Shaggy – 'Boombastic'
"Too many Shaggy anthems to chose from, he needs his own playlist! But I definitley grew up on this one and it's so iconic."

Wiley - 'Heatwave'
"Timeless summer tune from the godfather of grime, can't believe this was 5 years ago!"
Then we ain't got to worry, we're nice for the day
Inspired by the sun, take flight for the day
Sippin' a cold beer, sunshine in your face
Long nights are crazy, we are on them

When the sun's out see the gyaldem too

When I reach in the dance, bring the gyaldem through
Gyaldem know so they wanna wind up
I get behind her and she get wile up
She back it up good but I try my luck
Wining up gyal is the vibe I love

When the sun's out we just wanna impress
I stand in the clear I don't bother with mess
If it ain't gonna sell I don't wanna invest
If it ain't got a vibe I ain't got a interest
I wanna see a ice-cream van on the road
I wanna see a light skin gyal on the road
I wanna get a slush puppy with both flavours
Drink that now I'm right back in my zone
When I arrive I'm causing a heatwave
I got vibes to sell, people want them

AJ Tracey – 'Buster Cannon'
"Great lyricist, lovely guy and of course he won our Brand New For 2017 competition so I had to have this track on the playlist!"
All I see is bums and boobs
I'm turnt, step on the stage
Buster cannon, man gon' blow up the room
Buster cannon, blow up the room
Buster cannon, blow up the room
Lickin' down shows and I'm bringing in racks
Buster cannon blow up the room
Backstage, couple drinks, I'm loose
All I see is bums and boobs
I'm turnt, step on the stage
Buster cannon, man gon' blow up the room
Buster cannon, blow up the room
Buster cannon, blow up the room
Lickin' down shows and I'm bringing in racks
Buster cannon, blow up the room
Man's from Grove, you already know
Beg friend who? Kick him in a hole
Bare Nike ticks on the kicks, that shows
Asked who I am, she already knows
Gang only, gangdem, that's bros
Fam know me, famdem, let's go
"Can I get a verse?" Big fat no
Squad with smoke, click clack blow
Man chat nuff, go get a job
Girls want cuff, I just want gwop
You're a wasteman, you're a big fat slob
Don't have a fit, don't cry, don't sob
Turn up to shows, I'm already drunk
Shelling down grime, I don't do funk
Guys got the shotgun, big like Inch
And the barrel come long like a elephant's trunk (Wah?)
Stepping on checks, stepping onstage
I don't want a beat from them man, that's dead
If it ain't Nyge or Faze then it's Tre
Cuh the beat sound like an impact to the head
Backstage entrance, no front door
Got a plus 10 and they've got a plus 4
Man do graveyard when I'm on tour
Don't chase girls, lose one, there's more
J Hus – 'Did You See'
"One of the biggest tracks of 2017 so far in my opinion and so much hype around him right now, definitely one of the highest anticipated performances on the line up for me!"
Did you see what I done (yeah yeah)
Did you see what I done (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Did you see what I done?
Came in a black Benz, left in a white one
I'm just a hoodlum I came with my bonsam when niggas wanna try some
Did you see what I done?
Came in a black Benz, left in a white one
I'm just a hoodlum I came with bonsam when niggas wanna try some
Came looking like a ganja farmer
Your daddy betta hide his daughter
Shake her bonda just like I taught her
Splashed her bonda with holy water
Lickle spice for the winter season
Your chicken needs a lickle season (yeah)
Did you see what he did?
The black benz turn white and they can't believe it
Make 'em repeat it
Das some new shit
They've never seen it
You should feel it
Meet and greet it
I'd be a genius if I didn't think with my penis
Gyaldem thinking I'm awesome
Mandem approach with caution
True say we came with the bonsam
But true say we came for the bunda
Some round ting that I can put my paws on
Did you see what I done?
Came in a black Benz, left in a white one
I'm just a hoodlum I came with my bonsam when niggas wanna try some
Did you see what I done?
Came in a black Benz, left in a white one
I'm just a hoodlum I came with the bonsam when niggas wanna try some
Came smelling like I've robbed a 9-bar
Looking for the baddest diva
Hol' up let me analyse her
Batty looking like a hypnotiser
Come let me try some
Suttin' you can climb on
Oh you're a shy one
Who you tryna hide from?
Baby jump in the black ride
And put your friend in the white one
I'm a benzo addict
Pulled up in traffic
Me and my friends switched cars and it looked like magic
They never seen such a skinny man in a big puffer jacket
That's unfamiliar, I came looking like a bodybuilder
Out here's windy yana
You're the one that I'm into yana
Don't you wanna see the interior?
Did you see what I done?
Came in a black Benz, left in a white one
I'm just a hoodlum I came with my bonsam when niggas wanna try some
Did you see what I done?
Came in a black Benz, left in a white one
I'm just a hoodlum I came with the bonsam when niggas wanna try some
Did you see what I done?
Came in a black Benz, left in a white one
I'm just a hoodlum I came with my bonsam when niggas wanna try some
Did you see what I done?
Came in a black Benz, left in a white one
I'm just a hoodlum I came with the bonsam when niggas wanna try some
