Later this month (May 26), Manga Saint Hilare and Blay Vision will release their collaborative EP, Save Yourself. Manga officially announced the project this time last week, but we got the first taste of it last month when they put out the first single, “1234”. With just over a week to go, they’ve now dropped off visuals […]
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 […]
Video games have played as much of a vital role in the creation of grime as the sounds and styles of dancehall, UK garage, and jungle music. Most of the genre’s early hitmakers will tell you they used the Playstation game Music 2000 to make their icy, earth-splitting riddims on, while super-fans on forums such as reddit claim the […]
After the success of the “Activated” remix with Logan, Roachee and Snowy, and “Man Know” with P Money and Capo Lee, Manga Saint Hilare’s back with another team-up on his new single “OWT”.

Released in collaboration with producer Lewi B, the 12-track project features lyrical street sonnets placed over ear-popping grime beats, drill-inspired thumps and, of course, party-ready numbers like “NRG”—which is home to a 2-step […]
On top of getting props from Chuck D in Dublin (more on that in a minute), Cadence Weapon also wants to carry on the legacy of Public Enemy, Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Clash, and other power-fighting artists, making himself a rarity in this flashy TikTok age. He explores facial recognition’s hidden evils over the chirping […]
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 […]
