Following on from the massive success of “Ay Caramba” last year, London streetwear brand Lizzy are back with the next single from their now eagerly-awaited Stay Flee Get Lizzy mixtape. “2 Cups” is an even bigger team-up than its predecessor, this time uniting Tory Lanez, Popcaan and Fredo for what could prove to be another big hit. Driven by a […]
Northern rhymer and Complex favourite ATO is back with another artfully crafted video for his new single “24”. Just like the black-and-white visuals for April’s “Still Running“, the Joey Brodnax-directed video frames ATO’s introspective lyrics and almost meditative delivery in a style that’s lo-fi and DIY, yet polished and poised. Equally, the production from long-term collaborator EDEN […]
Back in March, Little Simz dropped her latest album, GREY Area, a stunning addition to her impressive catalogue. It might be hard to believe, but the album was her fifth and has been bearing fruits ever since. The latest single to emerge is “Flowers”, a jazzy collaboration with soul singer Michael Kiwanuka, produced by Astronote and Inflo, that’s just been […]
Not that it matters, but Ben Shapiro thinks that the biggest genre in the world isn’t music. On his latest episode of The Ben Shapiro Show, the political commentator had a conversation with Zuby.

Following his involvement in Ed Sheeran’s latest No. 1 with Stormzy, Manchester’s newest star, Aitch, has released his eagerly-awaited AitcH20 EP. Anticipation has been high for the rapper’s new project — previous singles “Already” with Tyreezy and “Taste (Make It Shake)” fuelled the hype that was sparked with the announcement last month. Elsewhere on the 8-track tape, highlights come from new […]
Last week, West London pair WSTRN dropped off their brand new full-length, WSTRN Season, Vol. 2, a triumphant return we described as “the perfect follow-up to their 2018 EP, Double 3AK“. Like that project and the 2016 debut Season, guest spots were kept to a minimum; the handful of collaborations that did appear were only of the A-list […]
A day after it was revealed that Young Thug‘s So Much Fun is his first ever No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, it is now being reported that he’s also landed 11 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 (for the week of August 31), with 10 of those spots being occupied by music from his […]
Young Thug can now officially add a No. 1 album to his resume. Billboard is reporting that the week of August 16-22 wrapped up with So Much Fun in the top spot. Young Thug pushed 131,000 equivalent album units this past week, with just 5,000 of those coming in album sales. He earned nearly 168 […]
Smudging the boundaries between hip-hop and pop, Indian ascending star Abhi The Nomad today presents his new single “Me No Evil”, taken from his upcoming album Modern Trash. His delivery is a direct fusion of those two styles, laying his half-rapped, half-sung vocals over the punchy drums and infectious guitar licks. His lyrical content would […]
In a recently uploaded video from Tim Westwood TV, Dave East put together a freestyle that doubled as a tribute to Nipsey Hussle, as well as some other fallen friends. You may remember that, on the Monday after Hussle’s death, East (who previously collaborated with Nipsey) held a candlelight visual for the slain rapper in New York City. […]
