Chima Anya - Full Attention

In lieu of an upcoming mixtape, Chima Anya drops this jacking of a Terror Danjah remix courtesy of Royal-T. Terror is responsible for some of grime's earliest classics including Zumpi Hunter and Boogie Man.

Chima Anya - And We Back feat. Soweto Kinch & Mr Mann (prod. Kelakovski) (Video)

Dr Anya is back, reuniting with saxophonist/rapper Soweto Kinch having collaborated with him already on New Day. Kela smashes it on the boards in typical fashion on And We Back.

Watch out for Chima's forthcoming mixtape, Closure.

Chima Anya - What Now (Video)

Chima Anya is back, following up last year's New Day album with free track What Now and a slick video to accompany it. He also carries the torch for hip hop's aversion to question marks. But why.

Don't Stay In...

The internet's current favourite, Homeboy Sandman is setting foot in the UK at the end of the month. He'll be supported by Chima Anya @The Bowery in central London on the 25th for Fat Gold Chain. To win a pair of tickets to the night, email over Chima's vocation - first come, first served. Hint: he's a doctor.

Chima Anya - Hey feat. Sincere (Video)

I can't help feel that the swagger-over-substance style typified by the likes of Little Wayne has long taken root over these parts. But hey, this is a pretty infectious song and good fun, so perhaps that's a lil' too cynical.

Chima Anya - Hey feat. Sincere

Anya MD goes in over the drum-led Hey with Sincere. New Day is out there now, so go get your Google on.

Chima Anya - Power (Video)

Chima Anya takes shots at those in power and the mainstream over Kanye's latest banger. This is (un)officially the first ever rap video shot on the new iPhone4.

Chima's New Day is out now.

Chima Anya - Death (Video)

Dr. Anya contemplates life and death on his latest single, lifted off the upcoming album New Day.

Another one from his forthcoming album.

Dr. Anya has also bagged himself a slot alongside the massively hyped Jay Electronica at Jazz Cafe on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Check the details.

Chima Anya - I Love Rap (Street Video)

Dr. Anya's I Love Rap off New Day, due at the end of the month.

Chima Anya Interview & Freestyle With Hip Hop Chronicle

Hip Hop Chronicle sat down with Doctor Anya, who explains that blogs are shit for various reasons including the fact they all cover the same stuff (sorry Hip Hop Chronicle). I wonder how his Your Blog Is Shit mixtape is going to be promoted. I reckon a fair amount of it will be through blogs, as well as more traditional outlets.

He also breaks down the over saturation of the UK scene with fans-come-rappers who should remain fans. Fair point – there’s a wealth of shit rappers out there. There’s a heap of shit successful rappers, too. And there’re some who don’t get the credit they deserve. Ultimately, who’s deemed worthy of listening to comes down to you – not rappers, not producers, not PRs and not blogs.

If you haven’t heard it already, Doctor Anya’s The Manner featuring every rapper’s favourite rapper, Jehst, is real big and his album sounds like it’s going to shape up really well. Mind you, you’ll be the judge of that.

This shit knocks.

Chima Anya feat. Jake Burrell - A Star Is Born

Chima Anya pays homage to the UK artists he respects on this acoustic joint, with Jake Burrell on guitar. Kind of a schmaltzy one. Interesting to hear who Chima's influences are, though.

His mixtape, Your Blog Is Shit, is on its way. I have it on good authority that the title is aimed at all sites EXCEPT for UK All Day. Phew!

Chima Anya - Hawk On The Rhythm (Pon De Floor)

Chima Anya goes in over a wonky Diplo banger.

Chima Anya - New Day (feat. Soweto Kinch)

New Chima Anya from a new album of the same name - New Day. I believe the other side to this single (do mp3s have sides?) is called It's The Manner and features Billy Brimstone. This sees a release on 14 December, so you can put it in your or someone else's stocking for Jebus' birthday. Think I'm going to have to buy this album.

I'm not too familiar with this chap. I do know his music is as polished as shiny wooden things.
