The “Generic Everything” LP by Chase & Status will be released on Warner on October 9, 2026. The ten-track record follows the duo into a phase of intense collaboration and introduces “Gone Too Far” with Debbie as its lead single. The release builds on the band’s recent successes and channels the recognizable production styles of Chase & Status into a new, overarching concept.

Musically, “Generic Everything” moves between rap, sound system culture, and electronic production; the album addresses resistance to creative conformity in a music landscape shaped by algorithms. Across the full-length album, Chase & Status combine their own beats with distinctive voices from the British scene and beyond: featured guests include J Hus, Little Simz, Skrillex, Giggs, D Double E, IRAH, and Col3trane. These guests help “Generic Everything” deliberately break open different sonic spaces while still maintaining a coherent signature.

For fans of contemporary UK music, the “Generic Everything” LP on Warner offers a focused snapshot of the current cross-pollination between club aesthetics and urban hip-hop; the album prioritizes collaboration and dense production while refusing to adhere to stylistic boundaries.

Skepta returns with his highly anticipated new album,The Fork and Knife. A record rooted in the sounds, energy and culture of contemporary Britain, while looking firmly beyond its borders.
Shaped by decades spent immersed in sound systems, clubs and rave spaces, The Fork and Knife moves freely between grime, garage, house, jungle and electronic music. At its centre is Skepta as a rapper, writer and producer - reflecting his position at the centre of rap and his instinct to continually push the sound forward. Identity runs through the heart of the album. Skepta explores what it means to be British, the son of Nigerian immigrants, and to exist between cultures. Rather than viewing diaspora through a lens of struggle, The Fork and Knife embraces it as a source of strength, a superpower that has informed Skepta’s resilience, work ethic
and creative instinct. The visual world of The Fork and Knife draws on 1980s Nigerian-British imagery, football culture and documentary realism, connecting the history of the Windrush generation with the energy and reality of modern London.

The splatter vinyl edition of Datkid’s “Very Heavy Lead” LP is being released on High Focus. Five years after “Wakmo,” the Bristol MC returns with 18 new tracks, consistently carrying forward his raw, direct take on UK hip-hop.

Illinformed and Dumb Logic share production duties. The two work closely together, alternating between playing instruments and developing new variations on classic boom-bap sounds. Datkid’s distinctive voice meets dark, hard-hitting beats that reflect personal experiences, anger, and the atmosphere of his hometown.

“Very Heavy Lead” brings together an array of guests. Jack Jetson and Bil Next join Datkid on “Hold That,” while Leaf Dog and Eric The Red appear on “Hour Glass.” Crossbow T is featured on “Pull Up,” and Young Zee, known for his work with the Fugees and Eminem, appears on “Fresh Out.” Two major posse cuts expand the album further: “Church Rd” brings together members of Split Prophets, including Res One, Upfront, Flying Monk, and Paro. “Tabernackle” unites RLD with Leaf Dog, BVA, Sean Peng, Smellington Piff, and Jman. In doing so, High Focus combines fresh energy with the timeless grit of Datkid’s Bristol rap.

Children of Zeus return with their third studio album ‘As The World Burns…’

Five years on from their highly-acclaimed sophomore album ‘Balance’, Manchester’s kings of hip hop soul, Tyler Daley and Konny Kon, bring us a brand new 16-track opus.

Sonically the duo continue their story where they left off; crafting an amalgamation of street soul, alternative r&b and boom bap hip hop, with a sprinkle of flavours taken from their original multi-genre pirate radio influences, and a dash of forward-thinking new sounds, ensuring all tracks are destined to become future classics.

The features are sparing but powerful, enlisting the talents of revered UK rapper Knucks (‘Before We Drown’), Colorado-native Young Old Soul (‘Dopamine’), MCR family [ K S R ] (‘Do You Want To Get High’}, & Australian/Mauritian up & comer Anieszka (‘Water & Vibes’).

