Given that the year is barely into double digit days yet, the following is quite a bold statement to make, but if there’s one show you should be watching in 2012, it’s Suits.

The show’s plot centers on a college dropout stoner with a photographic memory (Patrick J. Adams) who is taken under the tutelage of top New York lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) at an exclusive Harvard-lawyers-only firm. However, the two of them harbour the secret that Mike is a practicing lawyer at the firm, even though he has no degree from Harvard, or anywhere else for that matter.

There’s a lot to like about Suits. It’s a world of high-stakes cases, fast-paced business deals, and of course, tailored suits.  The dialogue is smart and witty, interlaced with pop culture references and quotes to boot.

Adams plays the role of Mike Ross with ease, delicately balancing the character’s eager street smarts with a naivety and vulnerability that is both endearing and believable. In the wrong hands, Harvey Specter could simply be played as an empty, arrogant suit but Macht delivers a fine performance that hints at Specter’s depth and mystique. The fledging bromance between the two leads comes off as authentic. If you want to know what onscreen chemistry looks like, look no further than the interactions between Adams and Macht.

The supporting cast all hold their own. Gina Torres is highly impressive as the firm’s head honcho Jessica Pearson. Junior partner Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) is captivating and squirm-worthy – a character you’ll love to hate. Then there’s loveable assistant Donna (Sarah Rafferty)and feisty paralegal Rachel Zane (Meaghan Markle).

Suits promises an entertaining ride for its viewers – it’s definitely worth checking out.

Suits debuts on Tuesday 17 January on Dave TV @ 9pm

Liverpudlian artist KOF is not an artist that wants to be confined to tightly specific labels, nor should he be. As a singer/songwriter and rapper, a listen to his music will tell you that his musical interests and inspirations are eclectic and overlapping. For KOF, music is not about keeping to strict genres – it’s about merging them to create a sound that makes you ‘feel something’. Read our interview below to find out more about his musical journey, Liverpool’s urban scene and whether he’s interested in more than just music.

How did you get into music?

I’ve always listened to music for as long as I can remember. My first memories where watching an ‘Earth, Wind & Fire’ concert that my dad had on video. I used to watch it every morning. After a while I knew all the lyrics and all the movements they did on stage. I would just sing along to the whole thing. That’s probably the catalyst that started my infatuation.

You’ve described yourself as an inbetweener when it comes to your music.  What influences do you draw from?

I’m influenced by so much which is why I describe myself as such. The different styles of music I listen to kind of dictate my sound. I’m into RnB, hip-hop, neo-soul, dub step, dnb, house and more, so elements of each are visible within the music I create, just not always in an obvious way. I’m also inspired by creative’s, people who have unusual ways of working. A lot of the stuff I’ve learnt over the years in terms of producing, recording vocals and mixing has come from observing how other creative’s work in their field and seeing how I can adapt and add my own style in that to see where I can take it to. I think those type of influences help to evolve an artists. It’s all about trying to take it to the next level and trying to create something different with it.

Whether recording or listening, what makes a song stand out for you?

Catchy melodies is a the main thing but I love songs that create a mood as soon as you press play. The songs I tend to keep on repeat are songs that make me remember certain times in my life. One in particular that I always mention is ‘Butterfly’s’ by Alicia Keys. It reminds me of one of my earlier relationships and everytime I hear it, it’s like I go back to that time and I feel all the things that I felt then. It’s weird but when music can make you feel something, that’s the best kind.

How do you think the urban Liverpudlian music scene has developed in recent years?

It’s got better in terms of artists who are getting involved to try an help create a scene. I’ve been doin my thing in Liverpool for a few years now and the quality of artists and music that is coming out is at a level much better than before. I think to have a scene though there needs to be much more than just artists. We’ve got some talented video directors in the form of Mr Green and The Elaborators and a few more but we lack in terms of radio stations and media that are willing to support or push on a wider scale. Unlike most of the big cities, we have no pirate radio stations to help nurture some of the talent. The main stations in Liverpool don’t play upcoming urban artists from Liverpool. I get some support on some levels from the likes of Dave Monks at BBC Merseyside or Olabean & PL when they were at Juice FM but on the whole, there is no radio support for most of the artists in the city. It’s crazy to see that my song gets played on Radio 1 and added to the A-list on 1Xtra but still gets minimum to no support on the main stations in Liverpool.

Are there any other fields of entertainment you are interested in?

Yeah I’m interested in directing and  editing. I’ve directed or co-directed most of my videos. I’m especially proud of the video for ‘Looking At Me’, it took me a while to edit it but I’m proud of the end result so it was worth it. Doing videos takes up a lot of time so it’s something I need to do in moderation. My music is my main focus at the moment.

‘Looking At Me’ is out now on Itunes. You can follow KOF on Twitter @kofmusic
