Isatta Sheriff and Koralle join forces on ‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ - a six track EP that unites the talents of the East London MC and the Bologna-based beat smith. The duo's first collabo ‘Laid Back’ was released in 2021 and gained 2.5 million streams to date. Even though the music is made in Italy ‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ is a London sumting.

“It's a laid back journey into my world in East London,” Isatta explains. “I paint a picture of my journey so far as a Black female rapper, and the racial politics and experiences surrounding that. It follows Laid Back’s relaxed approach to the stage where I am at making music on my own terms and speaking freely.”

On the EP, Isatta is joined by fellow vocalists Lex Amor, Shumba Youth, Awate and Mercy's Cartel who are also not afraid to eat the kiwi skin. “The skin is the most nutritious part of the fruit and you have to digest the roughness (harshness) to get the most nourishment,” the outspoken Eastender explains.

“When you do things differently, some people get it, and some don’t. Some join in and some just comment from the sidelines. Might not be the easiest (or tastiest) thing to hear but it's necessary. This could be interpreted in a music and life sense.”

Isatta's track record includes collabos with Flying Lotus, Oddisee, Arrested Development and Athletic Progression. She is hosting a radio show, runs her own label Doctored Sound and works as a music writer.
Koralle is one of the most in demand European beatmakers with a sound rooted in jazz and boom-bap. Since signing with MPM in 2019, he has released three albums and accumulated more than 30 million streams.
 
‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ will be available digital and on LP (including instrumental edits of all tracks for the beat lovers out there). The album artwork is designed by acclaimed Colombian illustrator SagaUno who also did the covers for The Silhouettes Project and Koralle's ‘Beat Kiosk’.

cqqlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/leonar…arles-heaven

The “Heaven” EP features producer-extraordinaire Leonard Charles at the helm, collaborating with prodigious artists from New Zealand (his home country) and the USA, to create a wildly eclectic E.P. project with the common underlying thread of basement funk knitting it together. This presentation of funk is truly a legitimate foundation for the heads that need it: built upon solid soul/jazz chord progressions and played on original musical equipment/gear from the 80’s and 90’s. The record features an exclusive remix of the song “Nine Lives” that he co-wrote with boogie/funk legend Leroy Burgess, and additionally features stellar collaborations with Guilty Simpson, Zyah Belle, Reality Jonez and A.C. Freazy.
