Basheba returns with future R&B track 'Come Back To Me' After experimenting in the studio with hotly tipped producer XVR BLCK Basheba returns with new material. Known for combining break beat and jungle rhythms in previous work, 'Come Back To Me' marks an evolution in sound for the young artist. Her honest lyricism and soulful vocal delivery stands out on the new track, as it always does in her music. As she explained, "The basis of the song is trust and honesty. I wanted to pay homage to 90's R&B using those swooping melodies in the chorus and sombre yet sweet production that sets the scene for the story." Previous track 'Don't Go' accumulated over 100K views on YouTube in its first 2 months after dropping in April this year and garnered support across tastemaker and underground platforms online and on radio. As well as featuring as one of MOBO's Unsung Top 10, Basheba has also already supported Etta Bond live. It's strictly fast-paced flow on Isaiah Dreads' new 'Victory' freestyle. South London grime star Sneakbo has released the video to his new single featuring Nyla called 'Too Cool (Right Here)' Only 18 years old, Isaiah Dreads has eloquent bars and intricate flows that are far beyond his years, as shown by his storming set at this year's The Great Escape Festival. The young West Country rapper has fed in to the shifting culture of the UK underground scene by taking his career into his own hands - pitching himself to the organisers of Glastonbury on the basis he was a local talent. The punt paid off as he was awarded a slot on the world-famous festival at the age of just 15 and this year he made his return, performing on the Blues stage. He turned heads with his previous mixtape, aptly named Nothin' But A Mixtape, and his Fire In The Booth for Charlie Sloth, he's dropped the video for his new freestyle 'Victory' - simple visuals that let the fire lyrics stand out. South London grime star Sneakbo has released the video to his new single featuring Nyla called 'Too Cool (Right Here)' Being produced by iLL BLU, 'Too Cool' is the major debut label release from Sneakbo who has just recently signed a deal with Since '93/ Virgin EMI. The dope track takes its style from a classic dancehall riddim called Bookshelf, which other artists such as Sean Paul and Beenie Man have used before. Sneakbo says about his new track, "What I love about this track is that it's got a good vibe and instantly makes me wanna dance. I used to play this old-school bashment hit when I was younger."
