Rejjie snow releases an alternative Summer anthem in ‘Virgo,’ the video for which sees him return to his native Dublin. “I like playing on the streets in the summer because I have all my friends, and I play with my friends and sometimes I go to the park and it’s really sunny out, sometimes.” The…
It’s been almost two years since Iglooghost announced his signing to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder imprint with the ‘Chinese Nü Yr‘ EP. Since then, he’s been busy working on new material, the first taste of which comes in the form of ‘Bug Thief’, the first track from his upcoming debut album ‘Neō Wax Bloom’ [September 29].…
After the consistently brilliant visuals from last album ‘Konnichiwa’, you’d have been forgiven for thinking that the artwork for new single ‘Hypocrisy’ was a joke. Having no shared the decidedly kitsch video, it now starts to make sense. Directed by himself amd BBBK collaborator Matt Walker, the video features Skepta alongside some retro karaoke-singing dancers…
Reclusive rapper/producer/super-villain MF DOOM has always been an enigma, but it’s been even longer than usual since we’ve heard from him, not since 2009’s ‘Born Like This’ in fact. This week though, Adult Swim have revealed that we’ll be getting a new DOOM track every week for the next fifteen, starting with Sean Price collab ‘Negus’. The…
Following collaborations with just about everyone [Slick Don, Trim, Rawkid, Winter Rose, Gavlyn, Blimes Brixton], producer Walter Ego returns with a solo offering in the form of ‘Seven Star Ball’. The three track EP begins with ‘Raw’, a murky, bass-heavy banger with the kind of super-villain string sample you’d find on a DOOM track. Stream…
British producer Haich has been far too quiet of late. Thankfully, he’s breaking the silence with a new track entitled ‘Pariah’. Released via RAGS, the track borrows from Garage as much from it does the post-Dubstep of Mount Kimbie & co, with delicate vocals setting the whole thing off. Stream below via SoundCloud.
South East London duo BLESSED release ‘My Yute’, an infectious, R&B-inflected mash-up of Dancehall & Bassline with a Victor Kovachev-directed debut visual. “‘My Yute’ is all about the hype you have when having your friend’s back.

Swerving Lil Yachty’s main stage performance at this year’s Wireless Festival in favour of British MC Cadet, I arrived at the Pepsi stage to find only his crew present. Upon further investigation, I found that to my surprise Cadet had vaulted into the middle of the crammed, sweaty crowd, where he was singing at the…
Kendrick Lamar’s ‘DAMN.‘ has already given us some of the most incredible visuals. First came the ‘HUMBLE‘, packed with religious iconography and striking vignettes, followed by the Don Cheadle-starring ‘DNA‘ and the gory ‘ELEMENT‘. This time it’s the Rihanna-featuring ‘LOYALTY’ which gets the video treatment, and it looks like TDE have spared no expense in…
Having already released ‘Let Me Breathe‘, Action Bronson drops another track from ‘Blue Chips 7000’ [August 25]. ‘The Chairman’s Intent’ comes with an insane Rik Cordero-directed video which borrows heavily from 1970s Kung Fu & Blaxploitation films, as Bronson takes on a variety of foes. Stream below via YouTube.
Falside releases ‘ Painfully Thick’, the first track to come from upcoming EP ‘Leather World’. The New York producer takes a mellower approach than we’re used to from him, as washed-out synths accompany a looped vocal from Travi$ Scott’s infamous ‘Goosebumps’. Stream below via SoundCloud.
Rude Kid’s new instrumental EP ‘Monsters’ is a sonic testament of why he holds a key position at the heart of the UK Grime scene. We sat down at Relentless Records on a rainy afternoon in mid-July to chat about past, present and what the future holds in the cards for the British producer. It’s…
