Knxwledge - Gladwemet

Knxwledge follows the 2017 MEEK EP and a notable rework of Anderson .Paak’s Yes Lawd! with the six-track Gladwemet EP. Traffic is the lone feature on the lead single “Relapse.” If Knxwledge’s slow jam inspired signature is your twist, this laid-back tape is for you.

Rawkid - Grum Vol.1

Sheffield representative and rising grime spitter Rawkid shines on his debut project Grum Vol. 1. He lends a punchline heavy flow and palpable intensity to the mix for a total of 10 tracks that channel trap, grime, and true school hip-hop.

Skizzy Mars - Are You OK?

Uptown Harlem spitter Skizzy Mars follows his debut Alone Together with the Are You OK? EP. The project is a small bite at five tracks, but bubbly production and emotionally dense writing make up for the brevity. Skizzy’s charisma is the ingredient that brings it full circle.

Math-Mic - Nuggets Beats

Oslo producer Math-Mic serves up “a bunch of nuggets” with the fourteen track instrumental tape entitled Nuggets Beats. Clocking in below the 4-minute mark, each beat is a small bite that boasts soulful chords and samples.
