  • [@CASANOVA_2X] connects with [@officialgiggs] for latest drop ‘Live’

    ‘Live’ is the latest transatlantic link up between the UK and the US, a trend that’s been around for years but has become even more popular recently. ‘Live’ is a collaboration that just makes sense.

  • ‘No Banter’ on this one as [@Mercston] & [@Wretch32] link up

    Friends and collaborators, Wretch 32 and Mercston link up to let us know there’s ‘No Banter‘ on this one.
