Burner Phone Ft. Wakai, Diani, Isaac Rich & jah. - Halfway [Review]

Rating 4 out of 5

Find a patch a grass, some headphones maybe a lil drink a lil s**** and lose yourself in this record. ‘Halfway’ is heady without losing you on the journey. All the vocalists bring something fresh a unique to the song and the soulful production is the glue. Everything about this record is hypnotic and effortless. A late contender for jam of the summer.

Malcom x Bino - Exhausted [Review]

Rating 3 out of 5

I think we can all agree that life is tiring. Sometimes its so tiring I can’t even find the words to say how I’m feeling, and on those days I’m grateful records like this exist. Malcom & Bino dive into how people and life can be draining and well exhausting and say what we all wanna say when we feel like we keep taking losses I’M EXHAUSTED!

LEONE - GTFOH [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

Sometimes you just wanna tell someone GTFOH!? This song says it for you and then some in every which way possible. It’s loud, its brash, aggressive yet somehow extremely charming. The peacocking vocal performance is reminiscent of a young Jagger and its in your face production hooks in seconds. The next time someone gives you their unsolicited opinion, just press play on this... you’re welcome.

Nowo - Jungle [Review]

Rating: 3 out of 5

I’m loving the influence UK drill is having on music around the world and this record is no exception. ‘Jungle’ is smooth and inviting whilst still having attitude and tempo. Nowo is right the world is a jungle but records like this make it just that little bit easier to navigate.

Small Million - Good Impression

Rating: 3 out of 5

This record is equal parts raw passion and beautiful chaos. Vocally ‘Good Impression’ is arresting and sonically its big without being overpowering. This is more than a song... Small Million just gave us an anthem!

Cooper T - Original [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

If a Guy Ritchie film was a song it would be Cooper T’s chest out anthem Original. The record screams bravado and Manchester swagger. The lyrics are cheeky and angsty and the production just makes your body move. Taking from their new EP ‘Sapiens’ Manchester might just have their next hometown heroes emerging.

The Sound - Skin [Review]

Rating - 4 out of 5

This record is vulnerable, raw and honest. The way it starts to subdued and builds into a crescendo of angst and passion is expertly executed.
