Today sees Kneecap unveil their music video for “Sayōnara,” a new song made in collaboration with Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll. The track comes accompanied by an official video directed by Finn Keenan and features Derry Girls actor Jamie Lee O’Donnell. Talking about appearing in the video, Jamie-Lee O’Donnell said: "I had the best time filming the ‘Sayōnara’ music video. Not only is it a massive banger of a track but the intense yet euphoric video is sure to be remembered. The creativity and vision of director, Finn, created a fantastic environment for us all to create something really special. I was delighted to have been asked to be involved in this project especially as I am already a huge fan of Kneecap's music and an admirer of their work overall". Having digitally released ‘Sayōnara’ today, the track will also be available as double A-sided 12” alongside their Kemi Badenoch baiting summer anthem, ‘THE RECAP’, on which the West Belfast trio collaborated with drum & bass producer Mozey (courtesy of Rinse).

This week sees Chiedu Oraka unveil his brand new single 'Mayne', the first release to come from his signing with new EMI North partner Launchpad+. With its deep bassline and grime influence, the track serves as a true testament to the London scene as he steps up the game with ice cold lyrics and a flow unmatched. Speaking on the inspiration for the track, Oraka shares: "It sets the picture perfectly for this newfound energy I have running through my body. With 'Mayne', I wanted to go back to that feeling of when I fell in love with music, that old-school West Coast hip-hop sound with fun lyrics. In a time where everything feels so serious, I wanted to tap into that nostalgic feeling and add my own East Yorkshire flavour into the pot." Take a listen for yourselves below.
