It wasn’t that long ago since KING DICE O was featured here with Pain of Fortune(recently named Song of the Week by NEW LEASE MUSIC).
The New York emcee has no time to kick back and relax and instead join forces with fellow emcees DICE CANNON and JUICE CANNON (who also provided the beats to the track) for the making of the music video to laid back golden hip-hop effort, Lounge Music. So go ahead, watch the video, sit back and just lounge to it!
Lounge Music is taken from KING DICE O‘s forthcoming album, The Life Vol. 2 (The Quiet Storm), set for release 24th January.
The latter part of 2015 has been kind to brothers Shack and Ace Boogie and long-term friend Dirty Dre – aka – THE BAKERY BOYS. The previous single Get Away, was named 1Xtra’s Track of the Week. Not becoming too complacent of their recent triumph, the boys dropped another track, Until The Day.
Their latest effort offers words of inspiration, urging youngsters to reach their goals. The four-minute slick banger features indie band The Thirst’s Mensa Hart and Lock Laser who is the brother Shack and Ace. It comes to no surprise that the brothers formed a strong bond for music as their father was in the 90s cult group, Soul II Soul.
Apart from making waves on the music scene, supporting the likes of Big Sean and Labrinth and performing twice at the Wireless Festival, these guys have their fingers in more than one business pie. Their fashion label, Justin Hustlin, was the fast selling streetwear on ASOS and their social organisation Justinspire, sees them mentoring and volunteering in their local community – breaking down misconceptions that rappers are all about the money and honies!
Until The Day will be released from tomorrow…but for now, watch the video and soap up some words of wisdom.
Following the hard lick of track, We Run This, Sheffield hip-hop upriser J.KAS comes back twice as bold, determined to get his flawless flow heard through this latest effort, Rich & Famous, the first release from his EP The Honetown, out 3rd February – look out for it.
For now, take time out for this talented hustler and listen to Rich & Famous.
NEW LEASE MUSIC regulars PALEFACE JUNKIES and LIQUOR STORE BANDITS were previously featured with the original version of Heated Up! (check it out here.) Now the duo teamed up London-based Mediatrix Music for a smooth treatment of the radical banger, available now as a free download via SoundCloud.

Adam Hachey, otherwise known as TUNNEL TRAFFIC, released his latest album, Absolute Dreams which heavily experiments with folk, pop and electronic music.
The ukulele steals the show in the 11-track production, creating breathtakingly magical moments in stripped back performances as well as boldly taking on the intense atmospheric drive, with the result being standout synthpop/new wave-inspired compositions.
