Strange U – Arm Leg
Always a good day when King Kashmere and Dr Zygote form into the Strange U megazord to drop bombs on the cosmos. New brain-melter ‘Arm Leg’ sees the duo on fine form. More raps from outer space incoming hopefully.

Starting to sound like a broken record singing TrueMendous‘ praises. Could use some adjectives to describe how dope this is or go into how its evidence that she’s going to continue to be surprisingly versatile… don’t really need to though. Just put it in your earholes on repeat and cop the LP when it drops.
This meteor of a tune from TrueMendous just landed. For a long time we’ve been fans of her distinctive style that has established her as a top tier lyricist but it’s nice to see that she can still surprise. Banger ‘Cause a Scene’ features the lyricist experimenting with a completely different vocal style and a previously unheard growl to her voice. According to TrueMendous herself, 2021 will see her putting out music that’s very ‘left’ of her previous material. So expect more of the unexpected!
Heavy instrumental by Winchester with guitar by Reuben Reynolds. Unique animated video by Kareem Al Saady.
Verbz & Mr Slipz adding another offering to the pile of pure fire they’ve been dropping en-route to their debut High Focus LP Radio Waves. ‘My Wonders’ features HF bossman Fliptrix along for the ride and some steezy dreamscapes in the video from Parallel Media. The album drops on Friday the 13th of November. Cop the pre-order HERE.
Added as a late addition to our new monthly playlist IYDK: The UK Hip Hop List. Hit follow for regularly updated fire!
New heat from Verbz & Mr Slipz lifted from their forthcoming album Radio Waves, released on the 13th of November 2020.
JESSSUUUUS! Superb new track from Verbz and Mr Slipz!! Quality control has never been a problem for the duo with nothing but heaters this year, but this change of gear to full-throttle boom bap banger is a good look. Watch out for more fire incoming on High Focus Records.
The tried and tested High Focus team-up, Verb T and Illinformed, are back it. Completely unsurprisingly ‘Rotten Luck’ is some high grade, mellow fire. No details yet on whether this could mean a follow up to 2015’s excellent The Man With The Foggy Eyes LP. Fingers and toes crossed that we get more from the duo soon.
Lyricism, cinematography and production collide to tell a story of dropping off the map in the latest Cult Deep Live Session delivered by fresh High Focus signee Verbz. Gradually unfolding from the softly-spoken “I’m getting tired of a lot, time’s that we got feel I’m fighting with the clock” to the head-spinning patterns that he is most recognisable for, Kiina fuses top-range samples with snappy kicks on the production that strikes the perfect balance between reverie and energy for Verbz to get personal over. Shot in a long, streetlit tunnel to reflect these tales of transience, ‘Telegram’ feels like one of their cultiest and deepest sessions yet- though, given the recent heatwave, a long dark tunnel doesn’t seem half bad right now.

Verbz & Mr Slipz keeping the heaters coming since their signing to High Focus. The combo of new age wave and old school Boom Bap on ‘For My Peeps’ is everything that’s dope about the Slipz brand of production and Verbz is on strong form with the verses and hooks. Stay peeled for the debut HF project.
The welcome return of Coops is here! New single ‘Laws of Nature’ produced by frequent collaborator Talos has the MC on fine form, in trademark territory, dropping steady head-nod flows over some 90s-esque Boom Bap. More incoming soon on High Focus.
