Veteran grime MC Manga Saint Hilare has released the visuals for “NRG”—a standout track from his latest project, Glow In The Dark, featuring Ikhana. Released in collaboration with producer Lewi B, the 12-track project features lyrical street sonnets placed over ear-popping grime beats, drill-inspired thumps and, of course, party-ready numbers like “NRG”—which is home to a 2-step […]
Last week, Skepta announced the release of a new project, All In, promising a couple of big-name collaborations. Lead single “Nirvana”, featuring J Balvin, dropped last night (along with some very high-end visuals) and the EP followed shortly after. In addition to the J Balvin team-up, the Tottenham titan also called on Teezee and Kid Cudi for “Peace […]
Birmingham’s Jaykae is back, but this time he’s on a garage tip for his new single “1000 Nights”, and joining him on this new one is Walsall’s finest, Jorja Smith. Switching up from the tongue-in-cheek energy of “Chop (Henry 8th)” in May, Ezrah’s gentle 2-step production acts as the backdrop for what is a pretty grim tale. In […]
South London rap/production outfit Splurgeboys, comprised of brothers Tee and Rocket, have unveiled the visuals for “Like Who”—a standout from their new album, Metox—which features grime legend D Double E and up-and-coming talent Kadey James. Produced by Splurgeboys, the laid-back, dreamy backdrop underpins each of their rhymes about being the guys that all the women want. “Like Who” is a catchy […]
It’s been far too long since the last Meridian Dan drop (2019’s “Yo G”), but he’s finally back with his new single, “Teachers Pets”, and he’s joined by his old Meridian Crew teammates Jme and President T. The instrumental comes from Sir Spyro, giving the three MCs a chuggy, dubstep-leaning bed for them to bounce on […]
Birmingham’s Jaykae has hardly been quiet lately, dropping off guest verses on a fairly regular basis this year, but it’s been a little while since we last had a solo drop from him. Today, however, he’s back with visuals for his new single, “Chop (Henry The 8th)”, and he’s given it the regal treatment the title calls […]
Earlier this year, as if out of nowhere, Skepta hinted that he’d be retiring from music and that “Dimension”, his collab with JAE5 and Rema, would be his last. “This Jae5 song/video featuring Rema and myself was recorded and shot last year in Ghana”, he said in an Instagram post, adding, “Any verses of mine you hear this […]
British rap star Dave has officially unveiled Nike and Skepta’s much-anticipated ‘Phantom SK’ Football Boot, a design that sees Big Smoke apply his creative vision to the world of football for the first time. The launch is a historic moment for both Nike and Skepta, with SK becoming the first music artist to collaborate with Nike on […]
The phrase “these trying times” has been so over-used it’s passed right through meaninglessness and into self-parody—a stock phrase that now feels too crass to even to slap onto the bottom of a low-effort marketing campaign. The sad and frustrating truth, however, is that it remains true, which is of course something you can say about most […]
Taking to Instagram earlier today, DJ Target has announced that his recent book, Grime Kids, is being adapted into an original six-part TV drama. The series, which is set to be broadcast in 2022 on BBC Three, is being written by BAFTA-nominated and BIFA-winning writer Theresa Ikoko and will feature an original storyline set against the backdrop of the burgeoning […]
