For the last year or so, Jim Legxacy has been on a steady and relentless rise, mixing alternative R&B and rap influences with a patchwork of pop culture references to create a sound that isn’t really comparable to anything else. Earlier this month, the South East London native made the official announcement that he’d be releasing […]
In support of his recent third album, UGLY, Northampton music rebel slowthai took the new batch of guitar-driven, punk-inspired bangers out for a series of small, intimate shows as part of the Jägermeister Best Night Of Your Life pub tour. Fans in Sunderland, Blackpool, Milton Keynes, London, Bath and Northampton were given the chance to grab a ticket for just £1 (and […]
Following on from his debut project, I Found Paradise In Hell, in 2020, South London’s Kasien is back with his new mixtape, Don’t Let The Devil In. At 10 tracks, it’s almost as streamlined as its predecessor and taps into many of the same themes—specifically hedonism and the darker places it can take you. Operating at the […]
SAULT—the enigmatic project/supergoup helmed by super-producer Inflo—have surprised us all with by dropping no fewer than five albums. There are, however, two catches: they’re only available for five days and you have to guess the password. Including the somewhat divisive orchestral instrumental album, AIR, which was released in April this year, the new projects make 11 […]
The latter half of this year has been a real treat for Louis Culture fans. After dropping his woozy double drop “7am”, the rapper returns with two brand new singles, “Twiss” and “Can’t Deny It”, the latter of which sees him connect with rising singer BINA and reunite with his old friend, Kadiata. To mark […]
North London singer, songwriter and rapper Zakhar is back with his latest single, “Better Things”, which arrives with a new set of visuals directed by Chris Chance. Produced by Phrxlla, with additional production from Deps Music, it’s another prime example of the 18-year-old’s finely tuned balancing act that pairs delicate songwriting with a dark and crisp instrumental that’s pure […]
Like all debut albums, Lil Silva’s Yesterday Is Heavy is the culmination of his entire life up until now. Musically, it draws on the relationships built and the skillsets acquired over the first decade and a bit of his career; old friends like Sampha, Little Dragon and serpentwithfeet reappear, whilst longstanding collaborator Benji B acts as […]
For the past couple of years, Vels Trio keys player Jack Stephenson-Oliver and producer Barney ‘Footshooter’ Whittaker have been working closely together as SAUL, a new outlet that’s given them the opportunity to step into the studio with musicians, singers and producers they admire for a series of releases that touch on jazz, broken beat, […]
Two years ago, 18-year-old Rio Rainz made his debut with a double-tap of releases, “Never Know” and “Heartless”, before heading back to the studio and spending much of 2021 working on his next steps. Now the young Londoner has emerged and he’s today dropping off visuals for the first in that fresh batch, “Damaged”—and there’s […]
Having broken through with his two first singles, “Follow You” and “Blue Skies”, last year, alt-R&B/soul singer Jeff Darko is looking to make an even bigger splash with the release of his debut EP, Strange Dreams. That’s due to land tomorrow, May 11, but before that he’s dropping off the hypnotizing, late-night visuals for its title […]
