I’m not gonna lie, doing research on Amplify Dot or as her real name is Ashley Charles, was quite a sad story. Or wait, sad is not the word, absolutely ridiculous is more accurate. Basically all small minded men with popcorn for brains write that she’s a dyke and make music for other dykes and so on. Okay… Sons. Then we have The Sun who blew up the story that she and Jessie J used to be best buds but now are bitter enemies a couple of months back, you know the way The Sun always does.

What’s true is that Amplify Dot makes good music and is one of the most interesting rappers from the UK at the moment. In January this year she founded her own label AmpedUp Records. She’s made a couple of tracks with Jessie J, listen to ‘Sweetest Thing’ below for example. But now let’s get back to her single debut, ‘Born Ready’ (buy via Play or Amazon). The track is produced by Alan ‘Nglish, features Annonymos and the single EP features 6 cuts, among them the official remix featuring Booty Luv, Ruff Diamondz, Envy, Lioness & Stush. Have a listen below and also make sure you grab the free dubstep remix Ashley let loose last week to make up for the delay.
