Little Simz - Might Bang, Might Not

Definitely bangs... My favourite tune from Little Simz's new EP 'Drop 6', which dropped earlier this month. One of the most talented MC's out there, full stop. The production, bars and delivery on this are next level... Must have listened about 50 times. Check out the whole EP here.

Truemendous - That Don't Mean

Very, very happy to hear that High Focus have signed UK rapper Truemendous and will be dropping her debut EP at the end of this month. Ever since hearing her verse on the Fliptrix and Verb T album last year, I've become a huge fan of True's work and think she's one of the most exciting prospects out there... Her rhythm, her flow, her bars - everything is on point, making you want to pull it up and listen again, and again. Buy and stream here. Can't wait to hear the whole EP.