As with previous projects, this album is largely produced by the duo themselves, though there are guest productions from previous collaborators too, including Grammy Award-winner Beat Butcha, Grammy-nominated Teo, and broken beat pioneer K15, along with an assortment of new players making moves in the underground neo-soul & beats circuit.

Conceptually, this project continues on with the story to date. An eternal search for sunsets and soulfood, as a respite to the anxieties of the modern world; personally, professionally and globally. Assertive swagger is matched with brutal but sincere candidity. As ever, it encapsulates the rough with the smooth, with reflections on where they’ve been, where they’re at and where they’re headed. There’s no preaching to be found here; just an acceptance of things as they are, an embrace of the environment and people they were nurtured by, and a celebration of some of the finer things in life; slow jams, weed & rum, water & vibes. Raps for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners. All packaged together as another perfect sonic love letter to sound system culture. 50 minutes of big people music.

Since the release of their anthemic debut single ‘Still Standing’ a decade ago, to the subsequent EP ‘The Story So Far’, and their critically-lauded debut album ‘Travel Light’, the duo have received numerous accolades, including nominations for AIM Awards & Worldwide Awards both, along with tons of ‘Album of the Year’ nods care of Clash Magazine, Bandcamp, Complex, Wordplay and many more. This along with huge swathes of support from DJs, radio stations, press outlets, tastemakers, luminaries & fellow artists across the globe.

Children of Zeus have performed sessions for COLORS, Soulection (Apple Music), DJ AG, Boiler Room, BBC 6 Music and at the infamous Maida Vale studios for BBC 1Xtra as well as touring across Europe, Australia and South Africa. This is in addition to collaborating & touring with Mercury Award Winner’s Ezra Collective, including a Wembley Arena show. Other collaborations over the years have included Shy FX, Juls, Goldie, Black Milk, Kofi Stone and the late great Lenzman.

From the Broke ’n’ English / Hoodman-era, to the present day, Children of Zeus have been omnipresent in the fabric of British black music. Proud ambassadors of Manchester music, and of UK soul, it really is “Zeus to the world”.

Children of Zeus have been adorned with plenty of flowers over their career. The unbridled quality and poignance of the music and the message on display throughout this project will see the algorithmic needle move some more. It’s undoubtedly set to be a Zeus Summer. As the world burns…

Available on all digital platforms and physical formats, Friday September 4th 2026.

The *La Hauteur De La Lune* LP by Oxmo Puccino is released on Believe and comes as a double LP. The album comprises 17 songs and is dedicated to the memory of his late parents. Long known for his dense storytelling, Oxmo Puccino is joined here by guests such as Vanessa Paradis (title track), MC Solaar (“Ne pas m’aimer”), Josman (“2cm à l’heure”), and Tuerie (“Magique”). The running time is about 44 minutes; many tracks stay under three minutes and rely on compact, incisive song structures.

The production credits include Pandrezz, Epektase, and Amar Belkacem, among others; they deliver arrangements that bring voice and lyrics to the forefront. Structurally, the album uses brief inserts like “Ouverture” and “Intermezzo” to shape and pace the flow between the shorter songs. On the *La Hauteur De La Lune* LP on Believe, Oxmo combines pointed punchlines with melodic moments and clear arrangements, giving individual tracks a striking presence. Singles such as “Plus loin que soi” accompanied the release. The record was issued by the Derrières les planches label in cooperation with Naïve and distributed by Believe; it expands Oxmo Puccino’s discography with a focused, narrative-driven chapter of hip-hop.

The “Killaz from the Blackside” LP by 2nd Family is released on Death Is Not The End and brings the tape, recorded in 1996, to vinyl for the first time, limited to 300 copies. The release comprises nine tracks and presents the sequence originally created for cassette in a re‑materialized LP format including digital download; the presentation emphasizes the documentary character of the recordings without any additional post-production.

