Not slowing down anytime soon, Manchester’s rapper MR. JONES arrives with his latest offering, ‘Laid Back’, another smooth joint, perfect for any summer playlist.
This time he taps 4Zero – a producer/engineer from his label, Manchester Music Group – to provide instantly infectiously chilled beat, which somehow carries that old-school boom bap vibe.
‘Laid-Back’ quickly follows Mr. Jones’ melodic number, ‘Brand New’, which documents the rapper seizing every opportunity. Check out ‘Laid Back’ below…
Recently signed to Manchester Music Group label, owned by Mr. Jones who was previously featured with tracks, ‘You’ and ‘Brand New’, HARRY HENCH shows the world what he’s made of with debut song ‘Ooh La La’, out now for your pleasure.
With a uplifting and flirtatious Latin-esque vibe, which is very fitting in becoming a summer anthem, the single shows Harry’s appreciation for his love interest, making him go simply, ooh la la!
Hailing from a small town in northwest England, Harry started his journey many years ago as answer to relieve the pressure of everyday life. Despite others trying to discourage him from his path, Harry casted any negativity aside and continued to hone his craft.
Harry’s journey is more than chasing frame; it’s more of a journey of self-discovery and self-love, reminding himself that – in the words of Muhammad Ali- ‘Impossible is Nothing’. Through his journey, Harry aims to inspire shy, troubled and vulnerable kids, that no one thinks of, to never give up on their dreams – no matter how great it is.

On Valentine’s Day, Manchester’s rapper, songwriter and record label owner of Manchester Music Group, MR. JONES has dedicated his new single, ‘You’ to his significant other over a bed of heavenly tones that’s reminiscent of the golden hip-hop era of the late eighties/early nineties. The track features his label mate, Soul 31, who graces the chorus with his velvety smooth vocal performance.
Mr Jones hit the ground running with his debut album, ‘Long Running’ and follow-up project, ‘No Time To Waste’, which collectively received way over a million streams. Quickly becoming known for his witty bars and clever rhymes, this smooth wordsmith is currently working on his third album, coming out later this later.
Coming quickly off the back of their previous single ‘Bleak Moors’, Manchester punks TOKEO continue to explore the stark realities of life amongst Manchester’s forgotten mill towns on their single, ‘King of the Town’, the final track taken from their forthcoming debut album, ‘Class Traitor.’
A cathartic triumvirate of punk, rock and rap, the quintet have distanced themselves from much of their Manchester contemporaries through their angst-fuelled take on northern post-punk, preferring instead to shed light on the discrepancies faced by those growing up in areas ignored by wider government.
Indeed, these politics, and this anger are what allow TOKEO to stand apart from a local scene too often concerned with vintage leather jackets and virtue signalling to really care about the wider local area. And on ‘King of the Town’, this vitriol really boils over. A dystopic and tongue in cheek take on misplaced admiration, it’s a blisteringly scathing attack on small-town syndrome.
With each release harbouring more piss and vinegar than the last, it’s obvious that TOKEO are a band unimpressed with the current way the UK is heading, and we shouldn’t be too. At a time when the costs of living are soaring, and the UK government is nothing more than a self-spiralling shit show, the outlook is bleak, and while the band might not offer any respite from that, they certainly provide some much needed catharsis. Have a listen to ‘King of the Town’ below…
