When your track gets a reload from Mistajam live on radio, you know you’re doing something right. The Radio 1 DJ premiered ‘Banger After Banger’, the new track from Grime producer Rude Kid and his long-time collaborator Ghetts, earlier this week. The track’s unruly beat is peppered with references; from Dizzee’s ‘I Luv U’ to The…
After dropping ‘Grief’ last week, Earl Sweatshirt releases his follow-up to 2013’s ‘Doris‘, ‘I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside: An Album By Earl Sweatshirt’.

On this, his 20th birthday, Joey Bada$$ releases his debut LP ‘B4.DA.$$’ [pronounced ‘Before Da Money’]. We’ve already heard plenty of singles from the album [the likes of ‘Big Dusty‘, ”Christ Conscious‘, ‘No. 99‘, ‘Curry Chicken‘, ‘Teach Me‘ ‘Run Up On Ya‘ have been released steadily since last Summer], but at nineteen tracks long there’s…
With just days to go until the release of ‘B4.DA.$$’ [January 20], Joey Bada$$ premieres a new track from the album on Shade 45 with DJ Statik Selektah. The track is a fairly laid back affair; a lazy bassline over some illMatic-sounding boom bap percussion. Vocals on the hook come from LA vocalist Elle Varner while Mr…
