Fresh off the back of a series of collaborations with alt-rap up-and-comers Sainte, Feux and 5EB, North London producer, musician and rapper JP Rose is now focused firmly on his own creations. Next up on the horizon is his nine-track mixtape, Lo-Soul (due for release Spring 2022), a carefully curated project he produced entirely himself. The first track out of the […]
Mike Skinner’s The Streets is back with a sledgehammer of a tune that sees him team up with South London’s Master Peace. Officially released a couple of weeks ago, “Wrong Answers Only” has actually been doing the rounds for a little while, living as a secret weapon in Skinner’s record bag, and now it’s been […]
2021 was the year when some of UK rap’s most accomplished heroes put out the greatest albums of their already impressive careers. Dave, Ghetts and Little Simz all gave us literally world-beating albums, and it’s worth adding that the new gen hardly lacked either—Central Cee, M1llionz, V9 and Digga D also shone. But, already, it’s […]
December is over and Rod Wave has fittingly brought the heat. On Monday, the musician dropped “Cold December,” the lead single off his forthcoming, yet-to-be-titled third studio album that’s due in early 2022, alongside an accompanying video. The trap-laced ballad finds Rod singing about his own love experiences, over a tasteful sample of Hank Williams Jr.’s “OD’d in December.” And […]
After a relatively quiet 2021, DigDat—one of UK drill’s leading lights—is back with a follow-up to his 2020 project, Ei8ht Mile. The new mixtape, Pain Built, bucks the trend of lengthy, sprawling projects by keeping the tracklist to a streamlined 10. It’s a strictly solo affair so there are no features on this one, but he’s called […]
Producer and rhymer The Last Skeptik is still justifiably riding high from the release of his most recent album, You Don’t Like Me But I’m Still Here, a 14-track collection of existential angst and frustration shot through with bone-dry wit and laid out across rich and thoughtful productions. Today he returns with a fresh set of […]
When Wretch 32 dropped his debut project, Learn From My Mixtape, in 2006, everything changed—not just for him, but the entire British music scene he was about to disrupt. Here we had a grime-inspired rapper from Tottenham, North London, whose very first release was packed with the kind of penmanship US rap’s Mount Rushmore—of every era—would highly […]
YK Osiris can add French Montana to the growing list of rappers to whom he owes money. In a video posted to his Instagram Stories early Monday, French jokingly pulled up on YK while at the club, demanding he pay up $5,000. “I found my n***a,” French said. “He owe me some money. He don’t wanna […]
Antonio Brown released a new song just hours after storming off the field mid-game and being cut by Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The wide receiver’s antics were already causing a stir on social media, but instead of addressing his actions, AB opted to drop a new two-minute track called “Pit Not The Palace,” which he shared via a Twitter link […]
Despite not having released a full-length project since 2015’s The Kanan Tape, 50 Cent remains convinced he’s firmly established his place in hip-hop’s pecking order. Taking to Instagram to share an update on his next album, Fif reminded his critics that he “terrorized hip-hop for 14 years.” “The numbers will never lie but I’m nobody’s favorite,” he wrote, adding, […]
