London hip-hop collective RAYLO are getting geared up to release not one but TWO epic music videos. Until then, the guys have dropped a brand new single entitled ‘Eggshells’, which displays their signature combo of mysteriously idyllic overtones and that boastful b-line.
It’s definitely worth checking out…and if you’re feeling this track, I have some great news – you can download it for FREE right here.
After spending almost a year in the US, working with Baltimore producer beatsbysteev, singer/songwriter BEN BROWN has slammed down a one hell of melodic hip-hop/R&B joint entitled ‘Hideaway. Featuring the smooth flow of rapper Ehmji, ‘Hideaway’ is taken from his latest EP, ‘410 Interlude.’
Compared to the likes of James Vickery, Tom Misch, and Zak Abel, the North Londoner gained traction in the UK scene last year, playing at Sundown Festival and opening the main stage at Mutiny Festival, following his ‘No Words’ tour which saw the artist deliver his energetic performance style at headline shows throughout the UK in support of his new single – his third consecutive one to reach the top 15 in the iTunes singer-songwriter charts.
This one’s too good to miss….check out the fire production below:
Serving as the lead single for his forthcoming sophomore EP, which is due for release this summer, ‘Properly’ comes off the back of NIZZY’s last single ‘Rice & Peas’ and his critically acclaimed debut EP ‘Dreamin’ In Colour’.

NIZZY‘s smooth naija-fused sound has already caught the attention from the likes of BBC 1Xtra, Red Bull Music, Capital Xtra, MTV Base, GRM Daily, Link Up TV, The Beat London, GRM Daily, Link Up TV and Earmilk, among others.

Following his debut release ‘Atmosphere’, championed by Radio 1’s Phil Taggart and 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne & Tom Ravenscroft, South-London producer/musician JOE TURNER releases his brand-new double A-side via Jamz Supernova’s record label Future Bounce.
Leading the double A-side is ‘Retina’, a reflective, downtempo electronic track riding on an arresting undercurrent, densely layered with emotive instrumentation and introspective production.
Its counterpart ‘Stay’ is a bouncier, blissed-out track that radiates an emphatic energy through its warm melodies and lush intricate production.
Born and raised in Croydon, Turner grew up in a house filled with Soul music and a smidgen of nineties electronica providing the youthful musician with a varied musical palette. His grandfather, a jazz pianist, was a major influence, from whom he’s undoubtedly inherited the musical talent that saw him writing his first song at just eleven years old.
Following his teenage years playing in various bands, it has only been in the past twelve months that Turner turned his attention to writing once again. Concentrating on his own material whilst similarly experimenting in production, collaborations ensued with South-London based artists such as Stella Talpo and SIAMAKI before he took the plunge and released his own compositions.
In February 2019, Turner self-released his first single ‘Atmosphere’ which gained the support of BBC Radio 1’s Phil Taggart, BBC 6 Music’s Tom Ravenscroft and BBC 1Xtra’s Jamz Supernova, amongst many other radio stations & DJs. Also a hit on streaming services it was widely supported on editorial playlists.
With news of further recordings – a debut EP is imminent – and live dates in the pipeline, 2019 is looking to be a big year for the remarkable South-Londoner.
Check out ‘Retina/Stay’ below:
