Later this month (May 26), Manga Saint Hilare and Blay Vision will release their collaborative EP, Save Yourself. Manga officially announced the project this time last week, but we got the first taste of it last month when they put out the first single, “1234”. With just over a week to go, they’ve now dropped off visuals […]

Revisiting last year’s Pink Lemonade, Jammz is back with visuals for his high-energy team-up with Mez, “Raiden & Tyrone”. The track was produced by Gesher and pits a marching drum pattern against the two MCs’ tightly-wound back-and-forth. It proved an early fan fave with fans so a video seemed all but inevitable. Jammz himself edited the footage […]

The last two years have been some of the best for D Power who’s made it his mission to keep us well-fed with a steady stream of collabs with all the greats. Between two volumes of Graphene and a handful of other singles, the East London grime legend connected with the likes of Skepta, Wiley, Frisco, Jammer, Jammz, […]

There are a lot of grime shows and events popping up on the calendar this year, including a Rinse takeover at Ministry of Sound next month, so it’s a good thing veterans like Bossman Birdie and So Large are still tirelessly grinding away on new reloadables for the dance. New banger “Bout It X2” sees them […]

Grime’s global influence continues and it’s thanks as much to outside forces as it is to our own stars getting themselves embedded in scenes around the world. Take French producer Edsik, for example, who’s just teamed up with new-gen grime star Logan on their new single “Madsik”. Edsik’s been championing grime for at least a decade […]

Jords, we’re told, has big things planned for this year. It was only last year that he released the Swings & Roundabouts four-tracker, but the work never stops and today he’s announcing that he’ll be releasing his debut album this year.  Beyond that, he’s keeping tight-lipped about the title and release date, but he has just dropped off […]

THE IMPACT… Raj Kapone: Any youth culture movement is gonna get eyed up by brands because it gives them direct access to the kids and what they want. The developing nature of the grime scene meant that anyone involved around the beginning was on the inside looking out, so, naturally, we were the ones […]

It’s barely been a month since K-Trap released The Last Whip II, a star-studded 19-tracker that became an instant fan favourite and a standout for the year, but he’s already back with a big A-list remix of Trapo highlight “Warm”.  When the UK drill star announced the remix’s imminent arrival on Tuesday, he simply posted the artwork with […]

Late last month, Jammz hit us with the news that work was finished on his upcoming album Pink Lemonade and that the new tome would be landing November 23. Alongside that news, the East London MC/producer/label owner also dropped off visuals for its lead single, “Rebellious”, a tear-the-system-down stomper built for only the biggest bass bins. Today, […]

It’s been in the pipeline for more than a minute, but Dapz On The Map’s debut album, Landed, has finally arrived after pre-release singles “Contingency” and “Give Thanks”. Back in March, the Birmingham native also released a quick two-tracker called Connecting Flights, which featured “Never Ever” with Infamous Dimez and “Hunger Games” with Swifta Beater, and although neither […]
