PODCAST: The Influenced panel discuss their favourite current UK artists

We have liftoff!

Episode One finds me joined by my good friends Mark and Lee to discuss:

MC Nadia Rose and the risk of talented artists not getting the 'push' or attention they deserve during a musical golden age.

Band Chinatown Slalom and the UK music scenes' history of mixing indie, hip hop and electronic dance music.

Singer Greentea Peng and how 'trip hop', decades after the genre was first labeled as such, continues to quietly and satisfyingly make its prescence felt in contemporary UK music.

REVIEW: Grimm Lynn's "Body-EP" Is Three Tracks Of Excellence

In episode 25 of our podcast Lee “The Newbeatmaker” and I discussed the year in review 2020 and the projects that we loved.

The energy, outlook and diversity of Planet Giza all make me refer to these acts, but I also hear the OVO influences that have put Canadian urban music on the map as well as the conscious and new gen delivery I associate with someone like Kid Cudi. “The crew is able t
