It’s been a little over ten days since J.KAS appeared on NEW LEASE MUSIC with upbeat effort, Rich and Famous. Now he returns with something different.
Featuring Alicia Renee’s soothing vocals, latest track Be Real showcases the upcoming rapper’s uncharacteristically easy-cruising flow washing over atmospheric arrangements, creating a real chilled out vibe. This is definitely going to be a hot one, have a listen.
Be Real is the second release from J.KAS‘ second EP #Hometown out 3rd February
Conscious lyricist KING DICE O is keeping to his new year’s resolution and knocks out the second release for this month appropriately named Working, taken from his upcoming mixtape, The Life Vol.2 (The Quiet Storm), out 18th February. Take time out and have a listen!
Producer Ben Johnson ventured out as PROJECT X and has dropped his brand new debut track, Sensi.
Although the 12-hour old slammer displays bold use of two-step garage and drum’n’bass, Johnson is also influenced by jungle and house music and will make an appearance in future releases.
Before PROJECT X, the south Londoner produced drum & bass releases supported by Zinc and Ram Records, remixed for Florence and the Machine and received praise from Ibiza Rocks, NME Radio and Kiss FM. With this latest release, this one-man show will unquestionably crank up even more support.
Sensi is now available as a free download via SoundCloud.
Continuously representing the northern underground music scene, SHINOBI just slammed his brand new track Like I Do.
The explosive banger sees the Sheffield grimester spitting bars over a murky Sticky Blood instrumental that draws on the early days of grime, made up of a racing backline and jerking synth fuelled beat, while fellow Sheffield MC LDizz drops an energetic verse.
The co-founder of A.O.K (All Out Krew) and Sheffield-based online radio station, UK Mondo recently enjoyed success with the Sheffield hip-hop collective Clubs & Spades, made up of fellow MC Matic Mouth and producers Andy Nicholson and Jamie Shield. Their track Clearer Coast was made Record of the Week by Charlie Sloth on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Record of the Day online and hit radio playlists throughout the UK. SHINOBI‘s solo release is set to make serious waves among music critics and fans.
Like I Do is available now via iTunes…but for now, check out the video.
Chris Redgate (vocals), Ed Campbell (guitar), Joe Ashmore (guitar), Josh Thomas (drums) and Sean Luttman (bass) – aka – indie rock band BROTHERS WATER reveal their new single, Do What You Like, taken from their debut EP, Your Name In Paint.
A distorted guitar takes centre stage in the four-minute reflective single, perfectly balancing the soothingly atmospheric arrangements. Describing their latest offering, vocalist Chris Redgate said: “It’s a song about being betrayed, and how sometimes an apology doesn’t even come close to making it right.”
The EP was recorded at the Doghouse studio, Henley, under the guidance of Michaelis ‘MSM’ Michael (Skepta, Zak Abel) with help from Sticky Blood producers Andy Nicholson (Arctic Monkeys) and Jamie Shield. An early release of first single ‘Mascara’ has had airplay on Radio 1 and BBC Introducing, setting a precedent for what should be a noteworthy debut.
Your Name In Paint EP is set for release on 31 January 2016. For now, listen to Do What You Like.
