West London talented singer-songwriter SOFIA GILLANI‘s latest track titled ‘L.E.D,’ is an introspective journey that explores the concept of perceiving the world through one’s own lens, free from the filters of others.

ODARIO (on the right) wanted to inject new sonic energy into ‘Do Nada’, a single about doing nothing, made in collaboration with Edmonton jazz band Good Information. ‘Do Nada (Chaix Remix)’ is an apathetic dance track Odario made with Chaix, a multi-genre artist and beat maker from Toronto. Chaix’s sound sits comfortably between hip-hop, house, and experimental electronic. Chaix didn’t want his reimagination to feel laidback and chill… but alive & infectious.
The video for‘Do Nada (Chaix Remix)’ goes on a three-minute journey, exploring the day in the life of a wanderer attempting to do nothing for the day. It’s a reminder that a day of doing nothing can easily lead to a whole lot of random something. Loosely inspired by the Coen brothers’ 1998 film The Big Lebowski, Odario’s character manages to get out of bed, but not out of that bathrobe. Check out the video below…
Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, ISCO CRUZ is a rising artist with an unorthodox and versatile style that draws influences from Lil Wayne, Michael Jackson, Drake, and The Weeknd. While primarily categorized as R&B/Soul, his music transcends genres.

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.
