Jordan sefton

JORDAN SEFTON resurfaced just in time for Valentine’s Day with latest single Love Me, the first release from his upcoming album, Animal’s Kingdom.

Featuring a wavey beat coupled with a rich old school vibe that reverberates throughout the three-and-a-half minute record, the Londoner topped it off by delivering infectious, ear cracking bars. His best work to date has all the right ingredients of receiving heavy airplay on urban radio stations, further cementing his place in the London’s underground hip-hop scene.

Pre-order Animal’s Kingdom from 12th February on iTunes. In the meantime, check out the seriously loved-up single.

New Track! Street Poet – King Dice O

King dice o street Poet

New Track! Trickle Trickle – Kill J

Trickle Trickle Kill J

Following the overwhelming success of  You’re Good But I’m Better, which topped the Hype Machine chart at no.1, Danish experimental alt-pop sensation KIll J hopes to bring the same success with her new single, Trickle Trickle.

Drawing on the soundscapes of previous efforts, Propaganda and You’re Good But I’m Better, the three-and-a-half minute production takes on a more fragile and vulnerable feel. Though a more emotionally expressive piece that sees KILL J reveal a tender side to her distinctive charisma, the track’s punchy bass and expertly layered echoing vocals are still unmistakable.

Named ‘Band of the Week’ by The Guardian newspaper, KIll J has already gained a legion of fans, whilst receiving airplay from the likes of Huw Stephens and Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, Mamiko Motto on NTS Radio and even a spin on Beats1. Armed with her latest release, she only looks set to further her position as one of Denmark’s most exciting exports: a reputation that will be cemented when she plays SXSW this year.

Trickle Trickle will form part of her debut EP, Quasi, set for release in March 2015.

New Track! Colored Shadez – Black The ILLA

The illa

The chances are you may not heard of  BLACK THE ILLA – well let me tell you, he doesn’t hold back especially in his latest track, Colored Shadez.

With clever samples of Betty White’s 80s single Keep Love New, the Alabama-based emcee addresses the systematic racism that plagues the US today. As a voice in the South, ILLA collects his thoughts giving a thoughtful analysis on the issue of race.

Colored Shadez is available as a free download via SoundCloud.
