East Londoner Murkage Dave returns with two singles, “Violence In Me” featuring Jaykae and “Never Sing Olly Olly Olly Again”.
Accompanying the new music is the welcome news that he’s releasing a sequel to his acclaimed 2022 album The City Needs A Hero with the incoming The City Needs… Part Deux dropping on 2nd November.
On “Violence In Me”, Murkage Dave laments over a church organ, wrestling with both himself and the complicated relationship he has with religion, before giving way to a heart-wrenchingly confessional rap verse from Birmingham icon Jaykae over tough rolling 808 drums.
“Never Sing Olly Olly Olly Again” sees him celebrate a breakthrough in self-confidence, looking back on his youth and rave scene roots as a time defined by a lack of self-belief.
