Milli Major – My GG ft. Scorcher

As Grime continues it’s revival with the likes of Ruff Sqwad and Scorcher, amidst consistent staples such as Novelist, Manga and Rival, including breakthrough acts like So Large, one person that has maintained the foundations and contributed to it’s survival is Bloodline’s Milli Major. A bridge between Grime and it’s street essence, Mili Major has been conducting behind the scenes through a series of content (including the posse cut Skeemset) and live shows (most recently mashin’ up Prague) and so the OGs reconnect as he links back up with Scorcher for Gun Finger and the new release, My GG.

Gun Finger is great example of authentic Grime, with both veterans effortlessly tackling the high energy Luke Fly production, with it’s Igloo-esque sound bagged up in a more Drill-centric beat, with a hook tailored for a live performance and true-to-self verses that give it that originality of a set with the delivery and execution of a mix & mastered track. A contrast to his new release My GG, which like his previous Tempa T collab, Ooo Na Na, is a genre-elevating sound.

While the content is more gyal-focused gangsta music, it’s another up-tempo catchy number that can add to the dance, the radio set as well as benefit his live performance. Where most artists aim to replicate the streets through their music, Milli Major being stamped and certified allows him to experiment with his sound and it naturally comes across as such. For someone that can easily craft hard-hitting street-orientated songs, to delve into these territories highlights his artistry and with My GG (available now on all DSPs), he takes another step in broadening his range and adding more variety to his discography.

Milli Major – Skeem Set Pt. 2 ft. JME, Scorcher, SeriousXSyikes & Crazy Titch

Milli Major has been holding Grime down for a while now, with an array of content from a short movie, music and events, but ultimately the uniting a host of acts within the genre has to be applauded, with Skeem Set Pt. 2 being another great example of his position in the game.

Few can bring together legends like JME, Scorcher & Crazy Titch with the addition of SeriousxSyikes, if any, over the hard-hitting production, we get a stellar performance from the face of Grime, JME, a verse that could be put up in the V&A with the picture he paints. Followed by man of the moment, Scorcher, further cementing his return to the field with his ballon d’or winning presence and intent. Milli Major glues the track together effortlessly with another heavyweight effort, anchoring for authenticity, allowing SeriousXSyikes to step up and take advantage with his energetic performance, before the Grime icon Crazy Titch, with an exclusive feature from behind bars, in typical Titch fashion, sounding like he hasn’t missed a step.

As Grime continues it’s recent resurgence, with many returning to the elevate the space, the likes of Milli Major have been playing a key part in maintaining it’s legacy and future. With more on the way from the Bloodline representative, rest assured, order is set to be restored.

Milli Major – Ooo Na Na ft. Tempa T

Milli Major takes time away from the streets, to give her the “Rah rah rah”..

More known for his gritty street sounds, Milli Major makes the transition that I was initially sceptical of, however, I made it out to a lickle shoobz the other night, and I would have got to skankin’ if this came on. It would be unfair to review this as such, or be critical, when really it’s just a feel-good track that’s suited for the club (and festival). The addition of Tempa T is always respected, because 1) He’s not jumping on a track with just anyone, and 2) Tempa T has a commercial grime appeal, which shows with the general response of the track thus far. There is clearly an effort being made, with a great, clean and crisp visual, love the traditional vibe, it only emphasises the Ghanaian notion within the song.

My scepticism was basically for being accustomed to a different sound with Major, and not being so tuned to radio or heavy in the clubs, my A&R brain was conflicting, but the reality is that Milli Major has experienced some success in this streaming era with the more Garage-sounding production, in fact, his highest streamed tracks are basically that, which now makes all the sense, and so why not continue to have fun and add some depth to the catalogue. It’s always good to hear from Tempz, who actually goes in on this one, adding to the track’s potential live, as you can imagine how that’ll go.

The more you listen to the song, the more it’s appeal grows, in time for the summer and definitely one for ya BBQ playlist, with over 100k YouTube views and like 30k Spotify plays, there’s clearly a lot of people feeling like, “Ooo Na Na”.
