Just shy of a year on from the release of SMH, Vibbar rhymer and podcaster Jordy is back with the KMT EP. We got our first tastes of the EP with pre-release singles “Enemies” and “PEAK!”, and to celebrate the project’s release, he also released its third single, “Forty Acres”, with Wretch 32. In many ways, KMT is a spiritual successor […]
After a short hiatus, South London’s ayrtn—who, at the top of the year, made our rappers to watch list—is back like he never left. Hailed as one of the new leaders of the UK’s alt-rap scene, ayrtn’s latest self-produced single, “Caution”, is a reminder of his capabilities on the mic and behind it. The rising talent, who cites everyone […]
Immersive and intricate in his artistry, North-West Londoner Knucks has been traversing the realms of hip-hop for over a decade now, aptly rendering himself as one of the most consistent new-age lyricists in the British rap canon. Since his 2014-released debut mixtape, Killmatic—his well-done hat-tip to Nas’ epic Illmatic—Knucks has infused his rap sensibilities with the sounds of jazz and […]
Birmingham rapper Stardom is back with his new mixtape, Street Profit. Anticipation for this one has been building for some time now. We got the first taste of the project way back in January last year when he released “Blew” with Rimzee, putting the whole scene on notice, before he ultimately confirmed the tape’s impending arrival some […]

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 […]
With festival season fast approaching, if they’re smart, your favourite artists will be looking into their repertoires and making sure they’ve got some surefire slammers ready to tear the moshpits up. Although relatively new to the game, it looks like UK rap’s bright new star, ShaSimone, knows exactly what’s expected of her this summer because her new […]
Following the well-received release of their debut project, Summer We Never Had, in 2020, rising South London duo AE are back with a new single, “Mistaken”, complete with ‘90s-inspired visuals directed by FEYLDN. Positioned against a backdrop of graffiti-marked walls and dreamy blue skies, Ads and Els go back-to-back on PB & Q’s breezy, soul-laced production, rapping assertively […]
The idea of a joint mixtape is one that often exists in the realm of possibility but rarely in reality. If two artists make a successful song together, fans instantly start calling for a fuller body of work. On some occasions, one track is all we need. In other instances, a project makes complete sense. […]
It’s always a good day when something new from Knucks arrives. The North London rapper ‘with swag in his bones’ has been shaking the underground with his grime-licked flows, laid-back demeanour and jazz-tinged beats for a number of years now, and he hasn’t had a missed a beat yet. He was inspired by some of the […]
