22-year-old London-born MELLE BROWN is set to release her debut ‘Intersection’ EP, this Friday (26th April) via Jamz Supernova’s label Future Bounce. The upcoming collection features the likes of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Hot For 2019 artist Tiana Major9, up and coming Manchester rapper Lay Full Stop and producer Interlekt (who’s worked with the likes of Jay Prince.)
The first instalment from the EP comes in the form of soulful house offering ‘Background Noise’ featuring the talented new vocalist Oli Hannaford. The record has already had early support in the form of a premiere from BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra’s Toddla T.
Already picking up amazing support from the likes of Tom Robinson at BBC 6 Music, Kan D Man and Limelight at BBC Asian Network, Foundation FM, Reprezent Radio, UK Undiscovered, Premier Gospel (London), Amazing Radio, The Beat London 103.6 FM, BBC 1Xtra, Insanity Radio, NE1fm, Pulse88, Reprezent, Earmilk and Spotify making him the cover of their ‘Blessings’ playlist, MARC JONES dropped latest single ‘No Stress’.
The Croydon native has released four singles to date, racking up over 300k streams without any major push and is set to release his debut EP this Spring, entitled ‘Progress’. The six track project will feature varying moods and topics – sharing a plethora of his own truths and experiences. All the records allude to a disinterest with life’s peripheral perks, and instead focus on uplifting urban culture through music.
Hailing from a part of the world that’s synonymous with gangs and violence, Marc’s aim is to expose people to something different through his music, that others might find inspiration in his lyrics and his authentic story of normality – yet stability. There’s no rags to riches story here which makes the artistry even more impressive. If we’re honest, our sole wish is to be content with our lives and live comfortably – making Marc’s ability to make everyday topics relatable, resonate all the more.
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’.
The SynX-produced track, displays infectiously soothing Afrobeats, with hazy influences of Dancehall and R&B.
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.
