JATZDAKID slams down his first release of the year, ‘This Is The Place’, which sees the emerging rapper in his element, freestyling and singing over a trippy and atmospheric trap beat, delivering his trademark trip hop style that earned him a devout cult fan base.
The track is accompanied by a The Doors-esque video which shows Jatz fly out to LA, followed by videographer Casper Masi, as he stumbles through Hollywood Boulevard and finds himself trekking through the desert with classic Jatzdakid style.
Taking music seriously two years ago, after being kicked out on the streets, 2018 was a huge stepping stone for Jatz; dropping project ‘Just Another Kid’ featuring Octavian, TysxnRxmain and more, with his lead single ‘4’ racking up 50k streams on Soundcloud alone. He’s also gone on to collaborate with some of the UK’s more hyped artists such as Capo Lee, Kadiata, Vinch and House of Pharaohs members Sam Wise, Blaze YL and Bandanna

JOSHUA LUKE SMITH‘s latest mixtape, ‘Beats And Pieces Volume Two’, stemmed from a difficult time when his wife and his father were in hospital – at the same time.
The result of his latest set could have been predictably dark and melancholic. Instead a soothing and comforting presence of soulful boombap runs throughout the best part of the collection, with Joshua’s lucidly smooth delivery adding some hope and optimism.
Tracks ‘Joy’ and ‘Circles’ provides another dimension to the set with intensively imitate arrangements, prompting the prospective listener to really home in and resonate with the message in each productions.
Now this guy has produced the entire mixtape under a month – he wrote the lyrics of each song in a hospital waiting room whilst being with his wife and father. Joshua gets my utmost respect as, in a time of distress, he produced a stunning collection that displays an unflappable appreciation for life.
‘Beats And Pieces, Vol.2’ should be a reminder to us all that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel…no matter how hard life gets…Check it out below…
