South London’s Santino Le Saint, who made our R&B artists to watch list for 2021, is today unveiling the visuals for his single “Dopamine”, featuring Newham rapper Lancey Foux.

Produced by Ken Samson, […]
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.
