It was originally going to be called ‘The Zircon Thing’ but me and Lee were talking about an old film called ‘Godzilla Vs Destroyer, Godzilla Wins’ and it somehow ended up as what it is…

No, that isn’t a quote describing an upcoming blockbuster movie. Sam Zircon was just explaining how the title for his latest project, Attack Of The 50,000ft SWEG LAWDS From Outer Space with Lee Scott & Black Josh came to be.

Remember real rap? Remember loud drums? Syntax and Cannon reminisce over bouncy beats and delivery.

This Friday saw the release of the long-awaited first collaborative album from Verb T and Pitch 92, and here at Wordplay, we are pretty darn excited about it. 

Good Evening perfectly captures both artists musical personas, with former Mouse Outfit producer Pitch 92 on production and MC Verb T spitting verses. 

Providing their momentum doesn’t slow up and they keep creating; Summers Sons & Charlie Tappin have potential to make huge waves over the coming year.

Hailing from Burnham-On-Sea, a sleepy South West town that is frequented by coach loads of OAPs visiting from the midlands, BigSmokin'Joe is not necessarily in the place that you would expect for an enigmatic and seriously driven MC and producer...

Prepare for real rap genius, underpinned by pure boom-bap and classical instrumentation.

It's been a busy 2018 for Jammz and we're only two weeks deep. Fresh off the back of linking up with PJam for style, he's enlisted Coco, Mic Ty, Blay Vision, Lioness & Tempa to jump on the remix of his Shemzy produced banger Oh Please. Turn this up!

What’s good people! We’re back again with another edition of 10 questions but this time around, we’ve linked up with Deezer to shine the light on some of the stars of their current Urban Programme. Kicking things off is Mr Fizzy Flow himself, Scrufizzer.

There’s not a particularly large group of artists whose letter style is globally recognised. Commissioned and admired by the rich and famous, rejuvenator of the the concrete jungle; Nev caught up with Ben Eine following the unveiling of his recent collaboration of epic proportions with Zippo in London.

High Focus Records is proud to present 'Laminated Cakes' - A brand new LP from Jam Baxter & Ed Scissor, produced in its entirety by the formidable GhostTown. Shaped over the last five years and with features from Chester P & Dirty Dike, this flash release does not disappoint.

Caleborate proving why he's one of our artists to watch this year! God Damn!

More seriously underrated music from TommyBoy Records!

It is a surprisingly cold Friday afternoon in September, and I am sitting in a high ceilinged, fairly small venue called Archspace in Haggerston. Bar staff make coffee whilst equipment is set up at the other end of the room. It feels a little bit awkward. I sit waiting, wondering how this evening will unfold. Then a few moments later the speakers crank into life, blasting the unmistakeable sound of that bassline… “Witness the Fitness” blares out into the space, loud and unforgiving and charming.

The visuals for That Much are too much!
