Lewisham’s finest, Novelist is back after a short short hiatus with a new 10-track EP called 4 Tha Homiez. Production from N.O.V himself, Prem and SusTrapperazzi transports us to the West Coast via G-Funk-inspired cuts that are guaranteed to have you dropping a two-step. The project pays tribute to the sounds that Novelist and the producers are fond of, with […]
North London MC Manga Saint Hilare, a former member of the iconic (now-defunct) grime crew Roll Deep, has shared the visuals for his latest single, “Man Knows”, featuring P Money and Capo Lee. Unapologetically grimey production from JakeBob sets the trio up perfectly as they combine their diverse flows with confident bars. The single follows the recent release of […]
With festival season fast approaching, if they’re smart, your favourite artists will be looking into their repertoires and making sure they’ve got some surefire slammers ready to tear the moshpits up. Although relatively new to the game, it looks like UK rap’s bright new star, ShaSimone, knows exactly what’s expected of her this summer because her new […]
A new exhibition is coming to the Museum of London and it puts the spotlight on one of the UK’s proudest exports: grime. Co-curated by Roony ‘Risky’ Keefe alongside the museum, the exhibition is called Grime Stories: From The Corner To The Mainstream, and it uses video footage, photography, and trinkets to trace grime’s history right back […]
BBK MC Frisco has just dropped off a brand new EP called Tottenham, and as the name suggests, it’s a well-rounded salute to the North London stomping ground that raised him, complete with some high-profile features and a broad range of styles and productions.

The sad and untimely passing of young music OG, entrepreneur and philanthropist Jamal Edwards on Sunday has rocked me, to say the least. My week—so far—has been a complete right-off, as if it were a family member that had gone on to be with the Lord. It’s 8pm on Sunday evening, and I had just woken up […]
It’s been four years now since we lost Stormin. A titan in grime and, in the latter part of his career, a revitalising force in the world of D&B MCing, Stormin’s legacy is huge and still being felt today. To mark the anniversary, his old friend and long-time collaborator Sir Spyro has put together a new track called […]
Nothing speaks to the competitive spirit of grime quite like Jammer’s Lord Of The Mics. Skepta vs. Devilman, P Money vs. Big H, Wiley vs. Kano. It’s been responsible for some of the most historic, and in some cases zeitgeist-shifting, clashes in the genre’s 20-year history. Heavily inspired by the long history of sound clashes […]
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 […]
Namesbliss—a rising rapper from Enfield, North London—has just dropped Light Of Mine, his second EP following 2018’s Style & Grace.

Standouts on the EP include the […]
