This time last month, Krept & Konan came storming back into our lives with “Dat Way”, a big, up-front banger that saw them reunite with “Robbery Remix” co-conspirator Abra Cadabra for the duo’s first bit of new music in three years. That was a welcome enough gift as it was, but now they’re back with an […]
Quite often when we write these lists, we’ll half-complain about how much of a struggle it is and woe-is-me-I’ve-been-tearing-my-hair-out, but the truth is this process was actually the most fun it’s ever been this year. A big part of that is how diverse music has been in 2022. Diversity, to some extent, has always been […]
Here at Complex, we wanted to acknowledge and honour the achievements of UK rappers this past year by compiling a list of the 10 best! To help us with this difficult task, we brought in some top industry experts and insiders, including Complex UK’s Editor-In-Chief, Joseph ‘JP’ Patterson, super-producer M1OnTheBeat, Capital Xtra’s Robert Bruce, Block […]
UK rap (and to an even greater degree, UK drill) has come under a bit of flak this year. The naysayers are circling with accusations of “bait samples” and a lack of originality, but when we sat down to run through our pick of the year’s best songs, it turns out that was a load […]
It’s barely been a month since K-Trap released The Last Whip II, a star-studded 19-tracker that became an instant fan favourite and a standout for the year, but he’s already back with a big A-list remix of Trapo highlight “Warm”. When the UK drill star announced the remix’s imminent arrival on Tuesday, he simply posted the artwork with […]
K-Trap fans are in a golden age right now. It was only six months ago that we got his blockbuster Joints project with Blade Brown and a year ago that he dropped off his last solo venture Trapo, but he’s already back with another full-length, The Last Whip II. It’s an unparalleled level of productivity and so far the quality […]
Birmingham rapper Stardom is back with his new mixtape, Street Profit. Anticipation for this one has been building for some time now. We got the first taste of the project way back in January last year when he released “Blew” with Rimzee, putting the whole scene on notice, before he ultimately confirmed the tape’s impending arrival some […]
The idea of a joint mixtape is one that often exists in the realm of possibility but rarely in reality. If two artists make a successful song together, fans instantly start calling for a fuller body of work. On some occasions, one track is all we need. In other instances, a project makes complete sense. […]
It’s finally here. Blade Brown and K-Trap’s Joints mixtape—one of this year’s most eagerly awaited UK rap projects—has officially landed. Ever since the tape was confirmed to be happening in July last year, we’ve all been on tenterhooks. After putting us out of our misery with “6 Figures” earlier this month, they dropped off visuals for “Joints 2” last night […]
All the way back in July last year, South London rap giant Blade Brown confirmed in an interview that a joint mixtape with K-Trap was headed our way. It’s something fans have been crying out for after the pair swapped features on Bags & Boxes 4 and Street Side Effects, and the tape’s rollout has now officially begun with the […]
