Stanisland’s curated UK rap archive for August 2026, bringing together 16 releases from the UK Rap Guide.
Cristale – “Quantum Loop”
“No cigarette, I want all the smoke.” Cristale releases fresh music from the studio with a video to match. Her latest track, “Quantum Loop”, sees the rapper lick off shots while maintaining her stylistic identity, driving her car through the back roads of the English countryside as she contemplates the game and where she sits within it.

Montener the Menace enlists the talents of Farma G, Micall Parknsun, Verb T and Blade on his new posse-cut track “Lost and Found”, taken from his forthcoming album, Mercurial. The track is a whopping 6 minutes 56 seconds, with a dramatic production as some of the UK’s most prolific rappers take centre stage to pound the beat with an impeccable queue of verses.
Datkid – Smoked Out (Official Video) (Prod. Illinformed & Dumb Logic)
Datkid drops a new music video for “Smoked Out”, a classic boom-bap track produced by Illinformed & Dumb Logic and released through High Focus Records. The UK rapper tackles the beat with his usual bravado and intricate rhyming patterns, a style that complements his satirical similes and wordplay.
Pozer – “Cali Breeze” (Freestyle)
Central Cee x Coca-Cola’s Latest Track Is Average at Best
Central Cee’s style remains stale but is offered hope from Coca-Cola, who will likely not be impressed.
FADZ1 – “Keep It Running”
FADZ1’s glides over a statement piece produced by yomichael, constructed around pining
guitar plucks and cushiony snare snaps. The rapper carries his message
for nearly four minutes, schooling up-and-coming emcees, who largely opt for one-minute tracks in what it takes, one what it takes to achieve your dreams.
Feng – Fake Friends
Lee Scott & Black Josh – “It Made Sense At The Time”
Lee Scott and Black Josh are frequent collaborators and it shows. Their chemistry overrides attention to be paid elsewhere, and this deviation brings us to their explosive brand of rap. Their new album, It Made Sense At The Time, is a 13-track long album featuring appearances from Rob Spragg, B-Movie Millionaires, and Sly Moon, and King Grubb. This is the album you’ve been waiting for this month — a boom-bap festival of sumptuous detonating lyrical eargasms.
Nemzzz – “4 AM”
Nemzzz returns with new track “4 AM“. The rapper’s delivery suits the production style, and he can definitely hold it down. It’s a dramatic, overpowering composition filled with a foreboding consistency. Let’s give credit to the producers, FNZ and Zel, because it’s difficult to find their names anywhere else. The track is taken from his forthcoming album, LOCKED IN.
Sonnyjim & Sebb Bash – “Isle Of Dogs”
Sonnyjim is up to his usual antics again, rapping about weed but this time he parallel parks alongside Sebb Bash, a producer from round the way whose reputation precedes him. There’s a lot to love about this track, but the one begrudging factor is that it’s only a mere 1:31.
Ramson Badbonez x Illinformed – “One to Ten”
M.U.L.A. – “Rise & Grind”
Kenzo Str8Drop Unleashes Powerful New Track “Who Needs Enemies?”
Kenzo STR8 Drop reminds us whose game it is on “Who Needs Enemies?”, the latest track from his upcoming album.
