Song of the Day: Apple – Kane & Marcus Beats

Kane and Marcus Beats video

Apple, is a collaboration between two UK’s promising acts, introducing a seamless musical mix of R&B with the influential ‘skippy’ high hats of London’s old ‘skool’ Garage scene, formidably complimented with a grime sound that just makes sense.

So expect to tease your ears with the summery tones of the West Coast, intrinsically complemented by the texturing voices of KANE, who perfectly executes a ‘rap singing’ ‘skippy’ vocal, while MARCUS BEATZ spits the UK Grime sound with tangible flow.

This track, which has been inspired by the Adam & Eve story of ‘forbidden fruit’ depicts how a woman can control a man’s mind, and has been cleverly transformed into contemporary times, accompanied with a London shot video by Nathaniel Media.

The track itself was written by the pair and as this is just one of the many creative talents up their sleeve. It’s very safe to say that this special duo are truly set to showcase what UK talent have to offer.

New Track: Expensive (from The Intent Soundtrack) – Big Tobz

big Tobz expensive
The Intent – A gritty thriller, packed with an incredible cast of UK actors and music artists made its debut in selected UK cinemas last Wednesday. BIG TOBZ has just dropped Expensive, taken from the incredible soundtrack that is loaded with exclusive records written specifically for the film, Ghetts, Scorcher, Stormzy, Fekky and Ms Banks all feature on the 18-track album that will be released to accompany the film.

The Big Tobz track and video give an insight to the world that is uncovered and the bold and eerie tale that is about to unfold in The Intent.

In a groundbreaking move that merges the world of UK film and music, co-directors Nicky Slimting Walker and Femi Oyeniran present an equally thrilling soundtrack that sets the tone and propels the audience throughout.

Set in the heart of London, the chilling tale of gang warfare, greed and drugs unfolds. Newfound infamy for the TIC crew affords the gang members the fast life, which catches the attention of all the wrong people and trust starts to become an issue, ultimately leading to their downfall. Infiltration, dishonour and ego are key to the plot but the key question is, what is “The Intent” of each player.

Featuring a cast of celebrated acting talent, The Intent also debuts a stellar line up of musicians in their first on-screen roles. MOBO nominated and former Topboy actor/musician Scorcher takes the lead as ‘Gunz’ and stars alongside Ashley Chin (Starred Up, Plastic), award-winning Hip Hop Duo Krept & Konan, Femi Oyeniran (Kidulthood), Jade Asha (As Bad as Me), Nicky Slimting Walker (It’s a Lot), Dylan Duffus (1 Day), Shone Romulus (Topboy), Sarah Akokhia (Hallows Eve) and rap royalty Fekky.
