Song of the Day: All That Matters – Snowy

Joining forces with long-time collaborator Massappeals on production, the powerful yet dynamic instrumental on ‘All That Matters’ by Nottingham’s finest SNOWY, smacks you in the face and lets you know the GREEZE is here. First written and recorded in 2018, ‘All That Matters’ hasn’t been released until now and still sounds brand new. Snowy’s relentless flow and brash lyrics coupled with Massappeals’ energetic instrumental brings a refreshing 2021 take to the Grime genre. The duo made the record with one goal in mind – great music stands the test of time.

With the pandemic putting the brakes on the music industry at large, Snowy has kept up the momentum, continuing to release music and lending his versatility to many different genres throughout 2020. Funky House smasher ‘Honey Riddim’ with ‘Murder He Wrote’ went back in to the charts 18 months after release and the Dead Beat UK Bassline remix has been dominating dance playlists across streaming services. Drum and Bass ‘Wicked & Bad’ EP with Sam Binga, Hyroglifics and Riko Dan gained international recognition alongside a vinyl release and ‘Butterfly’ is still lighting up raves globally after its digital and vinyl release by underground pioneering label SWAMP81. During this time Snowy has also started his #STR8DROPS series including singles such as Nile Ranger, FOCUS which was featured in New Music Friday and 26 Personalities which helped raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

This sparse yet frenzied single (part of forthcoming EP release) brings Snowy back to his Grime roots and is here to show that everything else is noise, having bangers is ALL THAT MATTERS. Check this bad boy out below…

Song of the Day: My Year – S5

Stretching from the streets of Nottingham, UK, and having accumulated tens of thousands of fans through viral YouTube channels GRM Daily and Link Up TV, S5 dropped his highly-anticipated single, ‘My Year’ at the beginning of 2021.

Produced by Ran & Nash (Toosii, Lil Keed, NLE Choppa), the upbeat single S5 shares the new lifestyle he has created for himself after years of hard work in the studio.

“This my year, the fans are feeling me, the feeling so strong” is reminiscent of current Top-40 UK charting artists such as D-Block Europe and M Huncho – who identically rose to fame as S5 – through viral videos on GRM Daily and Link Up TV also.

Song of the Day: Pattern – Trinity Square

Ever since Huey, ZIA, YD, Baby Boy and Trizzy VS released breakout record ‘Creepin’, they’ve been on an upward trajectory and their latest joint ‘Pattern’ looks set to see them enjoy further success as they continue to take their sound to another level.

With a varied mix of 5 separate sonics that provide rap, singing, depth, pace changes and knock out hooks, TRINITY SQUARE confidently blend individuality with the power of a group and are quickly being identified for the fact they can create big, original, sing-a-long records that highlight their exuberant energy and style.

Rooted in friendship, the music is a by-product of the natural vibe between the guys, which is why it works so flawlessly. Their shared opinions, personal takes on situations and ability to share playful innuendos and concepts, in an individual way, makes the result unique, genuine and contrasting from other music on offer right now.

With their hometown of Nottingham already firmly on lock from impressive early releases including ‘Pull Up’, ‘Gwop & Gwolla’, ‘Cold Summer’ and ‘Fanta’, TRINITY SQUARE found their first taste of major support with their most recent single ‘Creepin’ and have since gained support from fellow Notts chart hitters Young T & Bugsey.

Check out the video for the blazing track below:

Song of the Day: Creepin – Trinity Square

Following its premier with DJ Target on 1Xtra and the visual release via GRM Daily, Nottingham group TRINITY SQUARE have smashed onto the scene with Instagram going crazy for the video and some of the biggest UK channels, including Hackney’s Finest, Young Kings, The StreetBlogs, imjustthatguy and banterNtalent looking like they can’t get enough of it. The group have also pulled in national radio support and playlists from Kiss Fresh, Apple Music, Pulse 88 as well as BBC Introducing via Leicester, Derby and Nottingham.

A group of five young rappers and singers; Huey, ZIA, YD, B5IVE, and Trizzy VS – TRINITY SQUARE are hitting the radar amongst many emerging figures due to their unique style which is both hard-hitting and smooth. Produced by Stunnah Sez Beatz, ‘Creepin’ hears each of the TRINITY SQUARE members bring a different element to the track to wind it into an infectiously catchy number with a hugely melodic, sing-a-long hook. Varying pace and rap flows meet with harmonic lyrics and whilst each individual stands out with clarity, the combination of all elements works together in perfect harmony.

Their distinct twist of UK Rap and singing compliments the already vibrant UK urban scene and following a number of impressive YouTube releases such as ‘Pull Up’, ‘Gwop & Gwolla’, ‘Cold Summer’ and ‘Fanta’, the guys have built up an admirable opening discography for anyone that wants to discover more….

Check out the ‘Purge’ inspired video for ‘Creepin’ below, directed by JP Clearvision (J Hus/Hex):
