For his new album TYRON, Slowthai aimed to turn a difficult time in his life into a musical moment of light. The creative process behind the album, divided into two “discs” of seven tracks each, was detailed in a note to fans last November. “I am far from perfect but I’ve learnt a lot about myself whilst […]
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. However! Music, as always, has been an […]
A decade ago, Kid Cudi delivered Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, a sequel—just one year removed—to his debut studio album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. To say that both albums have extended a long arm of influence across music in the years since would be an understatement, […]

It’s been a tumultuous decade for all of us. The past ten years have seen Britian host the Olympics, endure uninterrupted Tory rule and conclude it by crashing out of the European Union in the most embarrassing way possible. Similarly, grime hasn’t exactly had a smooth run. From the genre’s beginning (2001) up until around 2009, it had made a […]
Grime was never supposed to win, let alone last this long. Fresh out the gate, the elder statesmen of UK garage refused entry to our tracksuit-wearing masters of ceremonies, leaving them no other option but to create their own stage. Then there was ‘the establishment’ and mainstream press to deal with, who felt the content was […]
Collaborations reign supreme (no pun intended) this week with new sneakers on the way from notable names like Supreme, Skepta, Odell Beckham Jr., and more. The week kicks with an exclusive drop of the “Magnet” Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 on Wednesday via Yeezy Supply. On Thursday, the Chinatown Market x Converse collection, Skepta x Nike Shox […]
