Today, Killer Mike dropped the music video for his new single “Talk’n That Sh*t!.” With a runtime of just under three minutes, the music video exalts the rapper’s hometown of Atlanta, Georgia as it cycles between shots of custom cars, bikers, park cookouts, the strip club, hair salons and more.

Emerging U.K. Artist BERWYN Is on a “Path to Satisfaction” for His Latest Rap-Soul Record
Trinidad-born and Romford-raised rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer, BERWYN, has had a busy couple of years. Since his 2020-released project DEMOTAPE/VEGA, the musician has gone on to grab a top-three spot in the BBC’s Sound Of poll, while also grabbing a Mercury Prize shortlist and an NME Award. And while the artist is constantly seeking musical inspiration from his relationship with Trinidad — listen to records such as “Money Comes and Money Goes” for proof of that — and his struggles with visa issues that have shadowed him since the age of nine, BERWYN has now gone back home for his introspective new single, “Path to Satisfaction.” Performing over a lightly-gliding guitar chord instrumental, BERWYN reminisces on traditional smoked herring, the sound of Trinidad’s lo...
