A groundbreaking YouTube series that brings together two public figures from different worlds for an unscripted conversation about travel, food, music and the things that connect us.

We were invited to the Caribbean Music Awards at short notice. Flights booked, bags light, we landed in Brooklyn and joined the line of cameras outside Kings Theatre. The real reception was not inside. It was on the steps, by the barricades, in that narrow corridor where handshakes turn into plans. Artists, executives, and media who already track what we build in the UK stopped us mid stride to talk - still new and still moving, we treated the trip like a live brief. We worke

First thing you notice is the room. Low light. Glossy surfaces. That soft glow that makes everyone look like they slept. Seating laid out for conversation, not chaos. It feels designed, not decorated. You can tell they’ve thought about how the evening moves from first drink to last bite.

BBC Radio 1Xtra is marking Black History Month with a line-up that puts legacy, community and live radio energy front and centre.

For a genre so highly praised in the UK, especially London for helping birth much of what we listen to now, you would assume one of the biggest names in dancehall would have sold out the O2 Arena. The history is rich, the numbers are there, the city loves it, so why hasn’t it happened until now?

When I first clicked on Sapores' Instagram, my first thought was wow . This place is stunning. It’s the kind of spot I’d recommend to friends looking for somewhere thoughtful, stylish, and enjoyable. Whether you're there for dinner, shisha, a celebration, or just want a nice setting, Sapores definitely delivers. A Curated Experience Their Instagram is curated with intention. It’s not just pretty pictures; it’s about showcasing the effort that goes into presenting the space. T

Blacklist feels a bit more bougie than some of the other spots I’ve visited. It’s refined and elegant, the kind of place where you might want to pull out your best heels and favourite dress. That said, it’s not intimidating you can definitely come as you are, but most people use it as a reason to dress up and enjoy the vibe.

The thing about Recess Land is that no one really knows what it is. Not fully. And I think that’s the point.

Been loving  documenting all these lounges I’ve been to and this is lounge number 5. Not in order of favourites (don’t make me choose!)...

By now, you’ve probably clocked that I’m on a bit of a mission: finding the best lounges in and around London, one shisha spot at a time. And honestly? I’m loving it. I’ve always been someone who’d rather hit up a lounge than a club give me good food, chill vibes, and a flavourful shisha over a crowded dancefloor any day. So being able to share this side of me in writing? It’s been such a cool experience.

Tucked away on the ninth floor of the Radisson Red, Nine Lounge is literally a hidden gem in the sky. You step out of the lift, and boom panoramic views of East London that make you pause before you even sit down. It’s the kind of view that makes you want to stay awhile.

Anyway, I’ve been scrolling Wingstop UK’s Instagram and think: damn, these guys really get their audience, like they really know them. It’s not just promo after promo. Their giveaways are actual experiences because they know their community wants more than just a free meal. Case in point: they gave away two tickets to a J‑Hus concert instead of a meal for two. That flexibility tells you everything.

Amid the noise of daily life, a powerful documentary shines a light on Rowan Forester, DJ Rhino Selekta, whose love for music and community inspired the Original Culture Festival. Through intimate stories and behind-the-scenes moments, it honours a legacy cut short but never forgotten.

From the moment we pulled up, it felt like we were stepping into something a bit special. The hotel itself is surrounded by these gorgeous, peaceful grounds like a hidden pocket of calm just outside the city. But when we got up to the rooftop terrace? Whole different vibe.

I remember the first time I went to Hart Lounge. Me and my friend were just looking for a nice spot in London somewhere we could get good shisha, good food, and a vibe. Simple as that. I went online, checked the reviews, and honestly? They looked too good to ignore. So we booked a table, got dressed up, and headed to Southgate.

Morella were invited down to Conway the Machine’s exclusive listening party in Brixton the other night and let’s just say, the room was heavy with bars and basslines. Held at Venue Brix, the night brought out fans, media, and some of the UK’s sharpest ears, all tuned in to hear Slant Face Killah in full.

Kenny Barber and PRS are changing the game for UK songwriters starting with paid sessions, funding access, and real tools to claim what you're owed.

In a world where opportunity is often gate kept and community is just a buzzword, DJ AG has done the complete opposite. He’s opened doors for people artists, creatives, businesses without waiting for anything in return. I don’t even think we can begin to count how many opportunities he’s created, both directly and indirectly. And that’s what makes what he’s doing so powerful.

It’s funny — I kind of know how it feels now, or how all of these YouTube reactors feel when they need to jump on a moment. I literally just shared my thoughts on the UK vs US rap clash, and the next day, Skepta had already fired back with Round 2. For nearly four minutes, it felt like he was landing punch after punch. Whether you're a rap battle expert or just watching it unfold, this one’s hard to ignore — and even harder not to replay.

It started when Skepta made a bold claim about UK artists out rapping their American counterparts a statement that didn’t sit right with Joyner. The Massachusetts rapper responded online, calling for a lyrical face-off: “The moment I’ve been waiting for… say the word. Joyner Lucas vs @Skepta. #UKvsUS.”

Known for transforming everyday London corners into open-air stages, DJ AG has cultivated a space where spontaneity meets sound system culture. No stage barriers, no velvet rope just music, people, and presence.

I've heard that London's music scene is getting ready for Ellie Prohan's first live showcase, 'THE SET', happening on June 5th at The Courtyard Theatre in Shoreditch. It’s an evening that’s set to bring together some great artists and a crowd excited to experience live music.
