:: First Place – Best Of Me [Video]

This record is dope!!! I think that the past years success that we’ve had in the UK has made new acts step they game up…

First Place is the new pop urban group made up of three talented individuals residing in Bristol. Singer, rapper and songwriter Yomi started the group after performing with 19 year old rapper and Urban Music Award Winner Frenzee locally and as far away as Glasgow. Singer/ songwriter and ex-stage school Grade-A student Allegra was originally a fan of Frenzee’s music but is now a group member she brings balance and sweetness to the group with her soulful pop tones.

Kites – Take the Reins

Sounds like this is going to be a single release from the band…

The last few months have been good and Jan 2011 is better; so why not branch out. Stay tuned in you might soon start seeing Pop… :s
