For the past year or so, Steel Banglez had been a little quiet on the music front. After the passing of his good friend Sidhu Moose Wala, the producer understandably took a little time out of the limelight. He returned last month with “Mera Na”, the third posthumous release from Wala that also served as Banglez’s […]
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 […]

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 […]

Stepping away from the usual tough-talking street rap, “Anything” opens up the Clapton rhymer’s romantic side and was one of UPD2’s highlights. WSTRN singer Haile featured on the original, but the […]
