Following her debut EP, ‘SE7EN Phases’: Moonscape, LORELLE HOWARD is back with a video for new single, ‘Everybody Workin’ which boasts some fresh hip-hop hooks with a touch of 90s dance vibe.
Shot in various area in Brixton, the striking production encaptures the track’s lighthearted approach to the daily struggles of working 9-5. The idea was born in Paris with her producer, Blastar (Pusha T, Tyga, The Game…), as a joke and they quickly realized it was all too true and created the track.

Currently bodying the drill scene, the last three months have been a major breakthrough for FIZZLER. With a slew of freestyles, collaborations with some of the hardest hitters out, plus remixes and solo drops, the young driller has been seen and heard in all the right places and with all the right people, earning himself a profile which has resulted in his followers, views and streams consistently snowball skywards.
Teaming up with Just Jam Recordings, Fizzler releases āWet it SZNā, his debut EP. With it comes the video for G.U.Y, one of the top draws from the 6-track collection which offers up a bouncy flow and sees him working the Ghosty beat to perfection – given his wins of late itās not difficult to see why heās confidently appointed himself as the G.U.Y in the lyrics either.
If this is your first encounter of Fizzler, G.U.Y is the ideal introduction. Having defined his own musical lane, Fizzler is leading the way as a game changer in Drill. Perfectly capturing the gritty, dark and menacing vibes of the genre his wordplay and delivery tends to take a step towards more melodic, poetic and progressive lyricism, which has been key to his success to date and is perfectly displayed on his latest drop – not only impressing the drill fans but also drawing in a crowd from the rap world too. With an icy, sharply edited visual to accompany the release, the cool blue tones, snappy edits and glitching effects highlight Fizzler as quite the performer in front of the camera and add to a consistently impressive reel of visuals.

NO BAKING SODA is ready to set the tone for whatās to come in 2020 with brand new single ‘Cereal’, proving this East London artist is truly in a lane of his own.
Having burst onto the scene a few years ago as part of the 3OW / WZRDSHIT collective, NO BAKING SODA (formally known as Mr. Jaeger) has become known for his unique, laid back delivery and his introspective bars about the hard life of a kid growing up in Homerton, Hackney, with a core theme of his music being the problems the inner city presents.
After taking time away from releasing his own music, 2019 saw Soda return and dip his feet into several creative opportunities including opening up his North London recording studio The Cave 2.0. After collaborating on songs with the likes of Jatz Da Kid & Finesse Tha World Records he released his first solo single ‘iPod’, a bouncy, nostalgic track showcasing his comfort with flow. The track was praised highly in the underground circuit, giving Soda the extra push he needed for recognition as one of Londonās most sensational newcomers.
Now closing out the year strong with the release of his latest video ‘Cereal’ – produced by long term collaborator Orangesky – Soda skates naturally over the beat displaying his elite level of rhyming, laying down some on his trademark bars about the hustle in East London. While the lo-fi visuals demonstrate his signature style mirroring an authentic early 90s New York get up. With lyrics like āhad roaches in my cereal and in the oven, wish it was a joke bro but it really wasnātā, Soda goes into the struggles heās faced growing up. Speaking on the track he states,
With another EP on the way as well as a full mixtape and more exceptional visuals showing he is on a completely different calibre to his peers, itās only a matter of time that NO BAKING SODA is a household name in the London scene…Check him out below…
