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 […]
This week, Lil Baby is back with his highly-anticipated album, It’s Only Me, which features a standout collaboration between him and Young Thug, entitled, “Never Hating.” Stormzy also came out with new heat with his single “Hide and Seek,” which captures the perfect vibe as we get further into the fall season. Check out those and more in […]
Up until a couple of weeks ago, it had been a little while since we heard any new music from Stormzy. Then he seized the timeline with the stunning 10-minute visual for “Mel Made Me Do It”, a celebration of Black British culture and a lot of the key players from recent history. Naturally, we […]
It’s been a little while since we last heard from Stormzy. We’ve had features for Knucks, Ghetts, Dave, Headie One, and a few others, but the last time we got a solo tune was when he went head-to-head with Wiley in 2020. Still, he’s back now, and he returns in the grandest possible way. Late […]
Global Citizen Festival has announced the lineup for next month’s 10th anniversary edition. On Sept. 24, the fest will return to New York City’s Central Park, where the international advocacy organization held its inaugural event in 2012. Hosted by Global Citizen ambassador Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the NYC portion of the festivities will see live performances from Mariah Carey, Charlie […]
After much fanfare—and some next-level visuals for pre-release singles “Leon The Professional”, “Nice & Good”, “Alpha House”, and “Hide & Seek”—Knucks’ new project, Alpha Place, has finally arrived. And as an added bonus for fans, it also features his Breaking Bad-themed hit “Los Pollos Hermanos” from a few years ago. Alongside the previously released singles, the set […]
Just a few weeks after he officially announced his new album (no long, protracted build-ups here), Dave has made good on his promise with the release of his second studio album, We’re All Alone In This Together. The title, as we learned from the widely-discussed GQ interview that landed the same day as the announcement, came from a […]
Over the past decade and a bit, the resourcefulness of British music, particularly Black British music, has made it the cultural powerhouse it is today. Rappers and producers from the UK are now setting pace across the globe, but a big part of that success is owed to the tireless creatives working behind the cameras. […]
The Grammy Awards have always been controversial. For as long as they have existed (61 years), their results have been hotly debated. This year, however, “music’s biggest night” was perhaps its most controversial ever. Already on the backfoot thanks to pandemic restrictions, with no live audience and awards presented on an outdoor stage, the ceremony netted its […]
After officially announcing the title of his upcoming album, Conflict Of Interest, Ghetts is kicking off 2021 with one of the album’s key singles, “Skengman” with Stormzy. The new track is actually the third single to be taken from the album, following “Mozambique” with Jaykae and Moonchild Sanelly and “IC3” with Skepta—both of which were widely […]
