Che Lingo premiered new track ‘Circles’ and its accompanying visual at an intimate listening party on North London. It’s a song written after the realisation that, when it comes to matters of the heart, social media can be more of a hindrance than a help. “People always go to social media to try and work out…
Anderson. Paak’s new album ‘Oxnard’ was mixed and produced by Dr. Dre. As such, it positively oozes West Coast. It’s Los Angeles in the late afternoon heat, it’s palm trees on the eponymous Oxnard Beach, and its sound is every bit as in and of the area as any work of Snoop Dogg or N.W.A. …
FM! is Vince Staples’ third studio album, following 2015’s ‘Summertime ’06‘ and 2017’s ‘Big Fish Theory‘.

It’s been over three years since ‘I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside‘, but Earl Sweatshirt is back with a new track entitled ‘Nowhere2go’. Excitement [well, ours at least!] reached fever pitch when mysterious teaser videos began to surface on Instagram. Speculation was rife that an album was sure to follow, but for now…
Harlem born MC A$AP Rocky drops the video for ‘Fukk Sleep’ featuring FKA Twigs, a track taken from his latest album, ‘TESTING‘. The futuristic video sees A$AP Rocky and FKA twigs smashing windows, stealing cars, dancing on the counters in a jewellery shop, and visiting strip clubs in New York City. Produced by Object Animal…
Swizz Beatz’s highly anticipated album ‘Poison’ dropped last week. Executively produced by the Hip Hop stalwart, the album’s list of features reads like a roll call for the genre’s hottest, with J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Giggs, Nas, Pusha T all delivering verses. Singles ‘Pistol On My Side’ and ‘Come Again’ are the obvious…
‘White Bronco’ is Action Bronson’s fourth studio album, and the first he’s released independently since 2011’s ‘Well Done’. It’s 11 brand new tracks from Bronsolino, including A$AP Rocky collab ‘Swerve On Em’ and the album’s title track and lead single ‘White Bronco‘.

London-based producer Haich releases a new video for recent single ‘Conversations‘. It’s his first self-directed video; “a hypnotic re-imagining of two characters experiencing constant interaction (both digitally and physically) throughout their day whilst longing for the comfort of being alone.” It’s beautifully done, an impressive directorial debut from Haich that matches the track’s experimental sound perfectly. Stream…
Last Halloween Skepta gifted us the ‘Vicious‘ EP. This year he’s dropped off a new video for May’s standalone single ‘Pure Water‘. It’s a mostly black-and-white [and occasionally red] clip that sees Skepta, well, cleaning his teeth and taking a bath – but probably not in the same settings you and I might. Stream below via…
Emerging from the underground Hip Hop scene in Germany, Serious Klein releases his debut album ‘You Should’ve Known’.

At sixteen tracks long, this is a real statement from Klein,…

Stream below via SoundCloud.
“’Be There / Higher’ is a double A-side single I conceptualised earlier this year,” says Denzel Himself. “I wanted to create and pair two songs that sounded like motorsports and anarchy. For the artwork, though, I wanted to purposefully undersell the ruckus that the music encompasses, as to have a subversive affect. I wanted each…
