For the past year or so, Steel Banglez had been a little quiet on the music front. After the passing of his good friend Sidhu Moose Wala, the producer understandably took a little time out of the limelight. He returned last month with “Mera Na”, the third posthumous release from Wala that also served as Banglez’s […]

It’s been a busy couple of months for Apprentice Nation, the very necessary UK-based youth development platform whose main aim is to support young people in shaping their future. Throughout the past month, Apprentice Nation have been using a combination of entertainment and education—or “edutainment” as they call it—to offer young people workshops, online content, live webinars and […]

Earlier this year, Lucozade announced the launch of a new partnership with youth development platform Apprentice Nation, to support the organisation in their mission to give young people the skills and tools they need to get ahead in both their personal and professional lives.

At the top of last year, we predicted that 2020 would bring a raft of experimentation from the UK drill scene, and what followed was one of the most exciting years in British music that saw all our expectations surpassed. It wasn’t just UK drill that dominated either—a glut of British rappers and MCs came […]

Last year, we opened this feature with the words “2019 has been strongly mixed”, and given the thunderstorm of horror that has been 2020—a dreadful cocktail of a globe-trotting deadly virus, worldwide economic devastation and worsening race relations—we’d do just about anything to go back to those halcyon days. However! Music, as always, has been an […]

Here come the girls! Rising London rappers Br3nya and Ivorian Doll have joined Bad B forces for new single “Bezerk”. Keeping us on their toes over Who-Else’s twinkly drill production—as well as some stylishly sexy visuals—the ladies show us that 1) two women in rap can get along, and 2) they can rock the mic just as hard as the […]

You might recognise her from YouTube, you may even know her as the socialite from East London, but rumour has it Ivorian Doll is reppin’ for the ladies via rap in full effect. The unfiltered 22-year-old means what she says and says what she means, and her mission is clear: to show that women can go just as hard as the boys […]

Staten Island’s G4 Boyz know when to strike when the iron’s hot. Real-life brothers Buggy and Ice Baby released “Local Scammer” back in December 2019, with the NY-LDN drill link-up becoming something of an underground anthem. Produced by the UK’s FNR Beats, the track—which features a hook from G4’s London affiliate, G4Choppa—has gone on to garner millions of […]
