Interview and Performance on BBC Introducing Radio

After a busy summer schedule, one of the projects Scrilla worked on (The Blues Master) was picked up by BBC Radio (BBC Introducing regional radio station). From Scrilla’s perspective the track, a collaboration between himself and another rapper (72theSign) was a last minute decision based on previous commitments. The beat (Hip Hop) produce by Kingpin Nineohfive sent across for work captured his imagination and exact mood at the time as he decided to work of the saxophone insert within the beat structure. When asked, off the record Scrilla said the beat took him back in time hence why he came up with the Hook lyrics associated with “The Blues”. The beat was structured with the verses leading up to the hook but he had to come up with a concept for the rap song and the saxophone served as inspiration for “The Blues” Concept. We would like to use this opportunity to thanks the BBC Introducing platform for supporting “music uk”, “music hip hop” and “music grime”

Scrilla reschedules meetings with Mahvrick Network and Damon Elliot.

Rapper Scrilla was scheduled for a series of meetings with media and PR firm Mahvrick Networks in Salt Lake City Utah. Firm owner Richard Mahee planned the meeetings for the rapper who was due at this year’s Sundance Film Festival in January 2013. Due to unforseen circumstances Scrilla was refused entry citing section 214b of the Immigration and Nationality Act even though British Nationals are thought to be under the waiver programme. This unfortunate event meant the cancellation of a series of meetings which included a studio session with Damon Elliot CEO of Presidential Records, under which he has produced and released hit singles for various music artists such as Keysha Cole, Gwen Stefani,including his mother Dionne Warwick. Following this event the rapper has sort to reschedule these meetings while the team finds a solution to the root cause of the issue with the Consulate authorities.

Consequentially, Scrilla has teamed up wit LMP Records a UK based production label to finish work on his B&C project. To date a series of songs have been recorded with LMP over-seeing production and the next Single has already been reviewed by top music video directors in the UK who all expressed an interest in directing and producing a video for it.

You can catch Scrilla performing his next 2 gigs at the BYT showcase on the 3rd of April 2013, Cambridge Corn Exchange and 4th April 2013 @ the RMS showcase London.
