It was only last month that Tion Wayne shared a No. 1 track with Russ Millions in “Body”, but now he’s back with another catchy drill number for our headtops. “Wow” is the title of Tion’s latest single, and it’s already destined to do big things by fans.  Produced by CZR Beats and Pxtrik, the thumping 808 drums perfectly complement the rapper’s […]

Elusive, bally-clad rapper wewantwraiths is today sharing the visuals for his new single, “Lifestyle”. Following on from his first charting single, “Know You” (No. 59), in March, the independent artist from Leicester continues on his path to stardom here, complete with Auto-Tuned, melodic flows and from-the-heart rhymes.  In less than 12 months, wewantwraiths has accumulated millions […]

Music, film and fashion—Last Night In Paris do it all. The London-based collective were making noise back in 2013, touted by many as the UK’s answer to Odd Future, but being the low-key vibe-creators that they are, it’s felt as if they’ve been on a hiatus since their last big hit, 2018’s “Soirée”. However, if you’ve been fully in-tune with […]

Adding to what has already been a blockbuster year for him, West London rapper Central Cee is back with visuals for Wild West standout “Ruby”.  The track was a clear highlight on an otherwise rock-solid project (which debuted at No. 2), putting a fresh spin on the iconic sample from Foreigner’s “Cold As Ice” that MOP had […]

British rap star Dave has officially unveiled Nike and Skepta’s much-anticipated ‘Phantom SK’ Football Boot, a design that sees Big Smoke apply his creative vision to the world of football for the first time. The launch is a historic moment for both Nike and Skepta, with SK becoming the first music artist to collaborate with Nike on […]

Rising from the ashes of Bloodline (the successor to Meridian Crew), Milli Major, Bossman Birdie and Paper Pabs have joined forces as 3Smoke and they’ve just dropped their first single together, “Side Of The Step”. The new drop follows quickly on from Milli Major and Bossman’s “My Way”, which came with a nostalgic video that looked […]

It’s been a whirlwind couple of years for BackRoad Gee—filled with high-profile collabs and a sky-high stack of underground hits—but the wins don’t stop just yet as he strikes once again with “A Yo”, a decadent anthem with assistance from BG and TizzTrap. Produced by Nick French, “A Yo” is probably even more riotous than you’d […]

It’s been a long time coming, but RV has now dropped off his new tape, Rico Vondelle, and it’s a stunning showcase of what the North Londoner can do when he’s in the driving seat. For the most part, RV’s the star of the show—as he should be—but there’s still a good few collabs and one or […]

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 […]
