The single ‘Jealous’ will mark the first release from Mahalia, and the second from Rico. Both Mahalia and Rico released albums in 2020: Mahalia’s three-track EP titled ‘Isolation Tapes’ which won Mahalia the award for Best Female Act and Best R&B/Soul Act at the 2020 MOBO Awards, and Rico’s debut album titled ‘Nightmare Vacation’.

NME reviewed ‘Nightmare Vacation’ and said that it was a solid four-star record, stating, “the frenetic Maryland artist will not be restrained by any boundaries – genre, social or otherwise – as this thrilling, wildly charged, star-stuffed debut proves. While Nasty’s catalogue has found her focused on pushing to the extremities of self-expression – baking rock, screamo and punk directly into her rap with reckless abandon – with this record she flexes her chops as an artist with mainstream appeal.” ‘Nightmare Vacation’ also featured on NME’s best 50 albums of 2020.

Track 4 features Yung Baby Tate on the track Damn Daniel, Track 6 Features Maliibu Miitch on Gucci and a bonus remix of Little Nokia will have the highly anticipated Rico Nasty feature on track 9. Track 3 however, ATM, has not yet announced the special collaborator but Runway has confirmed the appearance from a surprise feature.

Born and bred in Hackney, London, this singer/songwriter rapper signed with Virgin EMI Records in 2018. Runway then released her first EP, Be Runway in 2019. The single 2ON off that EP became a hit, even being featured in Paper Magazines Top 50 Songs of 2019.

Runway continued her rise in the industry with success in 2020 with the released of the single Damn Daniel featuring Yung Baby Tate which was dropped with the now famous quarantine-edition music video on April 30th. Annie Mac’s Future Sounds on BBC Radio 1 named Damn Daniel the ‘Hottest Record in the World’.

Her many released singles and one EP consist of music that span genres. Runway merges hip-hop and pop in a fresh way and though she is known for her london-rap sound, she is a powerful singer in her own right.

Runway contributes to the songwriting process as well, being credited as co-writer on many of her hit songs. Her lyricism is skilled and clear, fans can experience her creative expertise especially in track 8, No Sir, which features Runway freestyling, otherwise known as rapping verse on the spot.

The London artist performed multiple live songs for her YouTube series ‘Fresh From Home Live Performances’ last month. Due to safety concerns surrounding Covid-19, Runway does not have any live in-person shows or concerts coming up in late 2020 or early 2021 as of right now.

The new mixtape announced today, 2000AND4EVA will be released next Friday, November 6th and will be available for streaming on all media platforms. The mixtape is highly anticipated and the track-list, released today, is below.

Formed in 2015, 100 gecs is an electronic duo from America, consisting of Dylan Brady and Laura Les. The duo has risen to fame in the electronic music scene with many cult-like followers. Their music can be described as abrasive, maximalist pop music that could be off-putting for some listeners, but with their eccentric craft that blends wide-ranging genres from pop punk, dubstep, hip-hop, ska, trance, to metal makes the duo become highly popular amongst the indie listeners.

In May 2019, the weird duo released their debut album 1000 gecs. The record contains ten tracks with well-known tracks like “money machine” and “800db cloud“. It also receives critical acclaim from numerous music critics—such as Pitchfork, Rolling Stones, Stereogum, and The New York Times—that put the album on their ‘Best Of’ list of 2019.

This year, Brady and Les are set to drop a remixed album of their debut LP named 1000 gecs & The Tree of Clues. The album was initially teased with two remixes of their own songs by A. G. Cook and Injury Reserve. Following these two remixes, they have released a brand new remixed track of “ringtone”. The remix version is a collaboration with British PC music queen Charli XCX, American rapper Rico Nasty, and British indie band Kero Kero Bonito’s Sarah Bonito, resulting in an extreme fun track filled with all-star weirdos in pop music.

For 100 gecs and Charli XCX, the remix rendition of “ringtone” is not the first time they work together. Dylan Brady is listed as one of the producers of “Click”, the track off Charli XCX’s eponymous third studio album.

On June 3, 100 gecs is set to play a show at The Underworld Camden, London. Unfortunately, the tickets have already been sold out.