The material was recorded in 1996 in a home studio at the Southern Hills Apartments in the Whitehaven neighborhood of South Memphis; King JC worked closely with MCs Pistol Grip and Killa Chrome. The recording was produced by Lil Carlos and King JC, with Jeff Cage as executive producer; all songs were written, arranged, and performed by 2nd Family. Musically, “Killaz from the Blackside” is characterized by a lean, dark production and an introspective atmosphere that clearly sets it apart from the prevalent, overdriven sound of the time. The title track “Killaz from the Blackside” and the collaboration “Playalistic” stand for the group’s sober, paranoid expression and underline the unique standing of this document within the mid‑90s scene. The LP casts light on an early, distinctive chapter from South Memphis.

Released on Heavenly, the “3CAG” 12" by Kneecap brings the trio back onto vinyl with a gritty, straight-ahead form of UK hip hop and delivers the band’s characteristic mix of Irish verbal dexterity and urban energy in uncompromising fashion. Kneecap deliberately draw on Irish imagery and English influences, keeping the tracks sharp and letting them ride melodically over driving beats; the release highlights the unpolished mixtape aesthetic of their early material.

Deep in the hazy attic of a house on Hawthorn Street, “3CAG” took shape in 2018, when two young guys from west Béal Feirste began translating their stories and images into sound. With the help of connections to the “Conamara Cartel” and a search for a new identity—after a man from Free Derry went on the run and the trio came together—a mixtape narrative emerged that plays with linguistic somersaults and uses the Irish language with an unusually knowledgeable touch.

The mixtape was mastered in Dublin by Ciarán Byrne, whose work renders the rough production edges compact and present; the band paid for the mastering session in an unconventional way, culminating in an anecdote about a hole dug in the yard. The final Irish sentence, “Bhris siad gach riail, seachas caol le caol.” – “They broke every rule – except they stuck to the rules of Irish spelling” – sums up their ironic self-positioning and underlines the rebellious tone of “3CAG.”

Originally released in 2004, A Grand Don’t Come for Free is the acclaimed second album by The Streets and one of the defining British records of the 2000s.

Written and produced by Mike Skinner, the album unfolds as a continuous story across 11 tracks, following the disappearance of £1,000 alongside nights out, relationships, friendship, jealousy and heartbreak. Skinner’s unmistakable conversational storytelling is paired with a distinctive mix of UK garage, hip-hop, electronic music and indie influences.

Featuring classics including “Fit But You Know It,” “Blinded by the Lights” and the UK No. 1 single “Dry Your Eyes,” the album reached No. 1 in the UK and remains a landmark of modern British music.

The "We Need Love Repress" 7-inch by The Blaxound & Roberto Sanchez is released on Gatzara and forges a clear link between classic soul and contemporary production. On the A-side you get a soul adaptation of the Johnny Osbourne tune, produced by The Blaxound and voiced by Roberto Sanchez; the arrangement and vocals focus on warm, organic textures and a melodic take on the original.

The A-side version is built around classic song structures, relies on tasteful instrumentation and a stripped-back groove that leaves plenty of room for the vocals. This approach highlights the melodic substance of the track while showcasing The Blaxound's keen ear for retro-oriented, soulful production.

The B-side takes a deliberately different approach: motifs from the A-side are reworked into a hip-hop arrangement that functions as a fresh reworking and features rap verses by Rel McCoy. Under the title "Love Alone Can Conquer," this version combines sample-based production with a laid-back flow, bringing soul and hip-hop together in a compact 7-inch format.

Bearing catalog number GTZR004, this Gatzara release adds a single to the label's catalog that both honors Johnny Osbourne's songwriting tradition and showcases the production range of The Blaxound and the vocal presence of Roberto Sanchez.

The Blue Crystal vinyl edition of the “Crystal Skull” LP by Ramson Badbonez and Illinformed was released on High Focus. The vinyl edition, limited to 300 copies, documents a new chapter for the North London veteran and comprises 14 brand-new tracks that put Ramson Badbonez’s concise perspectives and narrative sharpness front and center. Issued as an LP within the High Focus catalog, it sits firmly in the more recent phase of his body of work.

