Sublime Manchester summer vibes link up between under-rated wordsmith KinKai and soulful hip hop titans Children of Zeus. Smooth grooves, hooks like only Tyler Daley can do and effortless understated flows to match.

September’s come around again but The Mouse Outfit are still bringing those summer vibrations with ‘Cut Em Loose’. Berry Blacc, KinKai and LayFullStop come smooth as anything with the vocal duties too.
We’re hyped to announce Outlook Festival as the second of our UKHH Summer Sickness recommendations! Renowned amongst festival goers for its unique heartbeat centred around sound system culture and all things bass, the four day event also has a long running history of cramming a tonne of UK hip hop talent onto its line-ups. Growing itself and its reputation steadily for over a decade, the combination of bass, Croatian sun, beaches, a giant abandoned fort and legendary boat parties, makes Outlook the obvious way to see off the summer with a bang!
To celebrate the Festival’s continued support of the UK hip hop scene and general reputation for sun-soaked insanity, UKHH will be hosting a bunch of related content leading up to and after Outlook. Expect features, interviews, line-up updates, exclusive on site bars and highlights of the event documented in HD.
No surprise that the line-up so far is already boasting an army of talent. UKHH ones to watch include Levelz and Friends, Ocean Wisdom, Children of Zeus, Peanut Butter Wolf, High Focus Records (Dirty Dike, Fliptrix, Jam Baxter, Coops, Ed Scissor, DJ Sammy B-Side, Molotov, Talos), Lady Leshurr, Nadia Rose, Kojey Radical, Melanin 9, Sonnyjim, Datkid, Pete Cannon, Gardna, Concept of Thought, Jman, LayFullStop, Free Wize Men and KinKai.
The carnage kicks off with an opening concert on the 5th of September followed by 4 days and nights of bass riddled goodness across 10 stages. For full line-up and tickets visit outlookfestival.com.
New release ‘Feeling High’ from The Mouse Outfit ahead of the release of new album Jagged Tooth Crook (May 4th) is serious vibes! Smooth vocal duties are provided by IAMDDB killing it on her second spot on a single for the outfit and groove laden bars from KinKai.
