Tinchy at the Star In The Hood new range photoshoot. You can pick up the new stuff here. Filmed and edited by SB:TV.

I missed all of 1Xtra live, despite having a nice vip backstage connect lined up.. PAR! but it looks like a big event up in Sheffield. Big looks for the UK scene too as it was all UK artists. Here's some backstage stuff:

Tinchy & Tulisa N-Dubz hit back at La Roux's negative comments about the uk "urban" scene earlier this week.

That's the La Roux that would still be playing europop in Belgium if it wasn't for that "urban" dubstep remix of In For The Kill.

So last night was the UK's MOBO awards live in Glasgow and on BBC Three. There's all sorts of discussion flying around on Twitter, mainly around the fact that Dizzee Rascal and Tinchy Stryder, despite being the two biggest UK stars right now, walked away empty handed.

There's also the wider discussion that award shows like this don't make that much of a serious point in this day and age, with blogs and everyone having a voice on the internet, and that maybe they need controversies like this to get their own PR.

Anyway here's some clips from the show and the full list of winners and nominations.

Last night the 2009 Mobo award nominations were announced. The UK "urban" scene is in the best shape it's been for years, so it's good to see some recognition for some of our biggest artists. Having said that, there's obviously a few people who should be there but aren't.. Taio Cruz for one.
