Page updated: 11 September 2026
Featuring a wild trunk of beats and rhymes, the UK rap and Hip-hop scene continues to offer a wide range of buzzing music. We’ve rounded up the best new singles and albums coming our way, with everything you need to know.
Saint Ludo, Cap1talA – “808”
Cap1talA is my fast pick for a rising new rapper whose aura not only destroys the competition but facilitates an incredible delivery with zest and the capacity to take it all. Partnering up with Italian-born producer and DJ, Saint Ludo, the duo dropped an incredible new track titled “808,” filled with a banging composition and lyrics like “a G, silent like bolognese.”
Naviyah Drops Fiery Banger “Sippin On Dat”
Rising UK rapper Naviyah is one of the few hip-hop artists whose command of the pen can turn ears and heads, thanks to her effusive style. Her new single, “Sippin On Dat”, produced by New Jersey-based producer 1995 (Anthony Cruz), sees the rapper demonstrate an imperious and calculated volley of bars to fiery effect. The track was initially sent to Naviyah after Cruz reached out to her on SoundCloud, prompting her to immediately begin writing.
The Brixton-based spitter says the track was inspired by a major lifestyle change, giving up smoking and alcohol to her benefit. She says: “I actually wrote this track when I gave up smoking cigarettes, when I gave up smoking weed, and when I also gave up drinking alcohol. By realising, after being drunk numerous times, that there was something better and bigger for me out there in life than just getting drunk and getting high, I decided to make a positive turning point and change in my life.”
Hip-hop heads have compared Navi to rap legend Giggs, and that is something listeners will hear in both her style and execution. You can stream and follow Naviyah on all major streaming platforms now.

Ceebo ft. Blanco – Gets Like Dat
Rappers Ceebo and Blanco tap into a stylistic and chic delivery on Gets Like Dat, a boom-bap meets drill track chockful of hi-hats and jazz-infused melodies as the duo trade bars with an equally infectious layer of rhyme and hooks that feed into the energy of the track.

“Blow The Speaker” is the latest video from Fakemink’s new album The Boy Who Cried Terrified, and it unfortunately yields a monotonous, low-grade outcome.
