Che Lingo looks overseas to Chicago MC Mick Jenkins for collaboration on new track ‘No Sidekicks’. It’s a track “about admitting that as men we aren’t always the heroes and women are not accessories. They don’t always need saving and them wanting to be with us is a choice to be respected as a collaboration…
Ragz Originale follows up recent Oscar Worldpeace collab ‘Send‘ with new track ‘Disaronno Straight’, an altogether more sombre cut from his forthcoming album ‘Nature’ [October 12]. The track comes with an epic new visual, about which Ragz told The Fader: “I’m quite lucky because ‘Disaronno Straight’ was one of the last songs I made before handing…
Following the release of Skepta-assisted singe ‘Money Right‘, Dizzee Rascal releases new EP ‘Don’t Gas Me’. His first release since sixth studio album ‘RASKIT’ is a switch in style, with Dizzee switching to upbeat Garage beats in the main. Speaking to Julie Adenuga on Beats 1, Dizzee said “you’re just getting the whole me… it’s…
Dizzee Rascal reveals details of a new EP entitled ‘Don’t Gas Me’ [September 14] with a new track ‘Money Right’, which sees him collaborate with fellow Grime kingpin Skepta for the very first time. The first new drop from Dizzee since his sixth studio album and return to form ‘Raskit‘ is based on David Sylvian’s piano…
Slowthai hasn’t dropped anything longer than the singles he’s been drip-feeding us singles since last year’s ‘I Wish I Knew’, until now. Only one of the seven individually-released tracks [‘Drug Dealer‘] makes it on to ‘RUNT’, a new five track EP that comes courtesy of Method Records. It’s every bit as abbrasive as you’d hope; with…
Kanye West dropped a brand new track on Friday, and as usual there’s a whole lot to unpack. Before we get to the track itself, let’s give it some context. ‘I Love It’ made it’s debut at the first annual [and seemingly disastrous] Pornhub Awards, at which West was co-Creative Director. The new job, we…
Eminem surprised us all this week with the unexpected release of his tenth studio album ‘Kamikaze’, a follow-up to December 2017’s ‘Revival’. Executive-produced by Dr. Dre & Em himself, Slim takes aim at ‘Revival’s critics as well as a multitude of current rappers including Drake, Lil Xan, Tyler The Creator, Migos and Lil Pump. With…
Mick Jenkins follows up recent track ‘Bruce Banner‘ with a new drop in the form of ‘What Am I To Do’. Over a silky smooth beat from Kaytranada, Mick continues to astound with a real onslaught; only a very short hook punctuating his unrelentingly brilliant bars. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again;…
We’re used to fairly deep bars from Oscar #Worldpeace of late, his last EP ‘IC3‘ being a fairly searing political indictment. New track ‘Send’ though, is far more light-hearted. Teaming up with frequent collaborator an Minikingz cohort Ragz Originale, the North Londoner recounts time spent chasing women via the DMs over a hazy beat from…
Self-professed ‘big lyricist’/’antagonist’ Mez drops new single ‘One Flow’, his first since February’s ‘TYRONE EP‘. The General Courts-produced cut also gets a visual filmed by Bipolar Spider in the legendary basement at Jammer’s family home for its official video, the historical epicentre of the Grime scene. Stream below via YouTube.
Piece by piece, Slowthai’s discography is getting pretty exciting. New track ‘Drug Dealer’ latest sees him tell his characteristic tales of a broken Britain over a dark, horror flick string arrangement. In our opinion, the frequent comparison of the Northampton MC to Dizzee Rascal are unwarranted. Although in a league entirely of his own, there…
Tyler, The Creator joins the Navy in the latest visual to come from last year’s ‘FLOWER BOY‘. The nautical video features cameos from Kali Uchis and A$AP Rocky, as well as an unexpectedly creepy ending. Stream below via YouTube.
