To start the year off in true HomeGrown style, Ras Kwame assembled three of the brightest hopes in new UK black music to perform an amazing session at the BBC's world-class, world-famous Maida Vale studios.

Check out the video from the session then download the podcast featuring 3 tracks from the following artists:

:: Master Shortie
With a look and sound somewhere between the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Tinchy Stryder and the Beastie Boys, Master Shortie is making big waves around the UK's major label music scene and at the current time is bringing hisw sound to the masses via the DIY route, with his own label. Part electro, part grime and part indie rock, this is a sound you have to hear.
