East London rapper TiZ East connects with veteran producer Bayoz Muzik for new street anthem “Nokia Or Zanco”, which comes complete with a fresh set of visuals. With a vibe reminiscent of last week’s “Ringtone” by Blanco and Dr Vades, “Nokia Or Zanco” also involves a ringing line in its production and perhaps further illustrates the creative […]
Over the past 12 months, Brit-Nigerian MC Flohio has broken through in a major way, dropping banger after banger and touring across the UK and Europe, as well as landing a slot as one of Complex’s list of emcees to watch in 2019. With last year’s Wild Yout EP heavy on quality but not so much on length, […]
If you’ve been following the blossoming career of KiLLOWEN, you may mistakenly believe you know what he’s about as an artist. Last year’s “Adrenaline Rush”, for example, combined distorted punk guitars with a vocal delivery closer to rap than singing, leading everyone (including us) to start describing him as a rapper. Well, we were wrong. […]
Over the past five years, Cambridge-born Kyan has slowly built up a remarkable buzz. EPs like 2014’s Days In A Triangle and Remote View from the following year have earned him fans across the globe, not least the legendary Nile Rogers. That hasn’t gone to his head, though, and as his latest single “Neighbours” shows, his songwriting remains thoughtful and unassuming. […]
Being the underdog is a common theme in rap. The feeling of beating the odds in spite of the naysayers must be a rewarding one, but in the case of Prynce MINI it’s more accurate than most.

This month, the UK music scene was rocked by the news of Blaine “Cadet” Johnson’s tragic passing. In about a week’s time, over 25 artists will take to the O2 Academy in Brixton for a special concert in memory of the South London MC. Amongst these will no doubt be Rapman, who pays tribute to Cadet in […]
Harlem Spartans rapper Blanco has been very busy of late, dropping visuals for “21st Century Spartans” and his first Fire In The Booth for Charlie Sloth earlier this month. Looking to capitalise even more on his newfound freedom, Blanco has linked up with production duo Dr Vades for new single “Ringtone” — an unexpectedly feel-good flip of the generic mobile alert. Though […]
Emerging Canadian-born artist Cotis is ready to make his debut with the Wait! EP, a seven-track collection of hip-hop and R&B-infused pop. Slow-burning and melodic, Cotis’ music takes some cues from a lot of the better SoundCloud rap that’s circulating right now. Tracks like “Blame” and “Phone Light Up”, for example, have a lot of crossover potential […]
