Lingo

When three young gunners hop in the booth, fire always ensues. West London’s very own Jevon capped off an outstanding 2018 with a rejuvenating single entitled, “Blossomed/Mercy,” which celebrates a fresh start in his promising music career. With a polished slate, the 24-year-old polymath kicked off the new year in high gear with a banger, assisted by UK-based Nigerian spitter Kida Kudz and Diggy.

“Lingo,” produced by Jevon himself, showcases how three distinct flows can co-exist in one scorching, afrobeat-influenced track. “The idea of the song came from us teaching each other our ways of saying stuff—each other's lingo—as we're all from different places: Diggy from NYC; Kida from Lagos; and me, from London. Three artists from different backgrounds and continents working collectively on a vision,” says Jevon to Complex.

Fittingly, Lingo’s accompanying visual was shot in London and The Big Apple. Check it out below:

Move Me

I thank God everyday for giving me the strength to maintain my platform.  It’s been a long road, as many of my loyal supporters know, but I’m still here pumping out original inspirational work.  When the dust settles, people only remember you for how you made them feel, so it’s truly my duty to leave a lasting impression on those who’ve met me in person or stumbled across my site.

Speaking of moving content, allow me to present a banging tune, aptly titled “Move Me,” from one of my favorite producers in the game Mura Masa.  The genre-bending song, featuring fast rising British rap star Octavian, was released back in 2017 and I still can’t get it out of my mind.  One of the greatest perks of having your own website is that you can post whatever you want—even when they’re slightly dated. (Then again, impeccable creations are timeless.)

Man Don't Dance

"We can vibe, but man don't dance!"  British Comedian/Rapper Big Shaq has returned to the air waves just in time to provide a new summer banger, ironically titled "Man Don't Dance."

Shaq, who in reality is English funnyman Michael Dapaah, is now a bonafide music star due to his surprising, breakout mega-hit "Mans Not Hot." He hopes to hit the ball out the park with this new jam, and I honestly feel that he might do so.  Big Shaq's latest track features a similar flow to the aformentioned single, but with more potent lyrics and a plethora of jokes.

More Life

What can I say? Drake has yet again smashed it with his new album More Life. Unlike Drizzy's previous sonic offerings, this one is heavily influenced by his trips across the pond with features from English Grime artists, such as the highly regarded Skepta and the Godfather of the genre himself Giggs.

Looking at the project's title, the '6 God' could be declaring his love for the UK. Even on his Boy Meets World Tour he still is able to produce an album of this calibre, which really is a credit to how hard he works and how important it is for him to keep the fans happy.

This album proves that Aubrey's career is far from ending and truly shows he is ready to set the benchmark for any rapper who wants to challenge him. Additionally, the project clearly served as his platform to showcase noteworthy talent from England.

More Life is an all-round incredible album and definitely worth keeping on repeat, as you will immensely appreciate the quality of the chunes after each listen.
