Kam-Bu Announces New Album Black on Black, Shares “Stuck”: Stream
South London rapper Kam-Bu has announced his debut album Black on Black. To herald the August 20th release date, he’s now shared the single “Stuck” featuring Rachel Chinouriri.

As Kam said in a statement about his new album, “It’s a thank you for the risk they took and the culture they brought, which we ...
