It’s finally here. Blade Brown and K-Trap’s Joints mixtape—one of this year’s most eagerly awaited UK rap projects—has officially landed. Ever since the tape was confirmed to be happening in July last year, we’ve all been on tenterhooks. After putting us out of our misery with “6 Figures” earlier this month, they dropped off visuals for “Joints 2” last night […]
It’s the eve of Youngs Teflon’s launch party for All Eyes On Me Against The World, and Storm Eunice is raging outside the Just Hype store on London’s Carnaby Street, where it is being held. Luckily for Youngs, Eunice’s tantrum didn’t stop it from being a successful night—one filled with good vibes and even greater music—and the room got to properly […]
Last night, Digga D took to Twitter and Instagram to announce that barely a year on from Made In The Pyrex, he was already geared up to drop a new project, Noughty By Nature, which he’s slated for an April 15 release. Not only that, but he also dropped off its first single, “G Lock”, featuring Memphis […]
All the way back in July last year, South London rap giant Blade Brown confirmed in an interview that a joint mixtape with K-Trap was headed our way. It’s something fans have been crying out for after the pair swapped features on Bags & Boxes 4 and Street Side Effects, and the tape’s rollout has now officially begun with the […]
After kicking off the year with a historic performance at this year’s BRIT Awards—which included a literally incendiary turn on a guitar he picked up for the first time just four months prior—Dave is back to keep things rolling at full speed with new single “Starlight”. A self-produced number, “Starlight” is a relatively subtle one, […]
The sad and untimely passing of young music OG, entrepreneur and philanthropist Jamal Edwards on Sunday has rocked me, to say the least. My week—so far—has been a complete right-off, as if it were a family member that had gone on to be with the Lord. It’s 8pm on Sunday evening, and I had just woken up […]
COMPLEX: Your song “Santa Monica Blvd” is featured on the NBA 2K22 soundtrack, which is a really great look. How did the connection come about? IDK: I remember: it was, like, 2019, and I made it a goal of mine to be in NBA 2K for the first time, and I got cool with Mike—I forgot […]
With their own solo adventures taking them all around the world, it’s an increasingly rare sight to see Giggs and Tiny Boost back on a track together—but it’s always a welcome one. Taking the time to get back to what counts, the Peckham duo recently got together in the studio for new joint “The Family” […]
2021 was the year when some of UK rap’s most accomplished heroes put out the greatest albums of their already impressive careers. Dave, Ghetts and Little Simz all gave us literally world-beating albums, and it’s worth adding that the new gen hardly lacked either—Central Cee, M1llionz, V9 and Digga D also shone. But, already, it’s […]
After a relatively quiet 2021, DigDat—one of UK drill’s leading lights—is back with a follow-up to his 2020 project, Ei8ht Mile. The new mixtape, Pain Built, bucks the trend of lengthy, sprawling projects by keeping the tracklist to a streamlined 10. It’s a strictly solo affair so there are no features on this one, but he’s called […]
