passed through the old 1Xtra studios

• Professor Green first came to prominence as a battle emcee, 8 Mile style, taking out opponents with his freestyle ability and precise dissing skills
• In his career he won over 100 battles and broke records becoming the first and only rapper to win at MC battle mecca The Jump Off 7 weeks in a row, completing the feat twice. He also represented at the Power Summit $50k battle in the Bahamas, losing out to favourite Jin in the final after beating many other of America, and the Worlds, top MCs.
• He was signed by Mike Skinner from The Streets' label 'The Beats' after putting out his own mixtape 'Lecture #1' and was working on his debut album until the label went under at the start of the year - but after a stint presenting on our sister station Radio 1 as one of their In New DJ's we trust - he's back behind the mic and has been back in the studio
• Just Be Good To Me is his current offering and was a former exclusive on this show. It's an update of the Beats International/SOS Band classic and is Jam Hot this week.

He'll be passing through the studio on Thursday to PA the track and tell us what's to come!
