Chipmunk - Diamond Rings

Like his peers Tinchy Stryder and Ironik, 18-year-old London rapper Chipmunk has come from the underground grime scene and is destined for huge chart success - especially with tracks like 'Diamond Rings' up his sleeve.

This is music that shouldn't be taken too seriously by any means; it's fun and jaunty Bugsy Malone-style hip-pop with a hint of ska lumped in. And he may just be getting used to the pop star game, but Chip's getting used to the glamourous lifestyle already, as we hear in cheeky lyrics like "Girls see me and scream, 'cause I'm on the TV."

Compared to his laughable mistake of a song that was last single 'Chip Diddy Chip', Chipmunk's headed in the right direction on 'Diamond Rings'. His personality comes through without fail and it doesn't sound like anything else out around this time. We should also mention it's one of the catchiest things to bother radio lately.
