“Four decades on the horizon, man I’m not ready…”

Verb T returns with a brand new celebration of his veteran status in the shape of ‘Four Oh!’ 

Filing next to previous classics ‘Where You Find Me’ and ‘Old And Grumpy’, Verb T stares down the shifting sands of time AND WINS! Funny, introspective, but also catchy AF (hold tight Vic Gimes on production); the track is as refreshing as it is honest.

‘Four Oh!’ Is OUT NOW.

“Never self sabotage when you know your purpose…”

Single #3 on the Verb T comeback trail is his most revealing to date; Verbs focussing on the transitional times in his life, speaking on the challenges he has faced on a search for stability. 

Equal parts humorous observation and serious life affirmation (a signature blend) and set to a soothing guitar driven instrumental courtesy of Vic Grimes, ‘New View’ is lifted from the new album ‘The Tower Where The Phantom Lives’ dropping 27.10.23 on High Focus Records.

All star remix of Four Oh! featuring comedic royalty Romesh Ranganathan and Doc Brown.

STREAM / ORDER ‘Pirómanos’ - https://bfan.link/piromanos

‘Pirómanos’ (directly translating as ‘pyromaniacs’) is the third single from Colombian legend Granuja and UK rap outlier Jam Baxter. 

Evoking the fiery crimson tones of a burning hatchback in an underpass and interwoven by the creeping menace of a black and white film noir crime thriller, ‘Pirómanos’ firmly doubles down on the energies of lead single ‘Huéspedes’; both Granuja and Baxter purging the depths, expertly scored by Jack Danz’ customary gothic shroud.

“Pirómanos” es el tercero sencillo de la leyenda colombiana Granuja y el elusivo británico MC Jam Baxter.  
 
Evocando los tonos ardientes de color carmesí de un coche en llamas en una senda subterránea, y mezclada con la amenaza ahumada de una película de crimen film noir, “Pirómanos” se suma a y fortalece la energía del single principal “Huéspedes”; tanto Granuja como Baxter purgan sus profundidades internas, marcados siempre por el ritmo expertamente gótico de Jack Danz.
