UK rap and grime are not the same. Though they operate in similar spaces, the two British genres are different entities. UK drill, road rap’s offspring, is arguably the closest thing there is to grime—from styles and flows to beat patterns—but even then, it’s still very much its own stable. So many lazy, uncultured hacks would have you believe it but not […]
Adding to the mountain of golden UK rap releases coming out this month, Nines is back with NSG for “Airplane Mode”, the second single from his recently-announced Crabs In A Bucket album. Living up to the example set by previous single “Clout“, “Airplane Mode” comes with some polished visuals (directed by Nines and Charlie Di Placido) that put Nines […]
It’s been over a decade since Youngs Teflon kicked off his Call Of Duty mixtape series with its seminal first volume and a good nine years since its follow-up, Call Of Duty 2: Riot Season. But this Friday, the South London rapper returns with two new tracks from a long-awaited third volume. The first of those is “Alpo” with […]
JD Cliffe may be criminally slept on (seriously, we’ve been talling you about him for time, get on it), but that hasn’t stopped him giving us two of the best releases of the year. First came February’s “Come Again”, a laid-back yet upbeat bubbler with a suitably understated visual to boot, and now he’s back […]
You might recognise her from YouTube, you may even know her as the socialite from East London, but rumour has it Ivorian Doll is reppin’ for the ladies via rap in full effect. The unfiltered 22-year-old means what she says and says what she means, and her mission is clear: to show that women can go just as hard as the boys […]
At the top of this year, Peckham rapper JonnoAQ released his monster new EP F.E.A.R, a seven-track behemoth and his biggest project to date. Since then he’s treated us to visuals for lead single “Head Lock” and now he’s back with the second set, this time for the defiant “Say So”. Self-styled as ‘SE15’s Best Kept […]
UK drill really is having an incredible year, isn’t it? We’ve now got a whole legion of breakout stars pushing the sound into new and unexpected territories and chief amongst them is SL, whose new EP Selhurst SE25 sees him link up with famed producer Kenny Beats with epic results. We caught the first cut last month when […]

West London rhymer Knucks has been on an almighty run since day one. Even when he dropped 2014’s Killmatic in his teens, he was by no means new to writing and rapping, having started at just 12 years old. All these years later and he’s practically a veteran, but he’s by no means resting on his laurels. Ahead […]
Following on from previous Latin-licked offerings “Shippuden” and “Pull Up“, Harlem Spartans rapper Blanco returns with new guitar-led single “Memphis”. Blanco’s raspy flow comes to life on AB On The Beats’ Afro-Latin-tinged production as he shares the moves he’s making in his quest to secure the bag. The ‘Blanco Wave’ is there for all to see in the accompanying visuals, too, as […]