Musically, “Crystal Skull” is built on the close collaboration with producer Illinformed; production by the Leigh Brothers (Leaf Dog and Illinformed) shapes the sonic framework of the record. Lyrically, Badbonez remains blunt and observant, painting pictures of resistance and resilience in the face of a changing environment. Guests add targeted accents: Leaf Dog and Farma G contribute, Kakarot delivers a guest verse, and U.S. lyricist Mr Rozzi appears on “Spirit Science”; tracks such as “Blessing” featuring Leaf Dog and the introspective “Blue” also stand out. The combination of Ramson Badbonez’s dense lyricism and Illinformed’s distinctive beats makes “Crystal Skull” a focused release within the contemporary UK hip-hop scene on High Focus.

The Marble Vinyl Edition of the “Wizville Marbled Vinyl Edition” LP by Ocean Wisdom is released on High Focus and comes as a limited 2x12" marbled-vinyl pressing of 400 copies.

“Wizville” gathers the extensive selection of tracks by the British MC and earned Ocean Wisdom lasting attention beyond the strictly underground scene. The album originally dropped in 2018 and entered the UK charts; guest spots from heavyweights like Dizzee Rascal, Method Man, Roots Manuva, Rodney P, P Money, Jehst, and Chester P count among the record’s standout moments. The High Focus release showcases these collaborations once again within the cohesive structure of the album.

Sonically, “Wizville” blends fast, precisely delivered rhymes with a range of production styles: from hard-hitting beats crafted by Pete Cannon and driving grime and drum & bass productions through to more atmospheric, slightly jazzy backdrops. Ocean Wisdom’s trademark — the technically demanding, rapid-fire flow patterns and his versatile vocal tone — forms the common thread, making the record a documented step in his evolution as one of the most technically accomplished MCs on the British scene.

Here’s the summer 2k24 banger from Flexi Cuts. This time they’ve roped in Daniele Tomassini, aka Feel Fly, DJ and producer from Perugia who’s graced labels like Hell Yeah, Internasjonal, Bosconi, International Feel, New Interplanetary Melodies, and co-founded the Afro Templum party. “Sole” is a euphoric, powerful, liberating track that’ll blow your mind and get you moving. It's a little anthem, versatile and dance-worthy, with those beloved Italo-house vibes that Daniele (and us) are totally into. Flip it over for the “Tramonto Mix” on the B-side, which teleports you to ethereal Balearic atmospheres, be it mesmerizing sunsets over the sea or dawns at the end of a club night.

J Littles returns with “FOUND”, his third full-length release on Noel & Poland Records. This follows the raw intensity of his debut MASSA and his uncompromising sophomore FURTHERMORE.

FOUND marks both a personal shift and a creative evolution.

Rooted in a newfound sense of faith and purpose, FOUND sees Littles continuing to navigate identity, struggle, and redemption without losing the grit that defines his sound. Razor sharp lyricism is still front and centre — unfiltered, streetwise, and deeply introspective — but now layered with a sense of reflection and clarity that elevates his storytelling into new territory.

Produced entirely by label owner Kong The Artisan, whose soulfully textured, hard-hitting soundscapes provide the perfect backdrop for Littles’ balance of vulnerability and edge. FOUND also brings together a heavyweight lineup of collaborators, featuring Jah Digga, Skinnyman, Blak Twang, and Mindz Malverde, plus more, each adding their own depth to an already powerful body of work.

FOUND isn’t about leaving the past behind — it’s about confronting it, redefining it, and stepping forward with purpose.

The "Homeless N*Gga Pop Music" LP by Jim Legxacy is being released on XL.

The release translates the mixtape, which first appeared digitally in 2023, into a physical format and gathers a spectrum of Afrobeats, emo, drill, grime, glitch, and UK garage that establishes Legxacy as a distinctive stylistic force within the British scene. The tracks are characterized by stripped-back yet detail-obsessed production, where fragile melodies meet raw beats and vocals and lyrics take center stage.

