Ever since he began his music exec journey in the late 2000s, Birmingham-born Despa Robinson has consistently connected his city with the wider music industry, which wasn’t the easiest thing to do when he had next to no connections to the industry’s London base. Some of Despa’s earliest clients include: StayFresh, the Midlands grime collective, and S-X, the man behind one of […]
Newham-raised rap star Morrisson has been in music for well over a decade now, and despite blessing speakers across the land with bangers like last month’s “Blama” with Steel Banglez and Tion Wayne, and the Aitch-assisted “House & Garage”, Morrisson hasn’t dropped a project since 2009’s The Best Of Morrisson. Fans can rest easy now as the artist […]
Fresh off of his impressive Fire In The Booth freestyle, North London rapper Keeya Keys has shared his brand new single, “Ridiculous”.

The last few years have been transformative for Lewisham-born rapper Vic Santoro. After an 11-year stint in prison, he emerged from the experience with an impressive lack of bitterness. Instead, he set his sights on making positive changes in both his own life and his community. Music soon followed and, after warming up with some freestyles […]
2 Chainz cryptically tweeted today that either 2020’s So Help Me God or its anticipated follow-up would be the rapper’s “last trap album.” “This gone be my last trap album,” Tity Boi wrote on Twitter, “enjoy.” While it remains unclear whether Tity Boi was speaking about 2020’s So Help Me God or his next record, it will be interesting to see where the rapper takes […]
Mist is always on the move. If he’s not laying down fire in the booth, then he’s putting in work at the gym. And if he’s not at the gym, then he’s doing bikelife with friends or test-driving the latest German whip (of which he has a fleet). You could say life is sweet for the […]
