Tastemakers tips.(Upfront)
Chris Brown Run It (Jive)
ANDREW JEFFRIES, PROGRAMME DIRECTOR, KISS 100
"Watch out for this kid. He's too young to have this much talent. His first single Run It has just knocked Kanye West's Gold Digger off the US number one spot and this looks to be just the start. This track has been splashing across Swerve and the Firin' Squad on Kiss 100 for some time and is a welcome addition. Check the album at your first chance; you'll not be disappointed. A big tune from a big artist in the making."
Plan B No Good (679)
KITTY EMPIRE, MUSIC EDITOR, THE OBSERVER
"Is it still hip hop if your no-holds-barred rap is accompanied by an acoustic guitar? Plan B certainly thinks so. His forthcoming single No Good is shocking, not just because it's full of raw sex, violence, and stunning word-play, but because there are no beats, no samples--just a strummed acoustic guitar. Straight outta Forest Gate, Plan B is the first real heir to Dizzee Rascal, rapping with fierce intelligence but always conscious of musicality, too."