Musically, the record is heavily shaped by the artist’s personal background: the title refers to a period of homelessness, and some of the songs were created in fairly makeshift circumstances. Jim Legxacy wrote and produced most of the tracks himself; the mixtape features standout singles such as "Eye Tell (!)", "DJ," and "Old Place," as well as striking sample references (including fragments from songs by Unknown T, Soul for Real, and Miley Cyrus) that are carefully woven into the arrangements. Critics and press have repeatedly highlighted the experimental blend of pop sensibility and gritty street aesthetics.

This year Natty Wylah has been cementing himself in London’s rich contemporary music scene with festival performances at Glastonbury, We Out Here with Silhouettes Project and a headline Southbank show as part of Nabihah Iqbal’s ‘Glory To Sound’ series. As well as contributions to Rhythm Sections, compilation ‘Shouts’ all in the run up to his next EP, Willowisp. Moth Wings / FB Trap is the perfect introduction to Natty’s world where magic, slime and reality all mix together. With his cinematic lyrics on MothWings, Natty conjures up the imagery of celestial moths, who when seeking the moonlight end up stuck chasing flickering artificial light bulbs. The track features the unmistakable characteristics of Natty’s sound: traipsing across hip-hop, the psychedelic and punk, all adorned with ethereal vocals and woozy synths from Poppy and Finn Billingham. Moth Wings/FB Trap are the first tracks available to listen to from his debut EP, Willowisp. Taking its name from a painting by Jamaican artist John Dunkley based on the myth of Will-’o-the-wisp, a ghost light seen by travelers over bogs and swamps at night that often led them to their demise. This world of light and dark is expressed by Natty throughout the EP, questing through the unknown forest in the dark, wet air and moss, in order to move past constraints and to find freedom.

The "The Invisible Soldiers" LP by Marc Mac is released on Omniverse and brings together a tight set of beat-oriented tracks, all produced by the artist himself. The release comprises 19 tracks in total and presents the compositions in a clearly album-oriented sequence that puts the focus on instrumental narratives.

Musically, the record moves in the space between beats and hip-hop, with clear nods to East Coast aesthetics; its driving forces are sample-based arrangements, punchy drum patterns, and a penchant for cinematic moments that give the album a soundtrack-like character. The tracks combine classic breakbeats with warm soul and jazz shadings, resulting in a laid-back yet rhythmically precise sonic palette.

Here, Marc Mac appears primarily as producer and arranger; his background in production and his many years of work (including in the orbit of 4hero) shape the meticulous handling of samples, the compositional focus, and the feel for textures. The production emphasizes depth and spatial detail without getting lost in effects.

The "The Invisible Soldiers" LP is aimed at listeners who appreciate instrumental beats, meticulous sample work, and finely tuned production; the release presents Marc Mac as a confident shaper of dense, beat-centered arrangements on his own Omniverse label.

The "It's Right To Be Civil" LP by Marc Mac is released on Omniverse and brings together predominantly instrumental compositions that are thematically linked to the Civil Rights Movement. All production is handled by Marc Mac; the arrangements are built on concise loops, warm fragments of soul and jazz, and documentary-style spoken-word and news excerpts that form the conceptual backbone of the release.

Musically, the album sits somewhere between beat‑driven hip‑hop and sample‑based retrospection: short, pointed tracks alternate with slightly more extended instrumental sketches, with the rhythms generally staying at a mid‑tempo pace and the melodic layers leaving space for precise rhythmic work and layering. The production relies less on bombastic effects than on carefully crafted textures that connect historical fragments with contemporary beat practices.

The record is part of a series of mixtape‑style releases curated by Omniverse and was released both on CD and as a limited vinyl pressing; represses in the series were consciously aimed at listeners interested in a musically considered approach to history. Overall, with "It's Right To Be Civil," Marc Mac presents a conceptual instrumental project that clearly ties together production, sample work, and thematic focus.

