SOTD: Frenzy Takes A Stand On Knife Crime In ‘Murder Mile’

Hackney rapper FRENZY delivers his track entitled ‘Murder Mile into today’s hotspot’; a gritty, real yet modern depiction of the issues with knife crime Hackney are currently facing.

The latest offering serves as the title track off his long awaited ‘Murder Mile’ EP, which as a whole is a statement about the real life impact of knife crime in London, as well as a positive look towards the future.

With as many gritty and dark cuts as there are upbeat and bouncy ones, ‘Murder Mile’ is a true reflection of the ying and the yang of what life presents, and with big features from the likes of Sam Wise, Knucks, Kadiata and many more, it’s set to make a big statement this year.

With Drill continuing to top the charts, and many of these artists having grown up alongside FRENZY, the unapologetic ‘Murder Mile’ EP aims to shine a light on the gruesome reality that is only seen by the people living in these poverty stricken areas that are commonly glorified in music today.

New Music Video: Flavours – D L K

Having released the audio for ‘Favours’ last month, talented Londoner Duramaney D L K Kamara has now released the artistic, striking and bold video.

Making clever use of camera angles, colours and silhouettes, the visual, directed by Reece Selvadorai, channels the senses to the emotion in the record, highlighting the wants and needs from other people in life and the very sense of how alone we are in that moment, for the better or worse.

Taken from his debut EP ‘F*** It Let’s Move’, D L K’s self-produced 5-track, ‘Favour’ leads with promise as to his future in the music scene. Featuring co-production from Thrilla, a notable and rising producer from the UK who co-produced ‘Favours’ alongside Meshach and D L K, the EP also features KESHAV credited as co-producer on ‘Stay Low’ and a featured guest performance from a longtime friend and talented aspiring rapper from North London, Sweeney featured on ‘Big Facts’.
