New Track: I Spy – OSO Wavey Jay & Arz

One of London’s most hyped up newcomers OSO WAVEY JAY links up with ARZ and fourteen year old producer, YK The Plug, to fly the flag for the new generation.

After dropping the huge ‘Soulja’ earlier this year, which quickly amassed over a hundred thousand views in a matter of weeks, as well as ‘Get By’ featuring UKNWN which quickly topped that and continued the hype around Jay’s name, OSO WAVEY JAY enlists fellow fifteen year old MC, ARZ to prove to the world that the youngsters aren’t to be slept on. ‘I Spy’ shows the two effortlessly spitting over a unique and laid back trap instrumental, continuously challenging each other to step up their flows to insane levels as the song continues.

With his upcoming EP ‘Schoolboy Jay’ coming out in the next couple of months, featuring ‘I Spy’ as well as the massive singles ‘Soulja’ and ‘Get By’, there’s no question that OSO WAVEY JAY is one of the most exciting artists coming out of London at the moment.

Album Review: Cabernet Sauvignon – Samurai Champs

When I hit the play button on SAMURAI CHAMPS‘ latest album, ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ I was expecting a trail of some trip-hop beats accompanied by a menacing b-line, a tone set by the introductory track, ‘Let Me Be Sad’.

But I stand corrected and I was pleasantly taken back as down-tempo vibe was then intertwined with different variations of chilled-out soul and R&B, topped off by a spine-tinging duet of alluring vocals and a relax flow that sometimes flares up with excitement. ‘Poseidon’ possess a vintage haziness of soul/R&B, that’s can be reminiscent of Tom Misch or perphas, Marc Ayres.

Tracks ‘Bae’ and ‘Still Mine’ contributes a lick of modern afterhours R&B which intensify the spine tingling sensation of the set. After a short run of the downtempo trip-hop pieces, the album concludes with title track, ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, another heart melting trip-hop/afterhours number which best shows the vocal/rap duet.

With great balance between the bold and the delicate SAMURAI CHAMPS have made a massive splash with their debut collection; their efforts definitely won’t be drowned out from the rap game.

New Track: Broken Heart – Billions

BILLIONS comes with a Broken Heart through his fourth single off his critically acclaimed debut mixtape ‘Thirteen13’ which  reached #1 in the UK Rap charts.

‘Broken Heart’ is a smooth, saxophone-heavy banger, something very different to his previous singles on the tape, including the club track ‘Motive’ and the street classics ‘Make It Home’ and ’10 Toes’ – proving BILLIONS is one of the most versatile artists in the game right now.

The video, shot by London videography giant Suave, continues the Hackney spitter’s luxury rap narrative, with him dressed in the finest Gucci drip, rolling in a Range with a Rollie on his wrist; while candidly talking us through his struggles with heartbreak.

So help him mend his Broken Heart by checking out the video for the single below…

New Track: 2 Myself – Ludic

While their hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia may be known for moody indie-rock, LUDIC exude a delightfully bright and unique brand of groovy tunes. Their new single, ‘2 Myself’ features a playful rhythm reminiscent of 70’s funk with upbeat soul and jazz-driven bass lines.
