Koncept releases his new studio album "Flight"

After years of touring, creating a universal brand, and building an undeniable presence across film and television, Koncept returns with  — Flight —  a fully self-produced album that captures his evolution as both an artist and a storyteller.

Having landed sync placements across nearly every major network and platform — including Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, CBS, Paramount Plus, ABC, NBC, Peacock, and more — Koncept enters this new chapter with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Flight is the sound of an artist who has earned his wings.

Rooted in his upbringing and shaped by years of growth, change, and persistence, Flight is a deeply personal body of work that traces the journey from where Koncept started (in Queens, NY) to where he’s at and still headed. Each track reflects a different phase of that ascent — the setbacks, the self-belief, the hunger, and the evolution that comes with staying true to your vision.

The album is anchored by its first three singles — “The Greatest Bounce Back”  featuring Ty Taylor, “Put It On,” and “Under They Skin” — which together introduce the project’s core themes: resilience, confidence, and unapologetic authenticity. From triumphant anthems to sharper, more assertive moments, the singles serve as chapters in a larger narrative that unfolds into the soul across the album.

“Put It On” was just featured in an NFL commercial on CBS Sports and Paramount Plus.

Produced entirely by Koncept, Flight showcases a refined sonic identity that balances emotion, energy, and intention. It’s a cohesive statement from an artist in full control of his craft — not chasing trends, but elevating sound with every release.

Flight isn’t just an album title — it’s a declaration. A reflection of the journey, the growth, and the moment when preparation meets opportunity.

Brooklyn artist and lyricist Westbay drops new project "O.L.D." in line with his 40th Birthday!

Westbay is a Brooklyn-born artist known for crafting positive, heartfelt underdog anthems with music rooted in gratitude, grit, and a genuine passion for life. His debut project, Spread Love (2014), quickly became a cult favorite for its uplifting spirit, and a decade later he honored its legacy with Spread More Love, closing the chapter on that formative era.

Life moved forward — marriage, fatherhood, career, responsibility, and while the music never left him, it hung out quietly in the background, waiting for the right moment to pounce! That moment arrived unexpectedly one night, when Westbay woke with a crystal-clear vision: “Drop the O.L.D. album on your 40th birthday.” Not as a nostalgic throwback, but as a milestone marking who he was, who he is, and who he’s becoming.

OLD (One Lucky Dude) is his most honest and personal work to date, anchored in themes of family, fatherhood, growth, modern pressures, memory, and the daily balancing act of being a husband, a dad, and still an artist. It’s reflective, raw, funny at times, and always real, a tribute to the younger dreamer he once was and the grounded, grateful man he is now, stepping into his forties with clarity and purpose.

Ultimately, OLD isn’t about age, it’s about perspective. It’s about surviving, learning, loving, evolving, and continuing to show up. Because at the end of the day, Westbay is, and always has been...One Lucky Dude.

Proudly presenting the brand new studio album "Nostalgia ThEraPy 2" by Truth, alongside new video "Want It Back"

Queens emcee Truth reunites with the legendary production duo Da Beatminerz (DJ Evil Dee & Mr. Walt) for Nostalgia ThEraPy 2, the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Nostalgia ThEraPy. Once again, the collaboration delivers a potent dose of East Coast boom bap, with seven new cuts packed with dusty drums, gritty basslines, and sharp lyricism.

Truth sounds hungrier than ever, pairing razor-edged bars with that signature Beatminerz sound that helped shape a generation of East Coast hip-hop. The project features an all-star lineup that includes Psycho Les, Tragedy Khadafi, and Royal Flush, with precision cuts from DJ JS-1 on three standout tracks. From the anthemic lead single “Check It Out” to the lyrical fireworks of “Cause for Concern”, every record captures the authenticity and energy of golden-era New York.

Elsewhere, Truth channels raw nostalgia on “Want It Back,” demanding a return to hip-hop’s roots of originality and integrity, while “Redrum Seen” and “Done Did It” showcase his wordplay over sinister horns and pounding percussion, both elevated by JS-1’s signature scratches.

