Tion Wayne has officially arrived. While it may have taken him over a decade to get here, the rapper’s success story is one of hard graft and persistence paying off in due course, grateful for the time to perfect his craft and ready himself for this current season of wins. Inspired to get into music by […]

Closing the door on an old relationship and thinking what might have been has always been a subject ripe for inspiration. The same can be said of any sort of bittersweet nostalgia; a thought process soul-rap duo Children Of Zeus zoned in on for “The Most Humblest Of All Time, Ever”, one of the many highlights on […]

A renaissance man in the truest form, MOBO-nominated rapper, spoken word poet and creative director Kojey Radical can seemingly turn his hand to any medium.  Fortunately, fans can rest assured his debut album is on the way, and his Lex Amor-assisted single, “War Outside”, is the first taste of what’s to be expected from the […]

After setting speakers ablaze last month with the super-smooth “Ride Or Die”, rising North London artist Nippa has been hurdling towards stardom with his signature brand of trap-licked R&B.

The track’s melting pot […]

Rising London talent Joe James continues to prove why he’s in a league of his own.  After holding down a bulk of the rapping on producer KwolleM’s acclaimed 2020 Mellow Grime effort, c2c, and dropping his soul-leaning rap project, Jöetry, earlier this year, the Essex native is back with visuals for his most recent endeavour, “Hold Me […]

Headie One is easily one of the hardest-working acts in British music. Just a couple of weeks ago, the Tottenham native blessed us with the single “2 Chains”, but never one to rest on his laurels, the drill star is back with a new one in “Beggars Can’t Be Choosers”. Produced by QuincyTellEm, Headie stands tall on the reverberating, […]

South London-born singer, songwriter and rapper Ling Hussle has unveiled her new project, I Hope You Like This—a strictly R&B, six-track offering from the sometimes rapper. Just like June’s Still Here EP, Ling’s latest is another featureless venture. But make no mistake: she packs enough vocal charm and vigour for two.  The EP opens up with the relationship thesis “Fool”; Ling’s […]
