‘Homecoming’ reflects upon death, past regrets and personal atonement. Expertly reinterpreted with the brilliant vocals of neo soul singer Kieran; both Verbz and Nelson harness the live settings to dial up the emotion to 10; expertly scored by Slipz (and co).

‘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.

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.

Kemastry offers up his ‘Infinite Playlist’, a stunning new single that sees Kema lose himself in a sea of introspection; constructing beautifully warped portraits of destruction, healing and reconciliation on his way.

Served with a spoonful of sugar courtesy of MazeyJune's soulful vocals, ’Infinite Playlist’ offers a delicate balance of sadness and hope in trying times.

“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.”

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.
