It’s been over a decade since Youngs Teflon kicked off his Call Of Duty mixtape series with its seminal first volume and a good nine years since its follow-up, Call Of Duty 2: Riot Season. But this Friday, the South London rapper returns with two new tracks from a long-awaited third volume. The first of those is “Alpo” with […]
JD Cliffe may be criminally slept on (seriously, we’ve been talling you about him for time, get on it), but that hasn’t stopped him giving us two of the best releases of the year. First came February’s “Come Again”, a laid-back yet upbeat bubbler with a suitably understated visual to boot, and now he’s back […]

He went on to man sessions with the T-dot artists who […]
The music industry is definitely in a bit of a lull at the moment with the absence of touring and large-scale events, but KILLY isn’t letting 2020 slow him down. This year he’s already released tracks like “Sailor Moon” and “VV’s;” bagged his fourth JUNO nomination for his project, Light Path 8; and today is […]
Walsall-raised, London-based newcomer Wesley Joseph is the one-man band you need to know now. The rapper, singer, songwriter, producer and filmmaker (who was once in a hip-hop crew with Jorja Smith called OG Horse) has brought his lyric-heavy sound to the fore with tracks like “Imaginary Friends” and “Martyr” gaining a lot of traction online. Today, he’s […]
