Late last year, Afro-Cuban French duo Ibeyi, aka Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz, dropped off their stellar Pa Salieu collab “Made Of Gold”, and with it came the announcement that they’d been working on material for a new album.

Just a few weeks after he officially announced his new album (no long, protracted build-ups here), Dave has made good on his promise with the release of his second studio album, We’re All Alone In This Together. The title, as we learned from the widely-discussed GQ interview that landed the same day as the announcement, came from a […]

Birmingham’s Jaykae is back, but this time he’s on a garage tip for his new single “1000 Nights”, and joining him on this new one is Walsall’s finest, Jorja Smith. Switching up from the tongue-in-cheek energy of “Chop (Henry 8th)” in May, Ezrah’s gentle 2-step production acts as the backdrop for what is a pretty grim tale. In […]

Following on from last year’s loosies “Imaginary Friends”, “Ghostin’” and “Martys”, Walsall-born rapper, singer and producer Wesley Joseph’s debut project, Ultramarine, has arrived with eight tracks that showcase his star potential.  Supported by lead single “Patience”, featuring fellow Walsall native Jorja Smith, its accompanying video, directed by Joseph, is a cinematic piece which sees the pair ride down a lonely road in a vintage car before ultimutely […]

Let’s be honest: It’s been an unusual year in music so far. At the midway point of 2021, many of the heavyweights in rap and pop are still holding on to their albums, waiting for the full-blown return of live concerts and festivals. In their absence, up-and-comers like Pooh Shiesty and Olivia Rodrigo have stepped […]
