Last night’s BRIT Awards was a big one and not just for the nominees. It was the first televised awards show with a live audience and, following a rave in Liverpool and one or two other events, one of the first mass gatherings with no masks and social distancing. It’s too early to tell how […]
Over the past decade and a bit, the resourcefulness of British music, particularly Black British music, has made it the cultural powerhouse it is today. Rappers and producers from the UK are now setting pace across the globe, but a big part of that success is owed to the tireless creatives working behind the cameras. […]
The Grammy Awards have always been controversial. For as long as they have existed (61 years), their results have been hotly debated. This year, however, “music’s biggest night” was perhaps its most controversial ever. Already on the backfoot thanks to pandemic restrictions, with no live audience and awards presented on an outdoor stage, the ceremony netted its […]
As we wave goodbye to another year in the terrordome and try not to think about what 2021 will bring, we can at least be grateful that British musicians somehow managed to top the year before—no mean feat, given the blockbuster works 2019 gave us. Established dons like Footsie, Manga and Potter Payper all released […]

After marking his return from prison with a stunning Daily Duppy in April, J Hus is now officially back with his first proper release of the year. “Must Be” is built around production from his long-time collaborator JAE5, tapping into the magic the pair created on Common Sense. Dripping in the laid-back swagger that made their creations so […]
The Bouff Daddy is back and he’s just dropped a brand new freestyle to mark his return. J Hus made his grand entrance at Drake’s O2 show last week, but this is the first bit of new music we’ve had from him since he was released from prison. Although he recorded this freestyle before he went away, J […]
Last night saw the release of Dave‘s explosive debut album, Psychodrama, along with some fun and energetic visuals for second single “Streatham”. The campaign for Psychodrama was kicked off back in February with the release of “Black“, a potent discussion of the black experience that encouraged people of colour to celebrate who they are.
