French The Kid’s grind continues at an impressive rate. It was only this time last year that he released his debut album, Never Been Ordinary, but he’s back with his new mixtape, No Signal. We got our first taste of the project back in October with “White Wine”, followed by “Snow” in December, “Single Player” in February and then […]

He’s been building up to this for a few months now, but Che Lingo has finally released his second album, Coming Up For Air. The first taste came with “My Radio”, a surprise collab with Queen’s famed drummer Roger Taylor, followed by “Out Of The Blue” earlier this month. At 10 tracks, it’s a lean collection, […]

Doja Cat wants to make sure her doubters know she can rap. Image via Twitter Image via Twitter   Image via Twitter On Saturday, Doja tweeted, “no more pop…i also agree with everyone who said the majority of my rap verses are mid and corny. I know they are. I wasnt trying to prove […]

Back with his third release in as many months, The Last Skeptik has just lifted the lid on the video for his latest single, “The Deli”. Produced by Tornoto-hailing Mike Gonek, the new track combines an eerily twinkly melody and pared-back beat with a stream-of-consciousness-style delivery. Playing to that, director Nimbo Prime has put together […]

The last few years have given Digga D plenty to celebrate. His career’s back on track and doing better than ever and his life, in general, seems to be on the up. Hardly surprising then that he’s dropping feel-good bangers like “Energy”. Digga hasn’t gone soft by any stretch, but this new tune feels like he’s […]

Back in 2018, streamer MularJuice made the leap from vlogging and content creation to the studio booth, steadily pushing out a series of singles that switched between Auto-Tuned trap and bassy drill cuts. He maintained a consistent release schedule in the years that followed, but last year was a comparatively quiet one with just two singles—“Loyalty” […]

Following on from his debut project, I Found Paradise In Hell, in 2020, South London’s Kasien is back with his new mixtape, Don’t Let The Devil In. At 10 tracks, it’s almost as streamlined as its predecessor and taps into many of the same themes—specifically hedonism and the darker places it can take you. Operating at the […]

After a pretty hectic couple of years, including a multi-year run of well-received singles and live performances, the last few months were deservedly quiet and restful for ENNY. As it turns out, this brief pause was partly a much-need rest and recalibration, but also a spell of writer’s block. That all came to an end […]

Last year, Manchester’s newest rap prospect Nemzzz had a run of hits that was beyond formidable. He dropped five faultless solo singles—which included “ABC”, the Jersey-Drill hybrid that had everyone talking—and in between those he also made two very well-aimed collabs, one with TikTok wunderkind KidWild and the other with Knucks. He really didn’t put a foot wrong […]

Two years ago to the day, Abra Cadabra released the Mixed Emotions EP, a surprising four-piece that revealed a new, more melodic side to the North London rapper. Now, Abra returns with its sequel, but this time around he’s found more of a balance between the rough and the smooth.  Mixed Emotions II was signposted yesterday with the release […]
