This release is especially meaningful to us, as we dedicate it to UK Hip Hop legend Ty, who tragically passed away in 2020. It’s one of the last songs he ever recorded and we put it out with mixed emotions. On the one hand we're immensely proud of the release, while on the other we do so with a heavy heart, as we should have been sharing this together ♥

He lived for music and the culture of hip hop and this song is the very definition of that, so we want to spread that message far and wide in his memory.
With Neo Soul singer David Sladek, we pay homage to the Brixton Rapper, who’s lyrics in this song now feel ever more poignant.
“78 to maybe 45 / 33 RPMs and I’m immortalised / holy ghost / I think I caught the vibe / love this hip hop thing / that’s why I’m fortified” - Ty
Help us continue Ty’s legacy by sharing to your music loving friends!
Rest in Peace, Ben ‘Ty’ Chijioke. Gone, but never forgotten.
