Headie One is easily one of the hardest-working acts in British music. Just a couple of weeks ago, the Tottenham native blessed us with the single “2 Chains”, but never one to rest on his laurels, the drill star is back with a new one in “Beggars Can’t Be Choosers”. Produced by QuincyTellEm, Headie stands tall on the reverberating, […]
South London-born singer, songwriter and rapper Ling Hussle has unveiled her new project, I Hope You Like This—a strictly R&B, six-track offering from the sometimes rapper. Just like June’s Still Here EP, Ling’s latest is another featureless venture. But make no mistake: she packs enough vocal charm and vigour for two. The EP opens up with the relationship thesis “Fool”; Ling’s […]
Children Of Zeus—everyone’s favourite soul-rap duo from Manchester—are back with the visuals for “I Need You”, one of the highlights from their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Balance. Tyler Daley’s smooth vocals lead the neo-soul, R&B-glazed soundscape, whilst Konny Kon comes through with a husky rap verse over the COZ-produced beat. Directed by Gina Snow, the accompanying visuals breathe new life and perspective into […]
He’s a famed grime producer, a music exec, an author and a BBC Radio 1Xtra host, but now—after co-hosting The Rap Game UK with Krept & Konan—DJ Target is fully stepping into the world of TV with his brand new show, Tonight With Target. Making its big debut on BBC Three on September 3, Tonight With Target is a six-part series that aims […]
Following May’s “Cheer Me Up” single with Saint Jude, South London rapper Louis Culture is back with a set of striking visuals for his new song, “Naked”. Floating over a Jim Reed production, Louis Culture deploys a myriad of different flows in less than three minutes, and as the track stories the aftermath of a broken relationship, […]
Back in late July, Skepta released his All In EP, a five-track tome produced by himself and Ragz Originale with guest appearances from Kid Cudi, J Balvin and Teezee. “Eyes On Me” was one of the key highlights of the tape, straddling Skepta’s newer sound with some nods to his roots—not least the recurring “Hey!” from More Fire Crew’s “Oi!”. Directed […]
Back in June, UK producer Swindle put out a funk-rap hybrid with Kojey Radical, Loyle Carner and JNR Williams called “Lost”. As it turns out, that was the first track to be heard from his upcoming fourth studio album, The New World, and since then we’ve had “Darkest Hour” with Daley and Poppy Ajudha, and now […]
South London rapper KAM-BU’s debut EP, Black On Black, has landed. In his own words, KAM-BU described the set as “an ode to the Windrush generation, its descendants, and all diaspora in foreign lands.” Boasting a varied palette of beats from PULLEN, Kurisu, Leon Vynehall, Tom Henry, Venna, Knucks and HYLNU, Black On Black rotates between pro-Black, socially conscious numbers such […]
Ever since he began his music exec journey in the late 2000s, Birmingham-born Despa Robinson has consistently connected his city with the wider music industry, which wasn’t the easiest thing to do when he had next to no connections to the industry’s London base. Some of Despa’s earliest clients include: StayFresh, the Midlands grime collective, and S-X, the man behind one of […]
Newham-raised rap star Morrisson has been in music for well over a decade now, and despite blessing speakers across the land with bangers like last month’s “Blama” with Steel Banglez and Tion Wayne, and the Aitch-assisted “House & Garage”, Morrisson hasn’t dropped a project since 2009’s The Best Of Morrisson. Fans can rest easy now as the artist […]
