INTERVIEW: MDOT-E MTV WRAP UP INTERVIEW @MDOTE
MDOT-E MTV WRAP UP INTERVIEW!!!
Still relatively new to the UK scene, Mdot-E has put in a large amount of work, creating four mixtapes and an album in a short space of time. Mdot-E has also fast become the go-to guy in the UK rap scene for collaborations, lending his productions and smooth hooks to the tracks that help win over the ladies. The Wrap Up’s Tobi Oke caught up with the ambitious south Londoner to speak on his origins, musical style and much more...
The Wrap Up: Firstly, tell us the story behind your name?
Mdot-E: I was initially called ‘Tinchy’ five years ago, and then Tinchy Stryder came out and then blew up with the name, so changing it was obviously the easiest thing to do. I was thinking of a name that would represent me as a person and I came up with 'me' as in, Mdot-E.
TWU: You produce your own music as well. I’m guessing you were originally a producer first?
Mdot-E: Yeah, I started producing because I done a production course at college and I used to be an MC, but the whole grime thing just wasn’t me. I was more into hip-hop, I always wanted to rap but I wasn’t really that good as a rapper – I was just making beats for all of the artists around me that were good.
TWU: So, what made you decide to start rapping?
Mdot-E: I always used to rap, but I never had the confidence to put stuff out until my friend, Rhymer, told me: ‘You should just put stuff out; you shouldn’t care about what anyone thinks. Your beats are banging and people won’t really notice.’ So I started and I’ve just been building since then.
TWU: Now, as both a producer and an artist, you must spend a lot of time in the studio. How long does it take you to produce a beat and how long to write and record a track?
Mdot-E: It’d take about thirty minutes or an hour to create the basics of a beat and I’ll just build from that. To write and record a track, it’s maybe two or three hours. I’ve just got so much material right now.
TWU: Which of the two do you enjoy more?
Mdot-E: I’d say producing. Without a beat, there’s nothing, there’d just be an acapella, so that, for me, is the main thing. If the production is good, then I’ll start writing straight away for it.
TWU: Over the last 18 months, you’ve worked with several top rappers in the UK scene, such as DVS, Gunna Dee, Blade Brown, etc., and you always seem to either produce or feature on a particular track which is aimed at the ladies. Do you see this as your speciality in the scene right now?
Mdot-E: As an artist, that’s the direction I’m going in. The ladies thing is what I’m trying to lock down, which no one aint really doing at the moment. I remember when DJ Ironik came out, he was doing the same thing and I remember thinking, ‘He’s got it and he’s gone with it’, but now he’s just gone quiet so I don’t know. Keeping relevant has got a lot to do with it as well and, going back to what you said, when it comes to that certain sound, the top artists holla at me for that because they know when they need a certain sound, they need to holla at Mdot-E (laughs).
TWU: Would you agree that your fanbase is majority female?
Mdot-E: I’m not gonna lie, at the moment it is majority females. Because of the female attention, guys jump on board anyway.
TWU: Of the artists you’ve worked with, who has been your favourite to work with?
Mdot-E: Blade Brown is the only artist that comes to my studio and we build the track from scratch. He won’t even have the lyrics, no beat. I’ll make the beat, write the hook and then he’ll put down his bars. Also, Troy (formerly of RD), she’s actually here right now in the studio. Me and her, we have that chemistry. Instead of sending out beats and waiting for the artist to record it and send it back, I’d rather be in the studio with them – that’s just how I work best.
TWU: You recently supported Big Sean at his show in London. How was that experience?
Mdot-E: That was one of the best experiences! Definitely one of my biggest achievements. The amount of people that came to show love and support and see me, not just Big Sean, I was amazed. I had people saying, ‘I’m not even here to see Big Sean, I’m here for Mdot-E.’ It was such a good look.
TWU: People are starting to tip you as the next one to eventually crossover to the mainstream with your image and sound. Does this put pressure on you?
Mdot-E: Nah, not at all. What I’ve been delivering comes natural, it’s not like I’m forcing it, and it’s my sound. It’s all about consistency and it shouldn’t be a problem, not saying that it won’t be, but it shouldn’t be. With me, making that mainstream sound wouldn’t be a problem, everyone can relate to my music, whether you’re a guy or girl. Sometimes, only the road man can relate to other main subjects in UK rap but, with me, I can make a whole song just about me liking a girl and my granddad can listen to that and say, ‘Rah! I remember when I first met your nan.’ My style is more open, it’s for all ears.
TWU: Who in the UK do you still have on your wish-list to work with?
Mdot-E: Erm, I’d say Chipmunk. I haven’t worked with Wretch 32, I produced something and he jumped on it, but I wanna actually work with Wretch. Skepta is also another one; I’ve been recently trying to get him on my next project.
TWU: What are going to be your main aims and goals for 2012?
Mdot-E: More visuals for next year, more for TV and definitely more shows because I’m enjoying the live shows at the moment.

NEWS: EMMA WEST (RACIST TRAM WOMAN) PLEADS NOT GUILTY (LOOOL)
According to 'guardian online'
"Woman accused of racist outburst on tram appears in court
Emma West, 34, broke down as video of the alleged incident was played to Croydon magistrates court
Emma West, 34, appeared at Croydon magistrates court charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.
A woman broke down in the dock as a video allegedly showing her racially abusing fellow passengers on a busy tram was played out to a courtroom.
Emma West, 34, from New Addington, south London, appeared at Croydon magistrates court charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.
She bowed her head and sobbed as the three magistrates watched the footage, which has now been seen more than 11 million times online.
After the video was played to the court, the court clerk asked West how she wanted to plead.
"Not guilty," she said. West was remanded in custody and the hearing was adjourned until Tuesday."
Voila London:
'How the hell does this woman think she's gonna get away with it by pleading 'Not Guilty'.. I find it quite funny actually! She is charged with 'racially aggravated public order offence' and they have a full video of her being racist and proving her to be guilty. If she doesn't get found guilty then the whole justice system will need reviewing!
I feel sorry for her kid more than anything!
Disgraceful, uneducated Britain...'

MUSIC: iAM1 - WHISPERS (LIVE ACOUSTIC)
iAM1
'Whispers'
Live Acoustic
iAm1 is the sum of 2 people, singer song writer Oli Rose and MC Jamie Wallace. The two met whilst studying music at Westminster University in 2008 when iAm1 was born.
From diverse backgrounds and influences, they merge Oli’s traditional song writing roots with Jamie’s original flows and self inflicting lyrics, bursting on to the London scene in 2008 with a set firmly rooted in acoustic/spoken-word, as comfortable in a folk setting as they were with a grime audience.
In 2009 they released their first single, a remix of "Night Time Calling", featured on RWD, NME and Grime Daily, followed by their last single "The Movement" produced by Nocturnal (Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah) which was the first track ever created using a PC game, then released worldwide exclusively on EA’s Games title APB. The single was also heavily supported by Kiss FM and RWD.
They quickly established themselves on London's live circuit during 2009/10 selling out headline shows at many of London's key venues including Ronnie Scott's, Camden Barfly and Hoxton Bar and Kitchen whilst also supporting artists such as Tinie Tempah and Jessie J.
This is not music strategized for a 'pop' audience now familiar with the blurring of styles thanks to media savvy artists and labels who recognize that a 'best-of' genres approach feeds instant gratification and chart success, it's just the sum of 2 diverse people who share a passion for creating music together without confines, then putting it out there on their own terms.
