Mnek (@MNEK) – Wrote A Song About You [Audio]

19 year old singer Mnek unleashes a new track Wrote A Song About You, which was premiered on Radio 1 by Annie Mac. The track a follow up to last single, Every Little Word, has a 90’s inspired R&B/House feel to it and I’m sure will do very well. I’m sure this will be on his forthcoming album too, which is said to be released later this year.

Yungen (@YungenPlayDirty) – 0 to 100 [Music Video]

Yungen jumps on the Boi-1da, Noah “40″ Shebib and Ninteen85 produced beat for Drake‘s 0-100. I’ve heard a few UK artists already spit over it such as Stormzy, but it’s not been overkilled yet by us. We can always count on Yungen though to jump on beats and freestyle over them and not ruin the tracks, he brings freshness and a different style to it.

MTV The Wrap Up: UK Rap Rundown [News] @Coopsofficial @Stormzy1 @LittleSimz @YoungMadB

 

Last week was all about the ‘one to watch’ rapper Coops who has turned a lot of heads with his new mixtape release ‘Lost Soul’ with rave reviews and a lot of positive talk about the North London artist. Coops along with producer Talos have built a sound reminiscent to the golden 90’s era of hip hop. His style is well balanced and hard hitting, neither too road nor too conscious. With an at times almost conversational flow and easy to relate to content, once paired with the classic hip hop feel of Talos’ productions the overall effect is very satisfying.

He also dropped a new video to one of the tracks ‘So Cold’ featuring Benny Banks and Sophie Faith on the vocals. Make sure you download ‘Lost Soul’ for free now!

Little Simz is also another artist here that has blown up in the past months and everyone is raving about. She is on fire right now, recently opening for Schoolboy Q in London along with various other shows and accolades. After releasing the audio to ‘Bars Simzon’, she treated us to the Simpsons themed video last week. Her skippy flow, coupled with passion and raw energy makes you admire her and want to hear more. Look out for her E.D.G.E EP coming June 16th.

The most consistent rapper in the game right now again released another cover freestyle…can you guess who I’m talking about. That’s right after dropping his net video two weeks back, Stormzy took to his hometown of Croydon to shoot the video covering Drake‘s 0-100 inviting anyone who wanted to, to go down. He has definitely caught the attention of a lot of people, and his fan base is evidently growing weekly. I think it’s time for a full length project now from him…

Young Mad B released a 5 track EP ‘The Practice’ a series of tracks all done recorded acoustically. Back in November last year a video was released of ‘Big Homie’ done as an acoustic version, and it’s great to see Young Mad B taking this route and showing some diversity. I personally love hearing rappers recording tracks with instruments and live bands.
