2016 - 2017 has been a Monumental Run for UK Music

[StretfordRed]

It really just dawned on me when I was out in Brixton last week and the majority of music was from UK artists. UK artists have provided nothing but bangers for a few years now; and of course have inspired the biggest American rapper: Drake

I'm 32 and never heard or see this wave of talent in my whole life. IMO it'll be defined as our Golden Era

A few samples of tracks are as follows - I can't even remember them all. UK man, feel free to add on and celebrate our bredrins

US brehs feast on something different from the other side of the Atlantic. I feel we've stopped looking for verification from the US gate keepers and now are making our own lane with some of the tracks, especially with the UK Afrobeat tracks

AJ Tracey x Dave Santan - Thiago Silva


Dave Santan x Drake - Wanna Know Remix


Dave x J MoStack - No Words


Krept & Konan - Wo Wo Wooooooo


67 x Giggs - Let's Lurk


Nines - Trapper of the Year


Giggs x Donaeo - Lock Doh


Giggs - Whippin Excursion


Stormy - Big for Your Boots


Kojo Funds x Fredo x Yxg Bane x Frisco x JME - Dun Talking

Hope the trend continues in 2018

New Uk acts doing world tours. Pre 2015 the sccene was on it's ass for a while but now we're flourishing

That 'Lock Doh' track is straight garbage in every single possible way.

Tbh it's uk afrobeat ,and dance-hall blowing up more than grime, and hip hop. Obviously in the UK there's a fine line, and all influence each other but still.