The "All Power To The People" LP by Marc Mac is released on Omniverse and presents the producer as a narrative force guiding a dense, instrumental program of ten tracks. Marc Mac is responsible here for both arrangement and production; the approach combines electronic soundscapes with organic grooves and makes deliberate use of Moog, ARP, and Solina textures that lend the tracks atmosphere and depth.

The sound is hard to pin down to a single genre: the compositions oscillate between electronic density, nu-jazz inflections, and a tangible ’70s fusion flair. Short formats and interludes structure the album and create transitions, while isolated groove moments point toward more danceable passages; the drums consistently define the rhythmic backbone. Special mention should be made of Luke Parkhouse’s contribution on drums, as well as the bass work by Pascal Strauss (aka Luman Child) on “Take Me To Your Sky” and “Afterglows.”

As part of Marc Mac’s ongoing project space at Omniverse, "All Power To The People" joins a series of conceptually connected releases and emphasizes compositional care and sonic variety. The release is clearly crafted in terms of workmanship and also came out as a 180 g pressing, which gives the record a tangible physical presence.

The "Generation-X" LP by Marc Mac is released on Omniverse and brings together a dense, mixtape-style set of beats, snippets of dialogue, and short instrumental pieces, all produced by Marc Mac himself. The release marks an addition to his series of “beats n knowledge” albums and presents 20 tracks that interweave narrative and political themes within a tight framework.

Musically, the record moves between heavy jazz and funk breaks, soulful sample work, and precise hip-hop grooves; vocal samples and socially critical motifs lend the flow a documentary edge. The arrangements rely on stripped-down, rhythmically dense beats, warm bass, and occasional melodic fragments, underscoring the narrative power of Marc Mac’s productions.

Omniverse pressed the release as a limited vinyl edition to mark the series’ tenth anniversary, making the LP stand out as the first vinyl format of the mixtape series. The compact running time and short tracks make the album a focused listening experience that appeals to fans of sample-based, politically charged beat art.

The "Message From Soulville" LP by Marc Mac is released on Omniverse and the vinyl edition has been pressed in a limited run of 300 copies.

The album brings together a series of short, mixtape-style pieces built on samples, boom-bap beats, and dense soul and jazz breaks. Marc Mac opts for a continuous, narrative flow: short intros, instrumental passages, and politically charged soundbites are woven into a thematically cohesive listening experience; the material spans more than twenty compact tracks such as "Soulville Intro," "Reason & Sanity," and "Afro Pride Soldier."

The production is handled entirely by Marc Mac; his approach bears the characteristic signature of the producer from the 4hero circle: a crate-digging aesthetic, warm layers of samples, and an affinity for classic boom-bap, shot through with jazzy harmonies and soulful motifs. The arrangements stay clear and focused, allowing the samples and narrative snippets to serve as the record’s atmospheric engine. With this release, Marc Mac picks up where his earlier mixtape projects left off, condensing political and musical references into a dense, matter-of-factly presented whole.

The “Entertainment System” LP by Manonmars is released on Young Echo and brings together 14 tracks, all produced by O$VMV$M. The record features guest appearances from Dali De Saint Paul, Franco Franco, Birthmark, Bogues, and Lorenzo Prati, and was mastered and cut by Lewis at Stardelta. The product comes in an elaborately designed sleeve with photography by Paulina Korobkiewicz and layout by Joshua Hughes-Games; the vinyl edition includes a download code and is pressed as a limited edition. Young Echo presents the release as a physical LP and a digital edition, with the pressing and high-quality sleeve highlighting the craftsmanship behind the release.

