It’s been a long road, albeit a carefully considered and well-paced one, but Potter Payper’s debut album, Real Back In Style, has finally been released. To coincide with the album’s launch, Potter also released an animated visualiser for the latest single and album closer, “White Ash”, which follows “Blame Brexit”, “Multifaceted” and “Corner Boy”. Fans have […]

Five years after entering the rap game, Manchester’s Tunde has shares his first full-length mixtape, First Lap.

Established dons like Footsie, Manga and Potter Payper all released […]

Having returned from prison in June, Potter has been hard at work, dropping an EP in 2020 Vision and a number of highly-rated freestyles. “Purpose” sees the Essex-raised rapper fire out hard-hitting bars that pay homage to his past and embraces his hopes for the future.
