WHO YOU WIT? (CSJAM#1)

I noticed there was a beat battle just 20 minutes before submission time so I tried my best in 20 minutes.

Hope you like it.

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’.

⭐ NORDIC SOUL SYNDICATE — THE COSMIC FUNK INCIDENT (2026)
“From the cosmic groove to the human voice — the Syndicate evolves.”

In 2026, Nordic Soul Syndicate enters a completely new era.
After years of deep-cut instrumentals, underground funk experiments and cosmic jam sessions, the collective now shifts into a bold frontier:

⭐ full vocal expression
⭐ story-driven soul fusion
⭐ dance-floor emotions with a human heartbeat

This is A New Vocal Landscape — a record that blends Nordic atmosphere with American soul roots, London acid-jazz attitude and a fearless experimental edge.

Every track on the album opens another door in the Syndicate’s newly awakened universe:

🔥 TRACK OVERVIEW

1. The Cosmic Funk Incident
A retro-futuristic opener — cosmic synths, tight drums and the first sign of NSS stepping into vocal storytelling.

2. Crazy Lady
A playful soul-funk burner with sharp lyrics, attitude and groove-heavy basslines.

3. Mock the Bird (Mind Control)
Dark, hypnotic and politically charged. A vocal trip into paranoia, rhythm and resistance.

4. What’s That Sound
A raw dancefloor funk anthem — energetic, curious, alive.

5. Sharkattack
Aggressive, sharp-edged, electrified funk. Vocals bite as hard as the bass.

6. Arrest
Soul meets drama — tense, cinematic and rhythmically explosive.

7. Shame
A deep emotional cut. Warm vocals, slow-burning groove, pure vulnerability.

8. Essence Of The Beat
The signature NSS sound — now reborn with full vocal power.

9. Our House – Basement Floor
A gritty, underground neo-soul track. Warm, dusty, intimate.

10. Our House – 1st Floor
The brighter sister track — clean, open, emotional story progression.

11. Pure Boots [EXTENDED]
A long, glowing funk odyssey. Vocals drift between confidence and chaos.

12. Jesus Was a Good Gangster
The spiritual closer — gospel influences, funk attitude, bold lyrical storytelling.

🌌 THE CONCEPT

This album marks the moment when Nordic Soul Syndicate steps out of the shadows of instrumental tradition and reveals the human voice as their new superpower.
It’s funk, jazz, hip hop, soul and electronic pulse — all filtered through the Syndicate’s unmistakable Nordic atmosphere.

It’s not just a new album.

🔥 It’s a rebirth.
🔥 A reinvention.
🔥 A declaration: the voice leads the groove now.
