2021 was the year when some of UK rap’s most accomplished heroes put out the greatest albums of their already impressive careers. Dave, Ghetts and Little Simz all gave us literally world-beating albums, and it’s worth adding that the new gen hardly lacked either—Central Cee, M1llionz, V9 and Digga D also shone. But, already, it’s […]

After a relatively quiet 2021, DigDat—one of UK drill’s leading lights—is back with a follow-up to his 2020 project, Ei8ht Mile. The new mixtape, Pain Built, bucks the trend of lengthy, sprawling projects by keeping the tracklist to a streamlined 10. It’s a strictly solo affair so there are no features on this one, but he’s called […]
Having signalled the arrival of his debut album, Reasons To Smile, back in September with the Lex Amor-assisted “War Outside”, the build-up continues to gather pace as Kojey Radical drops off its latest extract, “Payback”, featuring Knucks. Production is handled by his long-standing friend and sparring partner Swindle—who also has an executive producer credit on the album alongside KZ—putting their […]
London’s Garbstore has revealed its Fall/Winter 2022 lookbook, featuring items from its three in-house brands.

The items from Garbstore have been constructed using 11 different mills from across Japan, with stand-out pieces […]
Producer and rhymer The Last Skeptik is still justifiably riding high from the release of his most recent album, You Don’t Like Me But I’m Still Here, a 14-track collection of existential angst and frustration shot through with bone-dry wit and laid out across rich and thoughtful productions. Today he returns with a fresh set of […]
