JAE – Don’t Be My Valentine (Freestyle)
Seeing as JAE didn’t want you to be his Valentine, we haven’t published this on Valentine’s Day. Sometimes you’ve gotta keep it real and be honest. Especially when it comes to love and romance. That’s exactly what JAE did on his freestyle, Don’t Be My Valentine. The LA-based rapper-producer gave a heartfelt speech on what …

Moo Latte – My very last christmas remix this year
Moo Latte saved the best ’til last with a quick flip of a Christmas classic. As my grandad used to say “Christmas come and it done.” We hope you had a good one. Technically, Christmas is 12 days long so we’re taking advantage of that to promote a dope remix. Moo Latte is a “24 …

Another Nigerian creative export lighting up this season is Teck-Zilla and we’re thrilled to be premiering his …
Fullee Love (aka Soup of Jurassic 5) – Deney Terrio
It’s time to get a groove on with Fullee Love on his new single, Deney Terrio. I’m writing this on a Monday morning and lord knows we need all the motivation we can get after a weekend of not working (if you’re fortunate enough to not work on those days). Deney Terrio is definitely the right …

ross & clement – coastin
Facebook sucks but sampling groups offer well-needed gems such as ross & clement’s coastin. coastin is a smooth R&B meal with all the 90s-style trimmings. Groove is the main ingredient helped by the sample, Soul II Soul’s Back To Life. There’s a sense of indulgence too, with rich textures and a slow syrupy tempo. Actually, …

Dutchy! – Mans Not Hot (Remix)
Producer Dutchy aka Dutchmassive lets things simmer with his Mans Not Hot remix. Mans Not Hot ain’t going ANYWHERE. Remixes like this are a testament to the meme’s longevity.

Theo_Huxtable – JustineMix
Long-time friend Theo_Huxtable drops a mix “for all the Justines in the world”. When you’re feeling someone’s aesthetic, you’ve gotta get a collab in and that’s what we did.

Otis Mensah – Aurora
Otis Mensah shines an Aurora beam with his latest track. When it comes to saying what’s on his mind, Otis Mensah does exactly that. He describes Aurora as a song that “takes you through a stream of consciousness, string of thought and social commentary”. That’s evident in his delivery, which I’d call more a deluge …
