Kamakaze, Massappeals – Last Night Feat. Morgan Munroe
This banger comes from long time collaborators Kamakaze and Massappeals; new second EP. “Last Night” is a mellow party track that sees Kamakaze spitting, Massappeals on the production and a sweet sounding set of vocals from Morgan Munroe.

“He’s working in a lane of his own with elements of grime, road rap and trap in his work to come produce something different. This track has slick production and his signature flow. It has a real fun and bounce to it. We can see that Izzie Gibbs is ready for 2019” – Natalie Malcom (Writer) (@natalie_malcom)
Slowthai, Muramasa – Doorman
“Doorman” sees Slowthai and Mura Masa link up to give us something different. With a real British punk vibe, both parties flex their versality with this track. The visuals are tell the tale of a fast-paced senseless day with the song perfectly aligned to build up for a hype hook.
“When Slowthai drops a track you always anticipate what the videos going to be like, and “Doorman” did not disappoint. The Northampton rapper brings a dark and trippy feel to make the track come alive!” – Essence Madziwa (Writer) (@_essencex)
Curren$y, Trademark Da Skydiver & Young Roddy – Plan of Attack
Curren$y, Trademark Da Skydiver & Young Roddy of Jet Life Crew reunite for a laid-back banger.

With a slower beat that intertwines whimsical piano tones, this tune is a taste of what Jet Life crews upcoming project has to offer.

Loski – Boasy
The first single off his upcoming mixtape Mad Move is Loski’s “Boasy”. The Harlem rapper kicks off the tune with a fire flow and shells throughout. With a beat that strays from typical drill, this one is eerie and hits hard for a catchy hook. Getting nostalgic on the bridge, “Boasy” combines several different elements and the video is icy in regular Loski fashion.
“You know the first time you hear a set of bars and you’re squinting your eyes and shaking your head throughout, this is one of those tunes. Loski came different on this one. – Shante Collier McDermott (Writer) (@shancolls)
