Grime Veteran Scorcher Taps Tion Wayne for New Drill Record “Ops”
North London-born rapper Scorcher is back with new music. Following the release of his latest album The Drama at the start of this year, the grime veteran has just dropped off some new visuals from the project for stand-out record “Ops,” featuring Tion Wayne. Jumping onto Joey Stickz’s hard-hitting drill production, both Scorcher and Tion Wayne come with punchy and straight-talking lyricism that explains that the duo only associate themselves with those who have their backs. While the production keeps up with the new-sounding Scorcher of recent times, both Scorcher and Wayne are given the space to breathe through the lightly-sprinkled 808s and synths, adding plenty of much-deserved replay value. The accompanying visuals, directed by Jay Money ta...

9-Year-Old Girl Masters Tool’s Complex 15-Minute Song “7empest” on Guitar: Watch
Tool’s complex 15-minute opus “7empest” is a difficult cover for anyone to attempt. Don’t tell that to 9-year-old guitar shredder Maya Neelakantan. In the YouTube clip, Neelakantan puts on a Nandi Bushell-esque display of talent as she expertly darts around the fretboard. Adam Jones wrote some deft guitar parts for the Fear Inoculum track, and it appears he has a worthy understudy in Neelakantan, if ever needed. She even emulates his wah pedal footwork. As she explains in the introduction to the video, Maya was inspired to play her “most favorite song” after receiving a brand new Gibson Les Paul guitar for her ninth birthday last month. Of note, Jones famously plays a Les Paul and even has his own line of signature models with Gibson. Advertisement Related Video “This is my most favorite s...

Rap Song of the Week: Eva B’s “Rozi” Is a Banger Without Borders
Rap Song of the Week is a Friday round-up of the hip-hop tracks you need to hear. Check out the full playlist here. Today, we highlight Pakastani rapper Eva B’s “Rozi,” which was featured in the premiere episode of Ms. Marvel. In music you can fake almost anything except urgency. Anger comes naturally, longing is as easy as yawning, but real urgency — a desperate need to get these thoughts out now — is so special it transcends language. “Rozi” may be rapped in Urdu, but its message resonates equally in English; a banger without borders. Eva B — not her real name — has been called Pakistan’s first female rapper, and the decision to keep her face and identity hidden has as much to do with safety as religious practice. “Lonely difficult times to cut alone,” she spits in a translation provided...