With Nostalgia ThEraPy 2, Truth and Da Beatminerz deliver more than just another boom bap record. It’s a masterclass in timeless hip-hop craftsmanship. The album drops on Friday 21st November via Animal Military Records, following the release of its debut single “Check It Out” due out on Thursday 6th November.

Proudly presenting the brand new studio album "Run Toward The Monster" by Apollo Brown and Ty Farris

“Run Toward The Monster” is where fear meets the concrete. It’s a raw, unflinching dive into the darkness we all carry. Legendary Detroit producer Apollo Brown laces every track with grimy, soul-drenched grit, while mainstay emcee Ty Farris spits with surgical clarity; no filters, no fantasies. 

Each track is grown-man rap rooted in survival, self-awareness, and standing your ground. The monster isn’t just out there, it’s inside, and this album’s about facing it head-on. No capes, no heroes. Just two masters of the craft turning struggle into beautiful sound. 

Gritty, emotional, and unapologetically honest, “Run Toward The Monster” is a fitting soundtrack for the cold months and colder realities. 

“For the last 10 years, we’ve listened to our supporters call for this project, just based on the chemistry of a handful of features, so we made it happen. This album is for all the true fans & supporters of Apollo Brown & Ty Farris, respectively.” - Apollo Brown

This is survival music. No gimmicks, no fluff. Just real beats and real talk.

Greenness are delighted to announce their sophomore album "Honeymoons" out now!

Three years in the making, this new collection of songs playfully intertwines the theatrical energy of art-rock with orchestral, folk, jazz, retro pop, electronic and ambient influences. The result is a lavish cornucopia of sounds led by driving beats, layered guitars and powerful vocals, with lyrical themes ranging from love to loneliness, gratitude to greed and desire to death.

In stark contrast with the duo's debut Sunrooms (an intimate and ethereal affair, recorded as a two-piece in isolation), Honeymoons ushers in an eclectic troupe of creative collaborators, including multi-instrumentalist Charlotte Glasson (Nick Cave, Graham Coxon...), double bassist Tom Bailey (Buffo’s Wake, Nine Dead Mice...), harpist Fíor Anderson (Sekinue, Ultimate Tigerfrog...), cellist Robin Squirrell (Night House, Bee & Jackrabbit...) and classically-trained clarinettist, Emily Lamb. On stage, the band is joined by drummer Jeremy Noble (Lunatic Calm) and bassist Dom Hall (Code South).

Lead singer and songwriter Cess Greenness explains: "I think of this record as the final episode of a trilogy that started with Florilège - a compilation of our earliest recordings - and continued with Sunrooms, which explored ideas of growth, unfolding and blossoming. Honeymoons incarnates the next natural stage, the harvest season, so it is full of ripe fruit imagery and symbolism around temptation, abundance and decadence... we're bringing all the drama with this one!"

The 12 songs of Honeymoons were written, arranged, recorded and produced by Greenness in their home studio, including singles Hilltop, Meltdown and Psychopomps. "This hands-on approach allows us to enjoy complete creative freedom", says Graham Greenness, who mixed and mastered the record as well as playing most instrumental parts, including guitars, electric bass, mandolin, synth, organ, flute, piano and percussion. "It's a DIY mindset that also extends to the visual narrative of our work, such as the music videos, which we co-directed and edited. It's been amazing to craft this project together and see our vision flourish!"

When asked about the meaning behind Honeymoons, the couple ponders: 

"Well, we've been together for over a decade, and what we've come to realise is that 'the honeymoon phase' isn't really a one-off thing. You can have so many adventures and experiences across the years that will ignite your fire again and again, not just in a romantic sense but also within your art, your creativity... and this crazy feeling keeps coming back. It's about the excitement of holding something new, special and beautiful... and how each and every time, you find yourself overwhelmed, in equal measure, by the joy of having it and the fear of losing it."

Honeymoons will be released digitally across all streaming platforms + on limited edition CDs, vinyl and digital download via Bandcamp (pre-orders are live) alongside an online listening party on 14th November 2025.

Greenness will be celebrating Honeymoons with a full band headline show on 28th November 2025 at the Alphabet Venue in Brighton (ticket link here).
