Timmy Turn Up holds nothing back, and you recognise his voice, his image, and the intensity of his music, having made your way through just a couple of his tracks. One to watch this year.

Four brand new originals from artist and rapper TeeBully emerge this season, each one melodically pure and organic in set-up – refreshing from the outset, and driving with a clear sense of reflective heart and soul.
Singer and artist Nika Starr joins forces with DJ Rchagas for this exotically infused and emotive new single.
Slowing things down to a seductively mellow pace, Cozyboy takes his time to express loving sentiments throughout this contemporary pop-meets-smooth-RnB production.
The ever-immersive groove making skills of Blue Soul Ten pour through once again with this finely crafted new hip hop fusion project The Incredible Sound Of Blue.
Idarose returns this season with a gorgeously ambient, immersive dance-pop single of deeply emotive origins.
Dreamlike ambiance and contemporary rhythms unite for this bounce of a groove and vocally meandering RnB single from Baha.
An easily addictive new track, with talent at its core but professionalism and clever, likable song-writing alongside of this. Getting the chemistry just right in contemporary hip hop and trap.
Spoken-word-style freely meandering hip hop along the vein of a recently viral Hobo Johnson pours through, alongside emotively dreamy music, as Speedtart kicks off this uniquely unsettled outpouring.
“I definitely think live performances are important. I think that’s the biggest thing I need right now for exposure – I don’t have an ideal spot but any place with a crowd and a mic I’m ready to bless any stage fasho.”
Bringing together familiar melodic loops, lightness and space, with boldly raspy, recognisable vocals, and raps that seek to inspire a sense of hope and possibility in times of turmoil – poet and songwriter Angelic Relic lives up to the implications of his name.
It’s a summer-ready anthem, laid-back when it needs to be, energizing elsewhere. The professionalism of the production allows the track to hit with passion and smooth confidence alike.
