The electrifying new single features Brazilian superstar Anitta, with the pair sharing the intoxicating soundscape with stunning chemistry, and boasts one of the best videos of the year. It’s Halloween week—and Abel well knows it.

Revered US rapper Freddie Gibbs is as fearless as ever on the newly-released surprise album, You Only Die 1nce. The production is raw and gritty, smooth and intricate, whilst Gibbs does what Gibbs does; the slickest flows, domineering delivery, and most visceral, vivid and often hilarious lyricism. Coke rap at its finest.

Much revered South East London singer-songwriter Lola Young shares her latest offering “Charlie”, following her acclaimed June-released album This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway. The new cut has a psych edge, with US heavyweight Lil Yachty feeling a suitable feature for such given his own experiments in the sound. Young’s vocals are, as ever, utterly intoxicating.

Outstanding Seoul-based collective Balming Tiger are subtly reshaping the K-pop landscape, and continue to etch out their own sonic universe with a genre-defiant new EP, “Greatest Hits”.

Afrobeats pioneer Davido is back with “AWUKE”, the first glimpse into a fifth studio album, due next year. It’s a cross-continent collaboration with the Lagos legend and Bob Marley’s grandson YG, and is a celebratory, infectious single that traverses the singular and draws on collectivity.

Potent and poignant, “Surface Tension”, the new EP from former Wonderland cover star Annahstasia, is an opaque and selfless short form opus, a work that feels urgent yet tender. The standout, “Sunday”, is sparse and delicate, the rising singer-songwriter offering compelling lyricism and stunning vocal nuance. A must-listen this week.

UK rap’s pioneering duo Krept & Konan are set to share their third studio album, Young Kingz II, in February 2025, and raise anticipation to the rafters with a vibrant new release. “Smooth Lovin’” borrows the vocals of dancehall legend Popcaan, and is an anthemic and easy-going gem, with quotable bars and crisp cadence aplenty.

A raw house banger, “DR Pleasure” sees a meeting of two mavericks—Berlin’s Sally C and London’s Eliza Rose. The first single from a forthcoming joint EP under the same title, the new cut is an entrancing, raucous and authentic single that is sure to get your hips swinging.

The album is a rejuvenating masterclass in contemporary rap and continues to underline why the duo earn their place in the upper echelons of US and global cultural influence. 

Highly talented artist Sam Gellaitry continues to push generic boundaries and exploring his unique creatively with “Home”. Fresh from a support slot on KAYTRANADA’S North American leg, the new single is heartfelt and piercing, an unusual and endearing amalgamation of styles and emotions.

It’s a statement debut EP from meticulous and experiment collective Koteri. “Heaven Is A Lonely Place” is stunningly produced—funky, groovy, posturing—and is full of heart, charm and drama. An impressive inaugural body from the group.

Grammy nominated Blvk Hero has joined forces with producer Glassface for a dynamic new EP, “ACTIVE”. The standout cut is the closer, “MOTION”, a superb combination of Afro and electronic characteristics, with an energetic vocal performance from Blvk holding it together.

Spanish-born, South London-based Marti Perramon is picking up steam in the alt pop space, delivering a gorgeous new single “Gold Smile”. Soaring vocals that portray his choice of cadence with confidence and potency, the 19-year-old is growing with each passing release. Stick around for the beat switch on the track’s backend.

A mainstay in R&B’s global footprint, Col3trane continues to flex his high-calibre approach across “Crocodile Tears” featuring Atlanta star Chase Shakur. Backed by sleek, hazy harmonies dripping with atmosphere and intent, the 25-year-old artist commands the beat with sun-kissed vocals as syncopated drum breaks create a pocket for intimate reflections of fading love. The confusion, jealousy and wasted luxury illustrates a passion that gradually intensifies the deeper he pleads, before Shakur joins the fold with smooth undertones to elevate the duo past the complexities in their candid pursuit of real love. 

Emerging DnB producer Grandon has dropped a hard-hitting debut release, “Full Flight”. With cantankerous horns, snappy percussion and slick MCing, the track is—for want of a better phrase—pure filth, bringing in elements of Ragga and Jump-up to amount a monstrous sonic presence.

South London DJ, producer and vocalist ILIKERiCO delivers his brand-new UKG heater “Bells”. Fusing mellow, dystopian soundwaves alongside layers of house and glitchy 2-step, the atmospheric instrumental lays groundwork for ILIKERiCO to flex his smooth, hazy vocals with typical finesse. It’s a culture clash of sound, distilling raw energy as the rising talent taps into his ambition for growth and development beyond music. Backed with an electric DIY music video journeying through day and night, the vibrant yet nocturnal sonics on “Bells” will continue to mark him as a serious prospect in UK sound culture.