Musically, Manonmars takes a deliberately visual approach on “Entertainment System”: the album references movies, cartoons, and video games, weaving this world of images together with poetic, nostalgic lyrics and atmospheric beats. O$VMV$M’s production draws on elements of underground rap, drill, jazz, and acid-ambient passages, giving the arrangements a lighter and more agile feel compared to earlier releases. Sonically, field recordings and private voice notes run through the songs, anchoring the tracks in an urban London context; at the same time, the artwork reflects the visual practice of Jack Martyn Richardson, who, as Manonmars, also works as a painter and photographer. Through the interplay of lyrics, production, and design, Young Echo and Manonmars deliver a focused contribution to the contemporary UK hip hop scene.

Released on Reptilian, the 10" record "III" by Palmar de Troya brings together seven new tracks that transfer the band’s raw energy to the medium with precision. The tightly written compositions work with striking riffs and abrupt shifts in intensity, resulting in a focused, claustrophobic sound that still leaves room for clear melodic lines. The release was unveiled in April 2026 and comes as a limited edition on neon green vinyl.

Musically, Palmar de Troya operate in the space between noise rock and post-hardcore; influences from Sonic Youth, The Jesus Lizard, and Hot Snakes are as palpable as the echoes of more recent British post-punk outfits. The arrangements rely on a dense weave of distorted guitars, driving drums, and selectively deployed synthesizer textures, so that the tracks oscillate between direct, compact outbursts and longer, tension-driven passages.

The lineup — Lucia (vocals, keyboards), Will (bass), Salinas (guitar), Jose (drums), and Toto (guitar) — shapes the band’s characteristic sound; their respective work in projects such as Maine, Gentemayor, or Apartmentos Acapulco reflects the heterogeneous background noise that is compactly distilled on "III." Overall, the release documents a process of musical condensation in which Palmar de Troya sharpen their identity and probe genre boundaries with precision.

“… it felt like music from the corner, a corner where I once sat and studied the world as it passed me by…“

Fresh from the success of his debut solo LP ‘How To Kill A Butterfly’ out last year on High Focus Records, Farma G returns with the anticipated full-length follow up ’Nearly Nothing’s Enough’.

An album anchored in his notorious musical adventures as 1/2 of Task Force, Bury Crew and Mud Family, but very much informed by the state of 2026 Britain and beyond, Farma’s new body of work is fuelled by equal parts venom and deep introspection across 12-tracks courtesy of Brighton based producer Relense.

With one eye on following ‘How To Kill A Butterfly’ with something of equal standing, Farma revisited the fundamentals in the hope of better understanding what he really wants to say with the music he makes. By channelling feelings of familiarity and seeking out emotional connections to his past he created a record that feels both concise and expansive.

With the help of Relense’s gritty analog instrumentals, Farma found himself journeying across subjects and bandwidths; from exploring the mind of a conspiracy theorist on ‘X-Files’, to being a zen master with a mountain on his back on ‘Sun Wukong’, before returning to earth for a typical day in the life on ‘Mr Moany’, ‘Nearly Nothing’s Enough’ is an album that took Farma home and he is delighted to welcome you on the journey.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of 'Dirty Old Hip Hop', so we celebrate with a repress of what is now considered a stone cold classic. Originally released in 2006, this Worldwide Awards nominated album is a masterful collection of tunes from 4hero's Marc Mac. With musicians Somatik and Luke Parkhouse on board and rappers Voice and Capital A, Marc has re-imagined Hip-Hop breaks and beats and placed them into grooves that pay homage to the tunes from which those beats were originally sampled. A very post-modern approach has resulted in an album of timeless music which transcends eras and has the ability to sound as fresh as it does familiar. Moreover it works. - Bob Hill Remasted & Pressed on heavy weight double 12'' vinyl.

Shore connects is a collaborative album between Verbz Mr Slipz & Capriisun recorded in early February 2020. The album came about spontaneously during Caprii’s brief stay in the U.K. in which he connected with Verbz and Slipz to play a few shows in Brighton and London. During this period of roughly two weeks, the three of them decided to record an album between the gigs they had planned, which was later titled Shore Connects.

