Kano Mercedes Benz Advert



The Advert was filmed in Portugal, Porto and Lisbon where Kano and film actress Wendy Glenn are being chased by the old bill. The campaign called #YOUDRIVE was to give voters the opertunity to decide Via Twitter, what route they should take with tweet: #evede or #hide. According to  Abbot Mead Vickerse and Maxus the campaign was designed to promote the car to a younger, second-screen savvy audience. According to GRM Daily the TV audience were unsure about who was in the advert as many thought it was actor Noel ClarkeThe shooting Photography was done by Anthony Mantle who has worked on projects such as Slum Dog Millionaire, 28 Day's Later, 127 Hours and The Last King Of Scotland. The story directed by Yann Demange From London, who has also worked with Britney Spears and Eric Clapton. Kano is From the same grime scene that  artists such as Wiley, Dizzee Rascal and others emerged from, Kano coming from East London with that cheeky character  music quality and the pedigree to unleash his insight on grime tracks. It's refreshing to see an artist from the councils and high crime rate areas of the UK appearing in new media, this gives an example to what grime has done for so many. Anything is possible for Kano maybe even a new Black Taxi Video to promote mini cabs? who knows, but one we thing we doubt is Kano getting a Routine Check by the police  or refusing to pay the cab fair ever again seen as advertisement pays well.

Wiley - The Ascent Album Review

Wiley The Ascent Album Review
Every one has been saying When is Wiley The Ascent album out? well the confirmed date was April 2013. Wiley could be the hardest working man in the UK as mentioned  by Download A Mixtape, the  album has three singles already released featuring Artists Kano, Ms DynamiteGhetts, X Factor Tulisa, and the rolex sweeper Skepta. Wiley is better known for his production skills in grime with His unique choice of samples interesting beat patterns and gritty bass lines, but recent material released by wiley is production aimed at the commercial audience, songs that can be played on day time radio to the mass listener, despite this Wiley has managed to be adaptable in the music market. The album will be released on the Warner Music Record Label and Boy Better Know according to Wikipedia. The bad news is Wiley Retirement after The Ascent Album, this will be a massive shock for the grime industry, and is there any one capable of replacing hiss craft.
