Ms. Dynamite

I'm a life long GUNS N' ROSES fan, because Guns N' Roses, if you may or may not know anything about them... they're basically a band that ROCKED THE WORLD because of their ability to... express themselves and what was happening in Los Angeles in the 1980's... and as artists, Guns N' Roses just grew n' grew n' grew as... they did THEY'RE OWN THING!, which everybody needed, instead of "another hair brained hair metal band", those guys just did they're thing, wrote about their life's ect... and, In all honesty, MS. DYNAMITE! has done exactly the same!
oh my god! she is basically... to me... In my own opinion (as a musician artist myself)... SHE HAS DONE THIS!.. and it is music like THIS!, that I can personally and all honestly, so easily call her "MY OWN INFLUENCE!"... and I'm usually picky about stuff like that, SLASH's Guitar ability (Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver ect...) Axl Roses's lyrics, when he's "Casting his own demons out"... in a matter of words, the rawness that made Guns N' Roses such a great band to listen to, for anyone wanting more than the clich? popular tracks that radio plays because 'it's suddenly cool that month...' for anybody wanting MORE than that, more from every clich? Ms. Dynamite track, if you are looking for an artist with a way of 'putting across the truth' such as 'GUNS N' ROSES' and even 'TUPAC!'... Ms. Dynamite is clearly, to me, as a musician myself... Her music can hit home! It can hit home on that 'deeper level, that, it really is no surprise, that this artist who wrote all these songs herself, it's so easy to believe, that she also had the GENIUS to call this DEEP/ HOME HITTING album... "ALITTLE DEEPER!"

I recommend her as a musician as I would Recommend The Following!

GUNS N' ROSES
TUPAC
JIMI HENDRIX
and of course... MS. DYNAMITE!

(She HAS to be on this list, for me!)
because, these are all artists, who, did their thing, for the LOVE of doing, but also... people who saw "what was missing on the music scene, but, created something to fill n' hit the spot, like what Ms. Dynamite almost always does, especially in this album!!!

Ms. Dynamites album, A Little Deeper was a fresh burst of good music with excellent arranging and meaningful lyrics. She makes you feel her words. She comes from a poetry and underground music background and you can hear the rawness in her album. I love every single song on this album it is a must buy- she engulfs R&B, hip-hop and reggae. I promise you will be pleased.

I only hear one good track on this album. She's okay and could be better. She tries to sound deep but whatever. I don't believe her. She was a hit and disappeared cause she got pregnant. When is she coming back? Maybe never.

positive and uplifting, this cd does not fail.ms dynamite creates her own signature sound with her distinctive voice,flow and all together sound.the best part of owning this cd is introducing this great artist to others who are not familar with her (unfortunately many are still not)her music is very truthful and very aware.

Ms Dynamite definitely has talent, she demonstrates it on this album, which is quite satisfying from start to finish. It's too bad she doesn't really showcase her ability as a Garage MC (except maybe on "Put him out") because I really liked her work on "Boo" or "Envy" with So Solid Crew.
That said, this is a solid effort, with conscientious and genuine lyrics. Standout tracks are "dy-na-mi-tee" (laid back track, so addictive), "it takes more" (great message, catchy hook and chorus), "Seed will grow" (duet with Kymani Marley, there again great message, great beat, great collaboration) and "Now u want my love" (the best song to me, GREAT song). Other tracks worth mentioning are "Put him out", "Sick and Tired" and "Krazy Krush". References to Lauryn Hill are correct but I think she definitely has her own style.
You should try it, it has great potential.

You wouldn't think Ms Dynamite was British, would you? Her music sounds American, and she looks like a American singer. But indeed Ms D is all British.
Her music is very RnBish garage. This is the first song I've heard from Ms Dynamite, and I liked it so much I want to hear more!

"Dy-Na-Mi-Tee" is brilliant! It's basically about Ms D's life. She raps her way through it, helped by a catchier then the flu chorus and peculiar noises in the instrumentals in the middle of the song and at the end. You know it's Ms D when she says "I'm just Ms Dy-na-mi-tee!"

This single is very cool. It has the radio edit of "Dy-Na-Mi-Tee", the best song on this single. Next, you have your standard usual remix, and finally a Lounge Radio 1 mix of "It Takes More" Ms D's first release. I never knew women could swear so bad! It also has the video, which is very cool.

Overall, a funky single which will do Ms Dynamite well here in New Zealand. This would do well in America, and it's already big in the UK. Ms Dynamite is a rising star, and will definitely do well!

