In a short two years, Toronto-based rapper Hoodz9 is establishing himself as a rising force in the city’s vibrant rap scene. He’s already released a steady stream of material including last year’s EP Profit, as well as collaborated with heavy-hitters from the city including Houdini, Why G and Yung Tory. For his latest single, “Adore,” […]
In Swizz Beatz‘s opinion, the rap stars of today should be paying “taxes” to hip-hop’s founders. Consider them membership dues. He said as much during a conversation with Joe Budden when the two were talking on Beatz’s Zone Radio on Instagram Live, as reported by Page Six. “I want to raise a million dollars for […]
As with every release from South London’s Sneakbo, anticipation for his second studio album 9 Lives was sky-high. The project was teased for months on his socials via mysterious posts and images, which could have easily backfired, but the general consensus is that it has more than lived up to the hype and makes a worthy addition to his growing […]
Barely two weeks after he dropped the defiant “Being Me”, South West London’s Louis Culture is back with the thematic sequel, “Part 2”, which sees Louis reunite with Pullen who again provides the beat and the visuals. Kicking off with a clip from his January show as part of Boiler Room’s Low Heat series, Louis sets the […]
South London has created yet another masterpiece. What Kinda Music is the latest collaborative effort from singer/guitarist Tom Misch and drummer Yussef Dayes, the record’s ambiguity and freedom reigning heavy throughout. Taking a very loose interpretation of their respective jazz backgrounds, the two musicians partner on an album that heralds no genre—it is just simply art—and […]
Using art and creativity as therapy is a tried and tested elixir — and certainly one to be encouraged — and for Bristol rapper Taurri it was literally a life-saver. His new album XIII was written in the wake of severe mental health issues that culminated in a night of excess that almost took his life. Thankfully, […]
A couple of months ago, London-based rapper and singer Bexey dropped his fourth EP Blood, Magic & Diamonds — a six-track showcase of his fluid delivery style that smudges the lines between singing and rapping. Today, he’s revisiting the project to give some dramatic visual treatment to key track “Flatline”. Bathed in heavy rain and backed by a […]
In this time of uncertainty — or any crisis — there are a few things we can always rely on to keep us sane. Two of the most effective antidotes are music and our relationships. Taking that idea further is North London’s Natty Wylah whose new single “4 Siblings” (due tomorrow, April 24) unpacks the […]
In the ten-plus years that he’s been in the game, East London rapper Guvna B‘s work-rate hasn’t paused for one second, releasing a staggering nine full-length albums in this time. The ninth and latest addition to his expansive catalogue is the recently released album Everywhere + Nowhere, a stunningly thoughtful examination of grief and loss that also aims […]
By now we’ve all got to grips with Insomnia, the surprise team-up between Skepta, Chip and Young Adz, and it looks like the party’s not over yet because they’ve just dropped the album’s second set of visuals, this time for the Skepta-produced opener “Mains”. Unlike the barely-contained rowdiness of the “Waze” video that launched the album, […]
