Have 1 On Me

I've just got back from Japan, is was a very exciting place to go to but it's fucking hot, worse than England was last month. Japan's one of those places you can't imagine, nothings really what you expect. Some of it was like Blade Runner, especially at night. They have these all in one toilets that spray your arse with warm water. I've never had a batty wash but I imagine it might feel something like this. We went to a Korean BBQ which was cool. They have grills on the middle of the table, they just drop the meat, big cuts of beef, right on it and cook it in front of you. I didn't even have time to shop but we did get to go to some clubs which reminded me of the clubs in Shoreditch, even down to the music the DJ's were playing. I was wondering whether they'd actually flown them out from north London. We were actually there for the Summersonic festival which was live. Fans there don't know the words to the songs yet, give it time, it's just starting off over there, but the response was good. We shared a plane back with The Editors and Muse, we said 'hello' but didn't get into anything.

We passed through the MOBO Nomination party in Camden last night which was alright, had some free drinks with the boys. Found out I'd been nominated for 2 MOBO's; Best Male and Best Newcomer. They tell me they're nominated and voted for by the people which is good. I don't think i'll win cause certain awards are only there for American acts cause shows need to be fronted which obviously leaves less awards for UK artists. I'm up against Sway and Kano for Best Male, we all deserve it but I'd rather be next to them than other people I don't respect. I met Alesha Dixon too, well I've met her before, but we had a chat and she was biggin' me up, tellin' me she's feeling the album and hopes I win something. She's cool and I hope she wins in her category too, but I don't expect to get the appreciation some people might think I deserve at an awards show cause my music's not mid road enough for people who don't listen to hip hop.

I'm going into the studio next week to do a live four track EP. It's going to include three new tracks (which I haven't written yet) and a version of No More Eatin'. I dunno quite what's happening but there's going to be a video shot next Friday too, at a London location. We want fans to come along, I think it's going to be a bit like a gig so if you're interested log onto the forum at www.time4planb.co.uk or check www.myspace.com/time4planb for updates.

I've had quite a few messages from people asking about the Shameless collaboration, Pass That, taken from MK's mixtape. Shameless went to school around the corner from me so we've been mates a while, that's how we were able to slag each other off. We both have the ability to make people look stupid so on Pass That we wanted to show we could do the battle rapping but in an actual song format. The concept was literally to kill each other off. He even tried to tell me when we were recording it that I was coming into late, but in the end I was right.

Right now I wanna be in the studio, but I'm cotchin' cause I can't get hold of Beni G. We're doing some mixtape tracks and we want to get it ready and out for Christmas. I'm gonna bootleg some album tracks, plus do some new material, spitting over legendary songs, on a rock tip. It's kinda grindie but leaning more toward the hip hop side of things.