This album was created organically between these three and encompasses a diverse but cohesive sonic palette ranging from energetic boom-bap production reminiscent of golden era hip hop to more subdued lo-fi soundscapes.

Verbz and Caprii both shine in unison over Slipz’s production, displaying comfort and dexterity in their writing abilities with each verse. The album contains features from notable Yogocop members Benaddict and Nuphzed. As well as Conrad Mundy & Bador fellow London-based rappers.

Limited TO 150 Copies! 2 x 12" Black Vinyl w/ Gold Foil Embossed Cover, shrink wrapped.

‘Elevation’ is album eleven from High Focus Records founder and 1/4 of The Four Owls Fliptrix.

The latest instalment in a formidable run sees the lyricist further his vision of the world in the hope of elevating the collective mind and spirit of both artist and listener across 19-tracks.

Having worked with Forest DLG in some capacity across all of his records over the past fifteen years, from mixing and mastering, but also collaborating on multiple tracks as rapper / producer, it is surprising that it took so long for the pair to come together on a full-length collaborative project.

‘Elevation’ is that record.

Fliptrix reached out to Forest with a view to creating something completely different from his previous boom bap heavy outing ‘Dragonfly’, he is always looking to advance his craft and take things higher, and after Forest responded with a pack of 70+ instrumentals the direction of travel became crystal clear. The result is an album designed to lift the listener into a higher state of consciousness and trigger conversations about the state of the world, in the hope of enacting positive change during tumultuous times.

Fliptrix’s vision and Forest DLG’s style feel perfectly aligned. The album is truly collaborative; Forest going away and creating the artwork inspired by Fliptrix’s otherworldly experiences with the Shipibo tribe in the rainforests of Peru; from the single covers, to the album cover and merchandise as Fliptrix focussed on writing.

Having worked with all the greats in the UK hip hop scene, Fliptrix actively sought out new energies on ‘Elevation’, especially when it comes to the album features. Jungle forefather General Levy on lead single ‘energy! Energy! Energy!’ Grime legend Frisco on ‘Visionaries’, Ayah Marar on ‘Transform’, Da Flyy Hooligan, Kamakaze, Coops, and a 19-strong HF posse cut in the shape of ‘Dangerous’ make this album a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate.

Where It Started', but this time on Baby Blue!

Verbz & Mr Slipz have been jumping on the train (52m, 0 changes) between Croydon and Brighton to reconnect on ‘Where It Started’; a 10-track EP that does everything (and more) you have come to expect from the duo.

Shimmering with nostalgia, but with one eye firmly on the next motive, ‘Where It Started’ offers a front row seat to the trials and tribulations of Verbz & co. doing what they did (and still do) to thrive and survive on the streets of Croydon, expertly scored by the meditative swing of Slipz’ 100% sample-free production.

Think classic hip hop aesthetics, beautifully reincarnated; chunky MPC drums, deeply personal multi-syllables, tales of loss, heartache, learning the hard way but coming back stronger. 5 x vocals and 5 x Instrumentals, 'Where It Started’ is a 50/50 deep dive into the hearts and minds of Verbz & Mr Slipz; perfectly poised as a duo, the EP is an unmissable trip down memory lane.

Grand84 are a new collective comprised of producer 184, singer Breezy Lee, rappers Big Toast and the Strange Neighbour and guitarist Halo Jones.

The sample based beats and intricate lyricism on offer will certainly satisfy any hip hop purist. However with Breezy being the face of legendary Croydon Funk group Size 9, as well as featured vocalist for some of the most important names in Dubstep and Drum & Bass, and 184 and Halo's work on ambient pop project Button Eyes, the groups overall sound is hard to pin down.

Dystopian Trip Hop with a punk aesthetic, hints of south London bass music and powerful, soul-tinged vocals, Grand84 have created a sound which is both entirely new and reassuringly familiar. The debut album Dystopia Warning is released on Revorg Records on 13th March 2026.
