Ace & Vis present AVX

Last night saw the return of AVX at The Sound Bar, Leicester Square. This was the second installment of the UK music night from the dynamic duo that is Radio 1Xtra's Trouble Makers Of Radio Ace & Viz (Invisible).

By 10.30pm the line outside was heaving with revellers who turned out to see some of their favourite artists and proved the night would be just as successful as the first.

The line-up for the night included The appropriately named Princess, Tribal Skankers FRE3 & Chipmunk (as well as a few surprises along the way!).

Inside PYT's mixed it up with rudeboys taking in the atmosphere as they waited for the festivities to begin.... After the hosts welcomed everyone in the building the first act to take to the stage was Princess who performed her massive funky anthem 'Frontline'. Although she may be small in size she commanded the stage like a true diva in training as she had everyone singing along with her.

Musical entertainment between the PA's was provided by the Sweetboyz who kept everyone hyped and lively with their mix of everything relevant in musicworld right now and non-stop banter.

The 2nd act to hit the stage was Sincere and he opened with a killer remix to Soulja Boys' 'Turm My Swag On' before jumping in to the Kid Bass elektro banger 'Good girls love Rudeboys' and the building just erupted!

The big surprise of the night had to be Ruff Squad taking to the stage with.... Tinchy Stryder! Tinchy who was originally slated to perform at the first AVX but was unable to make it joined his Flea Gang to perform a few tracks including their hit 'Ruff Squad Man Dem' which sent the crowd in to a frenzy and more than made up for his absence at the last show. Overall it was the perfect way to finish the PA segment of the night.

The Sweetboyz then kept everybody dancing past the 3am finish line!

Once again Ace & Vis were able to bring together a group of performers to appeal to everyone's taste and prove why they're a force to be reckoned with on the UK Urban scene not just as DJ's but as entertainers.

I highly recommend you make it down to the next event! I wonder who'll they line up for next time???.....

*Although Chipmink was on the bill he was unable to perform due to unforseen circumstances*

Not sure what to make of this one, although rumours have been surfing for a while about the supposed pairing of this unlikely couple, could London's pregnancy for the most rated rapper of our time be a ploy to further her acting career?

Lil Kim Blogs

"The black woman trapped in a white woman's body" aka Lil' Kim, like a bunch of other celebs decided to write a blog on uncle Russell Simmons' website, Global Grind, about loving yourself....


"I want to take a moment to talk to all young women about the four letter word…”LOVE”.

Not LOVE for money, not LOVE for sex, not even LOVE for a man or a woman, but LOVE for yourself! Sometimes we have the tendencies to look for LOVE in all the wrong places and seek acceptance to belong and fit in.

But the truth is that we must first LOVE ourselves. The most important thing is that once we LOVE ourselves we are capable and ready to LOVE others.

Till next time….
Honey Girl"

This sounds just a tad bit ironic to me, as it's quite obvious that she hasn't been loving herself for a few years!!!

Has Kim finally decided to love herself? Does that mean we'll no longer be subject to her skin bleaching, and her face getting more Barbie looking and plastic? I honestly don't think so!
