The plaudits and awards are still technically rolling in for Little Simz’s Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, and honestly, we were content with letting it roll a little longer and continuing to digest it, but then last week, Simbi took to her socials to make the shock announcement that not only had she been working on […]
Drake and 21 Savage are continuing to rollout Her Loss on their terms. During tonight’s Saturday Night Live episode with host Amy Schumer and musical guest Steve Lacy, Drake and 21 Savage shared another spoof video on social media. This time, the duo parodied an appearance on SNL with Michael B. Jordan introducing them. They performed […]
It’s been a long, cold year for Fredo fans. He’s been active in other ways, but the last time we heard him on wax was his Independence Day project—and that was August last year. Today, however, he returns with the fittingly titled “I’m Back”. Backed up by CDS and Handz Beatz on production, he splits the track into […]
It’s been in the pipeline for more than a minute, but Dapz On The Map’s debut album, Landed, has finally arrived after pre-release singles “Contingency” and “Give Thanks”. Back in March, the Birmingham native also released a quick two-tracker called Connecting Flights, which featured “Never Ever” with Infamous Dimez and “Hunger Games” with Swifta Beater, and although neither […]

Last month, he revealed “Hope” a track that hinted at the promise of sounds heavily inspired by the cosmic, head-expanding jazz, funk, and soul of the 1970s, and today we get one last pre-release gem in “Modele V”, […]
Following last month’s WIZE-produced, grime-meets-drill drop “Namaste”, UK rap newcomer Zino Vinci is back to show us more of what he’s capable of with his new single, “CEO Of The Friendship Group”. While the song title is a play on the much-discussed meme about being “the leader of your friendship group”, the lyrical content takes listeners on a journey […]
Rimzee is on a full-on promo tour when I call him up for this interview. He has just hit Bristol, with his team, and is parking up for our talk. The road rap legend is out spreading the gospel of Cold Feet, his third ever project, which he’s hoping will take his career to the next […]
Having postponed the original awards ceremony due to the Queen’s passing in September—called off at the very last minute after guests had already arrived—the Mercury Music Prize returned to London’s Eventim Apollo last night and named Little Simz as the big winner for her masterpiece fourth album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. Also in the running for […]
Up until a couple of weeks ago, it had been a little while since we heard any new music from Stormzy. Then he seized the timeline with the stunning 10-minute visual for “Mel Made Me Do It”, a celebration of Black British culture and a lot of the key players from recent history. Naturally, we […]
After four years of EPs, singles, and a mixtape, Flohio has just released her debut album proper, Out Of Heart.

Longtime collaborators God Colony and Speech act as executive producers on the project […]
