How do you top the lead collaboration from the last FNG (Funky & Garage) EP consisting of Nottingham's most accoladed bass/funky producer - Killjoy, and everyone’s favourite Hackney host - Shantie? Not an easy task by any means, but one that 1Forty relishes. And the outcome? One of Roska Kicks & Snare’s flagship artists in recent years Murder He Wrote links up with Nottingham's stand out Grime MC - Snowy.

With influences spanning UKG, Hip-Hop, Dancehall and Drum & Bass, Murder He Wrote is one of the most distinctive producers in the UK’s fertile bass scene. His original productions have seen him not just make himself right at home on RKS but his prolific remix schedule has taken in official reworks that have released across the likes of Black Butter, Universal and Skrillex’s NEST imprint. 2017/18 saw debut performances in China, Australia and Canada whilst maintaining a healthy schedule across the UK and Europe, shows and festivals alike.

Regular appearances on the airwaves included Guest Mix’s and shows on Rinse FM, NTS and BBC Radio 1 where Toddla T named him as one of his Freshman 2017 alongside AJ Tracey and Nadia Rose. The end of 2018 marked the birth of his own imprint - Rhythm Athletic, with its debut release topping the Juno Download & Beatport charts and gaining support from the likes of Zed Bias, Redlight and Gilles Peterson. With collaborations lined up for 2019 with NYTA, Chrystal and MC Fox and a second Australia Tour already under his belt this release is just the cherry on top of the Honey, Lemon & Ginger..

On the vocal is ‘Nottinghams Saviour’ aka Snowy, a rising star of the underground Grime scene who has been tipped for a huge career by the likes of Complex, Crack and Mixmag. Snowy has continued to build on this profile over the last couple of years. The UK’s hottest sound selectors regularly support his releases inc. the likes of Mistajam, Toddla T, Sian Anderson, Logan Sama, Dj Cable, Plastician, Target and many more. He has made a number of appearances on 1Xtra, both solo for Spyro’s #SoundsOfTheVerse and and sets with the likes of Flowdan, Jammz, Tommy B, Shadow amongst others. His shows have taken him out to the likes of Dubai alongside Skepta and Stormzy and in 2017 became the first ever artist to take Grime to Estonia and the start of 2019 saw him perform in Ethopia alongside another 1Forty featured artist - Maxsta.

Snowys portfolio of tracks has been the catalyst of his growth and has regularly found himself recording at Red Bull Studios in London. Throughout this time he's caught the attention of Idris Elba, Lily Allen and Mike Skinner, the latter signing his track ‘Going On’ to his Label. His music is well known for his unique Nottingham slang and style. Snowys sound encompasses many genres, his ‘Callous’ EP released earlier this year was a diverse body of work which firmly represented this. After achieving his goal of rising through the ranks and dragging the Nottingham scene to the forefront of Grime, Snowy is focusing on carving his name out as not just a high energy stage show performer and MC but a versatile artist as shown with this next release.

"1Forty have made quite a name for themselves with their genre-themed compilation EPs." - Complex UK

"I find it quite hard to find a lot of modern Grime with that weight it originated with, and its similar with the Funky but 1Forty seem to be finding these records and putting them out, keeping that flame alive." - Toddla T (BBC Radio 1)
