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 […]
South London rapper Benjamin A.D continues his tireless run of singles with his latest drop, “Losing” with Kojey Radical, and it comes with a fresh new visual to boot. Produced by WAVSDNTDIE and Jerome Williams (the mastermind behind Crop Circle 2 highlight “Highly Blessed”), it’s a motivational banger of sorts. Together, the two artists weigh in on the […]
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. An energetic introduction to the 0161 rhymer, it’s a varied showcase of his style that puts his fast-talking flow against a broad range of beats, stretching more or less across the full spectrum of rap. For production, he’s sourced beats […]
We are officially in Nines season. After dropping his long-awaited and long-overdue Crop Circle 2 last week, Nines has just dropped off the video for its latest single, “Different League” with Nafe Smallz and Clavish, along with the official Crop Circle 2 short film (his third short film) which features artists such as Knucks, Miraa May and Litty Lightz, and […]
A week or so ago, Nines was spotted meeting up with Larry June and The Alchemist. Earlier this week, Twitter was arguing about which UK artists Al should work with. Rightly, someone pointed out that there aren’t many UK rhymers who would mesh with that sound, either because of style or experience. One exception that […]
After a bit of a quiet spell, which the vast majority of us assumed was the retirement he spoke about a few years ago, Nines is back with a new video and confirmation that the rumours are indeed true: Crop Circle 2 is happening and it’s happening very, very soon. Back in December, Nines posted a picture on […]
French The Kid’s grind continues at an impressive rate. It was only this time last year that he released his debut album, Never Been Ordinary, but he’s back with his new mixtape, No Signal. We got our first taste of the project back in October with “White Wine”, followed by “Snow” in December, “Single Player” in February and then […]
He’s been building up to this for a few months now, but Che Lingo has finally released his second album, Coming Up For Air. The first taste came with “My Radio”, a surprise collab with Queen’s famed drummer Roger Taylor, followed by “Out Of The Blue” earlier this month. At 10 tracks, it’s a lean collection, […]
Hakkz has been a little quiet of late—it’s been the thick end of a year since he released his debut EP, Diary Of A Litty Kid—and it looks like the discussions about his absence haven’t escaped him because he’s back to address that very subject with his appropriately-titled new single “Drop Music More”. He’s not short of energy […]
