For the past year or so, Steel Banglez had been a little quiet on the music front. After the passing of his good friend Sidhu Moose Wala, the producer understandably took a little time out of the limelight. He returned last month with “Mera Na”, the third posthumous release from Wala that also served as Banglez’s […]

Grime titans D Double E and Chip have joined forces for a new track entitled “G’s Only”. Produced by Teddy Music, aka Silencer—one of the grime scene’s most storied and beloved beatsmiths—the track is a punchy, headrush of energy as Chip sets it off with some straight-talking, punchline-heavy bars before Dee comes in, dropping his iconic ad-libs and blunt […]

Just last month, grime veteran D Double E whipped us all into a frenzy when he surprise-dropped his collab with Kano, “Tell Me A Ting“, and announced he had a new album on the way. That was later followed-up with a solid-gold, all-star remix featuring BackRoad Gee, Novelist, P Money and Frisco, and now—in what might be the […]

It’s been quite a week for grime fans. First we got Boy Better Know together on “Red Card” and now we’ve got D Double E and Kano together on new track “Can’t Tell Me A Ting”. Backed by a dizzying production from Nat Powers, the two N.A.S.T.Y Crew icons remind us of East London’s grime […]

Grime star Kano takes us on a journey exploring the creative process and concepts behind his outstanding sixth album, Hoodies All Summer. The 13-minute short film follows one of British music’s most coherent storytellers as he pieces together one of last year’s best album releases. Hoodies All Summer, released in August 2019, saw Kano talk about the love […]

It’s been a tumultuous decade for all of us.

Similarly, grime hasn’t exactly had a smooth run. From the genre’s beginning (2001) up until around 2009, it had made a […]
