“A gentleman don’t kiss and tell…”

Renelle 893 returns with massive new single ‘Gentleman’.

A re-introduction to Renelle’s universe and a brilliant reminder of his collaborative partnership with Bay29, ‘Gentleman’ sees Renelle searching out life’s earthly pleasures atop a thumping 90s-era instrumental (circa Mobb Deep et al). Accompanied by an eye-watering video utilising cutting edge technology, ‘Gentleman’ oozes the classic energies that we hope Renelle & Bay29 long continue to champion.

The third instalment in Verbz, Nelson Dialect & Mr Slipz’ Live sessions sees the trio revisit the lead single from ‘Sight Beyond Sight’.

‘Strike Back’ feels like the perfect song for the settings; Slipz’ production chiming perfectly with the live bass and drums, with Verbz & Nelson going B2B in emphatic fashion.

On an album stacked with highlights, ‘Strike Back’ remains one of our favourites.

‘Sight Beyond Sight’ is OUT NOW across all formats, including 2x12” ‘Ochre’ & 'Black' vinyl options, brand new merch AND Deluxe bundle offerings in SUPER LIMITED numbers - https://bfan.link/sight-beyond-sight

“Hey, are you a hard worker? Do you deprive yourself of sleep working on your craft? Do you brave all environmental conditions to try and reach your lofty goals? How about a thick bag of slime for all your effort? Money is overrated, slime promotes character growth and nerves of steel. Get yours today!

Life is interesting. Everyone has their own experience. For some of us life is blissful, for others life is mid, and for others, life is a struggle. The struggle doesn’t mean it’s all bad though and it can be character building. I and many others of the human species fall into the latter category. ‘THICK BAG OF SLIME’ is about striving and getting little in return, sometimes nothing but the life equivalent of GUNGE. Meanwhile, more powerful entities than previously described experience none of this and thrive in the most nefarious way possible. 

This song is about all that shit with an ample helping of FONK. So press play and turn it up... NOW.”

We’re really enjoying putting out the recent singles from Vitamin G. ‘Icy Yute’ got the ball rolling, the momentum picked up on ‘Big Spender’, and now, just in time for Chrismtas, we are delighted to reveal ‘Pep’.

Made up of all the component parts you have come to expect from Vitamin G - the catchy hook, the footie references, the razor sharp flows and intricate punchlines, ‘Pep’ is another brilliant example of balance; the rolling instrumental (and video) courtesy of King Girl expertly complementing Vitz’ lyricism from start-to-finish.
