It’s been a long time since Wretch 32 established himself as British rap’s new poster boy. In 2011 alone, he released a trio of top five singles with Traktor, Unorthodox and the chart-topping Don’t Go, all taken from ‘Black and White’, a second album steeped in tales of a reckless youth. Now aged 40, ‘Home?’ gloriously captures a sense of maturity that shows his attention is now driven in more worthwhile directions.

If you love music, your wardrobe is likely stuffed full of band shirts. You might have a bunch of hoodies or a cap or two as well, or maybe something even more eclectic than that. It’s a conversation starter with fellow fans, a way of announcing that you belong to a certain scene, and a way of shouting about bands you love. On top of that, it’s also a vital way of putting money in artists’ pockets at a time where making enough money is harder than ever. Put simply, it’s the lifeblood of music.

‘Metalhorse’ is the emotionally charged and sonically enriched third album from Billy Nomates, signifying a considerable transformation in Tor Maries’ creative approach. It is her first produced in a studio with a full band and was profoundly influenced by personal challenges, including the recent death of her father and her own diagnosis with MS.
