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 […]

Drake has made his way across the pond a number of times over the last few years. In the past, he’s endorsed Skepta’s Boy Better Know and tapped a handful of UK grime and drill artists and producers for his 2017 album More Life. Drizzy’s most recent endeavor is his single “War,” which features a drill […]

Much was made of Cadell‘s beef with Stormzy when they sparred a few years ago, but then things seemed to quiten down and we all got on with our lives. Now, however, with the increasingly heated war between Wiley and Stormzy, the details of Cadell’s situation have bubbled back up to the surface. Referenced in […]

The Wiley vs Stormzy saga continues. After Stormzy replied to Wiley‘s “Eediyat Skengman” with “Disappointed“, Wiley clapped back with a sequel that accused him of not caring about grime and citing his use of the “Know Better” beat as an example of that. Well, Stormzy’s replied with “Still Disappointed”, addressing every point that Wiley’s made and uses […]

It’s all kicking off. In the latest developments, Dot Rotten has re-entered the beef and now Wiley‘s escalated it with “Eediyat Skengman 2”.  Taking things to new levels, Wiley addresses some of the accusations Stormzy threw at him in “Disappointed“, denying most of them, and counters by going after his mum — If I see your […]

It’s all kicking off in the grime scene this week, but away from the Wiley vs. The World melee, Little Dee has been putting the finishing touches to his new EP, Heritage.  Across six new originals, the OGz legend gives us both barrels, bringing Wiley, Snowy Danger, Frisco, Scotty Stacks as well as his good friends P […]

It goes without saying: it’s been a stressful and depressing year for the UK, with the country more divided than ever. But thankfully, UK music has had an incredible one. In 2019, we have seen the likes of Mahalia, Fredo and D-Block Europe hit the big time, dominating and even topping the charts. It was also a […]

Ghetts and Rude Kid have linked up for new heartfelt track “Legends Don’t Die”. The many different sides to Ghetts’ lyricism is perhaps the main reason he remains relevant a decade after emerging. On “Legends Don’t Die”, the emcee assumes the elder statesman position—reflective and pensive, he shouts out some of the fellow UK legends, from Esco to Crazy […]

It’s been a tumultuous decade for all of us. The past ten years have seen Britian host the Olympics, endure uninterrupted Tory rule and conclude it by crashing out of the European Union in the most embarrassing way possible. Similarly, grime hasn’t exactly had a smooth run. From the genre’s beginning (2001) up until around 2009, it had made a […]

Your favourite producer’s favourite producer, Boylan has been injecting fire and fury into the grime scene for a good few years now. Alongside Trends, the pair make a formidable duo both in the studio and behind the decks (who can forget their signature banger “Norman Bates”?). A champion of the instrumental side of grime, Boylan actually came […]
