Downtown Kayoto’s EP ‘Learning in public’ Goes On An Eventful Journey of Hip-Hop, Grime R&B, UK Garage & Indie Rock

DOWNTOWN KAYOTO, the project of Zimbabwe born, Hull UK based musician Chiko Chinyadza, has released his new EP ‘Learning in public’. Working with New York based producers Frankie Scoca (Dreamer Isioma, Nina Cobham) and Jack Laboz (María Isabel, Alice Longyu Gao) on its creation, the EP brazenly oscillates between bouncing house, trap and UK grime, dynamic indie-rock-flavoured hip-hop and agile UK-garage tinged R&B.

A voyage of self discovery and ultimately a project fuelled by the act of taking risks, across the six tracks on ‘Learning in public’, Chinyadza explores his own artistry and feelings of futility and listlessness on “Lite”, self improvement and personal growth on “Changed it” and “Run from you”, and examines his own relationships on “In2you” and “Poison”, with the latter going deeper into themes of self pity, accountability and empathy within those relationships. Check it out below…

Must Listens: Lite, Poison

Song of the Day: Grifter – Dimzy

Encapsulating the feeling and experience of being a young black man growing up in London, DIMZY‘s track, ‘Grafter’ explores the fight and will-power that comes with it. Referencing his Mum as a big inspiration behind his determination to succeed, he tells a tale that many will relate to.

Dimzy says of his hard-hitting release: “Grafter is about me being a young black man in the UK speaking on what London is like right now. It’s about my determination to win in everything including war, war on being the best version of my myself and to keep driving at full force no matter the barriers I come across. Every day for a young black man is war, so war is war, if you want it that’s that. I’m a hustler and grafter just like my mum; my mum was my biggest motivation when it came to getting money, she always found a way no matter the circumstances that’s why I’m the hustler I am today.”

Journeying back to 2012 where Dimzy first made his emergence in UK Rap and Drill, it was the year of 2014 that he began to play an integral role in the genre’s growth. Dimzy is prominently known for his part in 67, a collective of artists that pioneered Drill with their explosive single ‘Let’s Lurk’, who swiftly gained millions of views online. Since then, the rest is history! Housing various projects including ‘A Glass of Water’, ‘Dim the Lights’, and more, the London native is gearing up for an explosive year ahead.
