Mike Body drops his first release of 2025, ‘It Is Finished’ (album)

MIKE BODY has always been that rapper who utilises the hip-hop platform for what it’s intended for – to tackle societal and personal issues, in order to move forward to brighter future.

His latest album ‘It Is Finished’, sees the rapper continues to use the platform to air some of his concerns in America today, particularly in the black community, covered in ‘Land of the Lost’, which echos the alarming kidnapping cases of women and children over the recent years. Second offering, ‘Prices on my Head’ mirrors the current cost of living crisis and the effects it has on working families.

‘It Is Finished’ may cover a breadth of his concerns but Mike Body, a devout christian, has always offered light at the end of the tunnel, through his faith in the Lord. He gives thanks and celebrates life in fifth offering, ‘We’re The Last Ones’, whilst paying homage to close ones that have passed on.

The conscious project concludes with ‘Saved by the Lord’, where Mike Body shows his utmost appreciation for the person who sacrifice his life for our sins – without having such faith, life could have been very different for the rapper…

OUT TODAY: British R&B artist Ricardo Williams returns with his latest project, ‘4×7 (Four by Seven)’.

RICARDO WILLIAMS‘ new project, ‘4×7 (Four by Seven)’, was created in a remarkable 7-day challenge. Featuring a unique mix of Christmas and R&B sounds, the EP includes two soulful R&B tracks alongside two festive songs, each offering a fresh twist on Christmas music. Known for embracing challenges, Ricardo has previously pushed the boundaries by writing, recording, and releasing a single within 24 hours. However, ‘4×7 marks his boldest venture yet: completing an entire EP in just seven days.

The EP’s focus track, ‘Till The Day We Die’, showcases Ricardo’s rich R&B sound and storytelling style that fans have come to love. With 4×7, Ricardo set out to source the instrumentals, write the lyrics, record vocals, and publish a full EP in a single week.

He describes the experience as both exciting and freeing. “I just really wanted to jump back into the swing of things, and how better to set myself a challenge to create a body of work or EP in a short amount of time,” Ricardo shares. “Letting go of perfection and just giving the audience exactly what they want is good R&B music.”

With a distinct take on Christmas, 4×7 blends the festive warmth of the season with Ricardo’s signature R&B soul, creating a genre-blending experience that is both celebratory and introspective. The EP reflects Ricardo’s artistic growth, exploring the contrasts between festive cheer and deep R&B grooves.

‘4×7 (Four by Seven)’ was released today (26th November) on all major streaming platforms…why not check it out below…
