Is there a major label that actually understand UK hip hop culture? I've seen a couple commodify a hot rapper but can they ever support the culture in a way that builds it?

Fuck the algorithm, feed your soul. Beatless moments into Amapiano, DnB, jazz-hop, gospel chords. Every move a different spirit. Every track a different truth.

Each song is like a cinematic lens and some give that feeling of hyperreal, hopefully some have the sheen of dreams too..

People ask me if all the stories are true because I write with detail. Some are true, some are both fictional and true. Symbolic and real. I'm making a modern mythology in the middle of this city..

Sometimes I record and write barefoot and I swear the music comes out differently as a result. Like it's got barefoot dreams and heartbreak on every rooftop heartbreaks. It’s messy.

“Let’s dream of equality, no more poverty…” There’s no fantasy more radical than a truly better world. This isn’t escapism. This is step one for many of us. The people ruining the planet have got their shit together. Those who will fix it are often processing the pain.

Some of us have seen hell and still dance. Been ghosts in the system but found rhythm in the silence. Some of us dream brighter and louder than trauma. This album is for us.

Big up Micall Parknsun on this track. “Made something out of nothing in the place of pain.” That line is Black British truth. That line is ancestral resilience. That line is why we’re still here. Still creating. Still shining. Still vibing in this Synchronicity.

This music is for those trying to keep joy alive while the world goes nuts. Hold sunshine inside, even when the sky is grey and depressing. I dedicate this to everyone that had to struggle in style.

This shit is still ancestral. Music holds all the stories we carry in our blood. This album is jazz and concrete. Africa’s sun echoes through the cities of Europe. The diaspora dreams through sounds that ground us.

Music is synchronicity! When your memories, your mood, and the movement of the world align. It’s magic. It’s medicine.

Does lyricism still matter in 2025 UK hip hop? I hear some people and they are lyrical but in a way that is so done to death it isn't impressive. Am I right?

Is UK hip hop too focused on realness, not enough on experimentation? Do we need more mad shit to blow?
