IN MY ZONE - DON PAY (YOLA BABY) FEATURING BIG GUAP

Footwork forms the backbone of this skittering collection of jams from faceless All City rep, Druguse. Hood Rich Life - which arrives on 12” vinyl some time in February - is also rich with rap acapellas, plucking lyrical inspiration from LA as equally as it does from the mid-West. “Twenty Two”, our choice for today's Debut, successfully pairs snippets of Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’” with a frenetic, juke-flavoured backdrop. Hood Rich Life is released on February 16th.

An unreleased Riko Dan vocal from 2006? Uhhhh.... yeah go on then! This one is one of the two previously unheard tunes on a humungous compilation coming up from Dev79 and Starkey's Philadelphia-based Slit Jockey label. While the rest of America is still slowly, slowly waking up to grime, these two have been tirelessly championing the sound and the culture for a full decade now - and here's the proof!

Dev79 & Riko Dan "Snapper Riddim" - Boiler Room Debuts

Astral Black aren't letting up with the haymakers. Drae Da Skimask's '95 Mindfulness was some uppercut - the best in 'melodic trap rhythms' if we don't say so ourselves. Me+1 is up next; the collaborative project from LDN-based word slinger, ItsNate and Soulection/Rinse FM affiliated producer, JD. Reid. The pair have been on-off tag-team partners for yonks, consistently honing in on the vertex between hip-hop/trap and grime with flick-of-the-wrist ease.

They're not too shabby on their own either. ItsNate's discography has cobbled together some of UK hip-hop's most promising beatsmiths - from Darq E Freaker, Budgie and skwlkr while also being earmarked by Danny Brown as one of his UK MC faves. JD's outings on Plastician’s Terrorhythm imprint, a feature on Soulection x Stussy’s 2014 compilation and a recent collab with Grime wunder-kid, Faze Miyaki are all finely tuned efforts too.

"Chopper" is a pan-Atlantic affair, placing ItsNate shoulder-to-shoulder with Chicago's very own 'soul trap' originator, Tree.

Me+1 is due for release September 11th via Astral Black on limited edition cassette tape and digital download. Pre-order it here.

Brand New - Ryan Hitman Betz

For those of you not yet acquainted with Quincy Vidal, now's the time. The Brooklyn duo comprises of Le'Asha Julius and Caleb Eberhardt (CE), who combine their vocal, MCing and production skills in their soulful, thought-provoking and truly original creations. "No style is more present than the singular, alive and confident voices of Quincy Vidal. Day-in-the-life odysseys through a fiercely modern take on Golden Age hip hop" – still stands as the most succinct description of QV's music.

Chi'ren is the latest project emanating from New York's notorious two-piece. With production credits split between CE and Space People, the EP's seven tracks unearth musical memories from the nineties, through to the noughties and tens. Le'Asha and Caleb's anecdotal lyrics touch on love, anger, sex, betrayal, and – along with the wolf boy artwork – the loss of childhood innocence. A theme that resonates deeply coming from two young-blood virtuosos of NYC hip hop, and it doesn't even end there. Styles Upon Styles is releasing an early download of the EP alongside a limited edition hoodie which features the cover art. A portion of the proceeds will then be donated to Food Bank NYC.

Quincy Vidal's Chi'ren will be available on all digital music stores come April Fool's Day.
