After much fanfare—and some next-level visuals for pre-release singles “Leon The Professional”, “Nice & Good”, “Alpha House”, and “Hide & Seek”—Knucks’ new project, Alpha Place, has finally arrived. And as an added bonus for fans, it also features his Breaking Bad-themed hit “Los Pollos Hermanos” from a few years ago. Alongside the previously released singles, the set […]

A year on from the special, live-streamed ceremony held in the midst of lockdown, last night saw the MOBO Awards return with its first live in-person ceremony at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Hosted by Munya Chawawa and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, the ceremony broke from tradition by eschewing broadcast on one of the major channels, instead opting […]

Following a couple of perfectly-aimed singles and a flawless Billionaire Boys Club x PLACES + FACES collaboration, Unknown T is back with the jewel in this year’s crown: his brand new mixtape, Adolescence. The rapper first announced the tape back in June with a COLORS performane of “Goodums” and then quickly followed it up with “Driller Sh!t” earlier […]

Produced by TSB, the new track’s still driven by the kind of sliding bass that […]

With a turbulent few years firmly in the rear view, watching Digga D flourish has been a big highlight for rap and drill fans over the past year. We’ve watched the young West London rapper score big hits with tracks like “Woi”, “Chingy” and “Bringing It Back” with AJ Tracey (the latter of which hit the Top […]

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.
