Always one to defy expectations, Wiley‘s eagerly-anticipated Godfather 3 album just landed and it was way ahead of schedule. The new album, his 13th studio project to date, was originally slated to arrive at the end of the month, but it appears his excitement got the better of him. Joining him on the album are D Double […]

Hot on the heels of April’s “Sugar Zaddy”, sharp-tongued Nadia Rose is back with her next release on her nascent Qwerky Entertainment label, “Too Bad”.   Fittingly, for a track about her exes not being able to handle her changing moods and capricious nature, “Too Bad” shows a few different sides to Rose. The quick-witted, tongue-in-cheek […]

If you’re somehow unfamiliar, 2008’s “Back Of My T” by Birmingham producer A Dot R and MC Dopestalla was an anthem in the bassline/4×4 scene thanks to its marching low-end rhythm and unforgettable hook. Remixes throughout the years have kept it a favourite among ravers, doubly so for those in the Northern and Midlands who’ve made sure the […]

Tomorrow, June 5, Switzerland’s Gaspar Narby will release his brand new EP Transatlantic, before that arrives he’s just revealed the six-track release’s third single, “Sirens”. A breezy piece of songwriting, the 23-year-old’s softly-sung vocals breeze dreamily through the speakers over a meandering instrumental line that’s got all the laid-back qualities to make it ideal for lazy summer […]

If you know the name Smokey Bubblin’ B it’s most likely for his UKG and house music output — he was responsible for one of the earliest drops on Conducta’s thriving Kiwi Records — but today he’s presenting something a little different. Lifted from his upcoming Hold Tight EP, his new single “Angel” does exactly what the project […]

Tribal Brothers — aka producers LR Groove and Razzler Man — back with an incendiary new release and appropriately enough they’ve called it Rebellion. Before the full EP drops this Friday, June 3, via the pair’s Renk Groove Recordings, you can hear one of the the tracks, “Marching”, below. As their name suggests, “Marching” is built […]

We’ve all been in those relationships that are bad for both parties, but feel so good all the same. It can be too much to resist, can’t it? That’s what makes “Bad 4 U”, the smouldering new single from South East London rapper Jay 8lue, so utterly relatable. Blending together hip-hop and R&B (with just a […]

Swedish producer and hit-maker Milwin is on almost vertical ascendancy. Easily notching up six and seven-figure streams with each new release, the young prodigy is back with another playful piece of dance pop called “Kill The Lights”. Partnering with fellow Swede and Normandie vocalist Philip Strand, the new drop is a stylish one built around carefree grooves […]

In many ways, Bogotá is a lot like the north of England: the weather’s not so great but the people are kind and dying to have a good time. And what do good people do in bad weather? They create. In the case of Bogotá, Colombia that means cultivating a thriving and multi-faceted music scene built […]

Hackney rapper, producer and musician Franklyn has pulled together a lot of surprising influences for his latest single “A13” and it’s given us a lot to unpack. Describing himself as the ghetto Wilfred Owen and the block’s Dickens, that’s just the beginning of the literary and musical references he pours into the  track. Firstly, the self-produced instrumental […]
