Welcome back to #GRMFreshestOut, the one and only place you need to check in each week for the best and most diverse list of UK and US releases. In this edition our guy Griff is rounding up the best tunes from our homegrown talent, so if you need to know who’s next up with the biggest tracks in the country, check in and check out #GRMFreshestOut.
The Stray Doggz ft. Stormzy & Wretch 32 – Skank Out
Elusive production duo Stray Doggz have seemingly appeared out of nowhere, and for their first magic trick the pair have enlisted Stormzy and Wretch 32 for the trap-infused debut banger. Although the two MC’s have differing styles, their back and forth bars compliment each other hugely, with Stormz’ aggression and Wretch’s wordplay showcasing the real talent we have in the UK.
Milli Major ft Prez T & Paper Pabs – Shut Down The Dance
Milli Major, a member of the legendary North London crew Bloodline is prepping the release of his new EP ‘Bloods Thicker Than Water’, which features a slew of A-list guests, from Chip, Scrufizzer, True Tiger and loads more. He gets the hype going by releasing this ridiculously grimey banger, which is bound to shut down a dance near you soon.
Renz – You Know
“You Know” already that us at GRM Daily are loving what the #NewGen movement is offering us at the moment and this new track from Renz is no different. Although just a fortnight ago he released his ‘Pure’ EP for free, he’s blessed us with another free track, which has his now-typical sing-songy barely-rapped bars over some emotive production.
Hudson Mohawke – Ryderz
G.O.O.D. Music beatmaker Hudson Mohawke, hailing from Scotland, has got some tricks up his sleeve as the release of his new album ‘Lantern’ draws ever closer. Take for instance his new track “Ryderz” an instrumental that will have you feeling at the top of the world with it’s mo-town sample. MC’s, step up and bring your A game if you want to get on this beat!
TE dness ft. Big 6ix & Stormzy – No Title
Today we premiered NW London rapper TE dness’ epic anniversary sequel to his 2014 ‘April Showers’ mixtape. Aptly titled ‘April Showers 2’, the project went on sale with the option to stream from Tuesday 21st. If you have managed to purchase the mixtape you will see there are plenty of notable tracks on there (“Arr Yeah” will definitely enter the #GRMFreshestOut next week). Thankfully TE did give us a small surprise – the stream of his collaboration with Stormzy and 6ix entitled “No Title”. The trifecta or rappers go back to back in this sick collaboration.