Ms Dynamite continues to please. This work is predominantly R&B, in comparison to her first release.

I love the mix of this cd, my favorites are "Afraid 2 Fly" "Little Deeper" "Gotta Let You Know". I believe I might have a different version of this cd because mine only has 15 not 16 tracks but none the less its a solid cd of good beats and relaxing melodies.

Ms Dynamite is one of tha most talented singer/mc in England she talks about how hard it actually is to live on the ghetto's of london as a resident from London i can relate to what she talks about,Also i like the way she speaks out instead of singing about Sex,Drugs & Money because she know what its like to b Broke.

16.A Little Deeper/I love this song i can really relate to it 10/10

Ms Dynamite is the best can't wait for her next cd

I was a little dissappointed when I listened to this album. Knowing that it won the Mercury Prize, a prize given to some of my favorites like Portishead and Tricky, I expected a really groundbreaking album. I was let down. While Ms. Dynamite is a cut above the average pop female singer/songwriters out right now, this album is a little overrated. I thought that she had a lot of good things to say but the delivery after a while got VERY boring. There are only two tracks on this album that I thought were really good and the rest is average monotonous R&B from a mediocre vocalist.

In the U.K. Ms Dynamite is nothing short of a superstar. Having won numerous awards, the Mercury Music Prize being one of her best achievements to date. Her music exudes class in every area, from the lilting Trip-Hop melodies in "Dy-Na-Mi-Te" to the Garage inspired beat of "Put Him Out" her music will leave you breathless. This is one of the best British artists in a very long time, rising head and shoulders above a British music scene saturated with the instant popstars created from infamous television shows such as "Pop Idol". Numerous artists appear alongside her including among them Kymani Marley. Her lyrics are fierce and empowering, showing the world what real girl power is. All together this will be remember as one of the great recordings of 2002, appealing to people from all walks of life and is truely a great cross-over record. I see many great things for this young lady in the future. Buy it now.

Before you get this CD, check her debut appearance on the charts on Sticky's 2001 tune "Booo!" That'll give you a sense of Ms. Dynamite's natural verbal artillery and ferocity. This 2002 debut was pretty remarkable for a year when UK garage made more inroads in the US (e.g. Daniel Bedingfield, The Streets), but believe me, one listen to this CD and it's pure London. The horns and beats on the my name is track "Dy Na Mi Tee" brings up imagery like getting your teeth knocked out by the drunken sot by the Camden Town tube stop, while the tight single "Put Him Out" does TLC's '99 "No Scrubs" all ragga style. Her vocal style is somewhere between Lady Saw and Kelly Rowland, but it's the match with each track's rhythm, whether it's syncopated or more drawn out, that makes this CD a genius purchase. Rumors of duets with Eminem & Robbie speak to how much other artists rate her work. She even beat out the Doves for a Mercury!

Her debut single was an amazing one when it came out! When I first heard it, I thought it was an average cuz I wasn't takin' such a good listen to it. But man, it's one of the tightest songs I've heard in quite a while from a female singer/rapper! Personally, she is better than Missy Elliott to me cuz she gives more of a message than what Missy does. I mean this single is hot! I like the lines in her songs "The things that you promote, fightin' violence, like you don't want to grow" and of course the last lines of the chorus "cuz while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just, avoidin' addin' to the reel s**t that's happening to us" It's a hot tune! The B-side "Dy-Na-Mi-Tee" is a also a nice reggae garage track. Ms. Dynamite is da BOMB baby!

This is one hell of a song. Ms Dynamite has her finger well and truly on the musical pulse here. This is a song about real Black British urban life, and the lyrics are pulling no punches and taking no prisoners. The tune is totally addictive, it bounces around in your head long after the CD has finished, and you can dance, sway or just foot tap to an incredible funky beat. The first few seconds of the track "it takes more" has an old-fashioned dance hall quality to it, but that is where the similarity ends.

This is a strongly worded song that punches you right in the gut. Lyrics like, "You leave this world alone," and "You're just a racist man's facet" make you realise quickly that this girl knows what she is rapping about. Rap music isn't all about sex, guns and glory, this song puts that all into perspective and what is even better it is FROM a woman's point of view.

Ms Dynamite is simply DYNAMITE. That girl is going places in the music industry, if she doesn't, then there certainly isn't a God! It's great to have a female rap star especially one as smart as this young woman. I like some rap but I hate how a lot of it portrays women as being just sex objects to use and abuse. Like "Gangsta Paradise" this is a song you will never forget.
