Song of the Day: Outside -IZ

Rapper IZ comes through onto today’s top spot with a monumental, catchy, party single for the Summer ‘Outside’ released on RCA Records.

Following on from single ‘Big Dreams’ at the top of the year which is sitting on over a huge 2 ½ million streams on Spotify alone, IZ has set the pace for his future music.

A party rap track set to hit the clubs and festivals for the Summer, IZ brings the heat with his new scorching sizzler of a track. With a banger of a hook, IZ proves with ‘Outside’ he can bring the more light-hearted tracks whilst keeping his hard bars flowing.

“Outside is about enjoying yourself and in indulging in all the fun and crazy activities that make up a summer holiday. The track is based around the fact that a single lady will have more fun in summer and can do whatever makes her happy and think about herself and herself alone.” – IZ

Produced by Cassell Beats & K Beats, ‘Outside’ is taken from his outstanding debut mixtape, which will include 10 tracks showcasing IZ’s signature style and flow coupled with old skool hip hop beats.

OUT TODAY: Benny Bizzie delivers emotionally charged single ‘Dejavu’

‘Dejavu’ is the first 2024 release from British singer, rapper, and producer BENNY BIZZIE, expressing frustrations over the terror in Gaza over a Trap-inspired, dramatic, and dark production.

Bizzie calls on his younger self, as a rap/grime artist, to deliver gritty rap lyrics packed with emotion whilst keeping it warm with soulful R&B melodies.

‘Dejavu’ follows Benny Bizzie’s recent Chrysalis EP which gained over one million views on TikTok with UGC and support from Notion and Ear Milk editorials. His E-Motion EP has gained over 600k views on YouTube and over 200k streams on Spotify with support from Link up TV and Sentric Music and regional radio.

He has released 10 EPs to date which earned him 2 nominations at the Urban Music Awards for Best Male and Best R&B, Radio support by Charlie Sloth (BBC 1xtra), DJ Ace, Lionheart BBC Radio London, and collaborations with A-List artists including Ghetts.

He recently made appearance in a recent Remington/Man united global campaign , Golden Terra Oil and National Lotto commercials and landed 2 sync placements on The Bachelors and Home and Away.

‘Dejavu’ was released today (6th June) across various music platforms. Why not check it out below…

Bliss Williams goes down memory lane with new EP, ‘Gramercy’.

London-based BLISS WILLIAMS’ first memories of music are the tapes of 60s pop and soul his parents kept in the car when he was little. This early introduction to timeless songwriting from the likes of The Beach Boys, not to mention all those Motown classics, left an indelible mark.

Fast-forward to 2024 and Williams’ tunes have been championed by John Kennedy on Radio X and Gary Crowley on the BBC, while recent single ‘A Thousand Times Before’ (featuring Paul Weller drummer Ben Gordelier) was playlisted by Spotify.

Sharing his childhood memories of music, Bliss Williams shares his new acoustic EP ‘Gramercy’, which is out now across various music platforms. Recorded live in just a handful of takes, ‘Gramercy’ sees Williams momentarily depart from his usual brand of electric soul to showcase his songwriting in its rawest form – stripped-back, sensitive and no less soulful.
