After the successful releases of ’80’s Baby’ and ‘Just Some Kids’ from his third EP ‘Green Screens In Visible View’ – Piers James has officially staked his claim as one to watch. Catching the eyes of the likes of Complex, Sabotage Times, DJ Booth, SBTV and Link Up TV, Piers slots seamlessly into the most vital of the current high-quality 90s revivalists in UK Hip-Hop: Little Simz, Jay Prince and Hawk House with his energetic, creative wordplay and penchant for high-quality, golden era instrumentals.

The EP showcases Piers’ mischievous, confident delivery as well as an insight into a darker, more menacing side of the young rapper as yet unseen. In addition to delivering the bars, Piers is responsible for the majority of the production on the EP and alongside Jake Milliner (whose production credits include the likes of Hawk House) the EP is a seriously exciting body of work from start to finish.

Pittsburgh is fast becoming a city synonymous with hip-hop artists. The next big name coming out of the Burgh could well be Norman Dean. The hippie-stoner has just released a brand new project, titled ‘Flowers in the Attic’. The tape works best listening from the first song and vibing with it, and includes some excellent bars and beats. Notable features include Watts, CA rapper Glasses Malone and battle rapper Franchise. Production is handled by Noco, Norman Dean himself, Cicco and No Sleep among others.
