Charlie Sloth’s Fire in The Booth Returns with Loski

Imara Oshibanjo — Sun, 16 Dec 2018 20:32:50 +0000

Charlie Sloth’s legendary freestyle series is back with a bang. Following up from Loski’s previous freestyle on the BBC last year he has returned with a part two. In his part, one freestyle Loski racked up over 1M views and as it was labeled as being a ‘part 1’ we knew Loski will return back soon. Early October Sloth announced he will no longer be apart of the BBC after serving nearly a decade there.

This came as a shock to fans/supporters who predicted there will no longer be any Fire In the Booth series. At the start of December Sloth took to Instagram to share a few snippets ahead of its returns to his own YouTube Channel.

With the video just being released two days ago it has already pushing half a million views and is currently trending #22 on YouTube. Comparing Loski’s part one version to part two we see a year’s growth in the young rapper and we can’t wait to see more of his talent. The rapper has a respectful number of fans/supporters who keep track of his music but were surprised in one part of his freestyle when he started to sing.

We were happy to see Loski mixing singing within his verse as this showed off his multiple talents in the best way.

Rickie, Melvin and Charlie, from KISS FM to Replace Charlie Sloth on BBC Radio 1

The BBC has confirmed that the three DJ’s will be replacing Charlie Sloth in hosting the late evening, 9pm-11pm show. They will begin hosting in 2019. Charlie Sloth, who has been presenting the hip-hop show ‘The 8th’ since 2017, left the station last month.

We have agreed with Charlie Sloth that he will not be presenting any further editions of ‘The 8th’ and ‘The Rap Show’ for Radio 1 and 1Xtra. New presenters will be announced for both shows in coming weeks.

Sloth claimed he was leaving to “seek a new challenge”. However, it was said that his show would continue running until the beginning of November but was cut short due to a controversial stunt pulled by Sloth at an awards ceremony in October. The incident involved Edith Bowman, who won Best Specialist Music category at The Arias radio awards. Sloth responded by climbing up on stage, taking the microphone and saying “Edith Bowman, fuck your life. I just wanna say – Radio 1, 1Xtra, Saturday Night Rap Show, fuck your life. God bless.” Edith Bowman simply responded with a simple tweet, “Morning, Charlie Sloth. Hope you are feeling okay this morning.”

Sloth has been presenting shows for the BBC for a decade now, he is yet to announce what his next move will be career-wise. Despite it being highly unusual for a host to leave a show just after a year, especially after such a good response from audiences, Sloth did, however, cause a lot of controversies.

After a strong 10 years of presenting the KISS FM breakfast show, the trio, Rickie, Melvin, and Charlie say that “We’re so excited to be joining the Radio 1 family. Listeners will hear a new side to us, as we’ll be showcasing the music we love.” The three put together have more than enough experience to provide a fun and engaging radio show. Following the success of being named the most successful commercial breakfast radio show in the UK.

Between the three of them, they have presented a variety of shows, such as ITV2, Channel 4, MTV and BBC Three. The three will be presenting the show Mon-Thurs, 9pm-11pm from the start of the new year.
