“Tile Hill is where I rep…”
Yes this kid is from my birth town of Coventry. He’s not bad, this is a decent first effort for a mixtape by such a young artist but hopefully he’ll improve as he continues to work on his craft on future music. I mostly posted this though because track 4, “Faith” features my cousin, Mya May Graham and, no bias on this, she sounds great!
Hour 2 kicks off with Joe Kay, co-founder of Soulection, the LA based record label and radio show. He’s currently at SXSW showcasing the Soulection label alongside Esta and Mr Carmack who feature in the mix, plus there’s a host of recent selections with the same energy, progressive bass and a similar soulful DNA from Losco, LTGL, Samuel Truth and Goldlink, plus his own edits for J Dilla and Rainy Milo.
DK drops in to wind up the show with new music from BadBadNotGood, future guest Mo Kolours, Teebs on Brainfeeder and ‘Render Me’ from the new Mr Scruff album.
