B3ta’s ‘ginger Führer’ Rob Manuel on how laughably easy it is to exploit social media, adding fake likes and followers for cash:

A simple search on eBay for “twitter followers” brought us to a website I’m going to slightly disguise because I don’t want to directly promote their services.These people offer all sorts of services, including buying 100,000 Twitter followers for the measly sum of £25. There’s also deals for Facebook, and Youtube, and promises that they’ll even get you traffic for Google Plus (coming soon).

5th Element & DoubleScreen – Faces (Trench Road)

A just released epic from Ballymun-based hip-hop group 5th Element set around the lyrical talents of Ger Kellett and Ryan ‘Linco’ Lincoln and featuring producer DoubleScreen.

Ger sez:

“I feel over the last couple of months we’ve been making a transition into a new type of style for us. This new single is a more mature and experimental type of track and we are looking forward to seeing how people react to it”

Linco sez:

“Looking at most original and successful artists, there comes a point when its time to make creative decisions and have the courage to try take some things in a different direction. That’s what the new project is for us.”
