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 London-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 her 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.

Now this is cold. BRYN, a newcomer on the scene, has exploded onto the scene, as if from nowhere. But she’s been here for a long time, and that doesn’t appear to be changing. Her latest single, “Vicious Circle” is an acoustic-led machine of a track that touches on the many facets of a lived experience. This is exactly what the hip-hop community needed right now.

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.
