The Plug & JAY1 Enlist Blueface For International Collaboration “Curvy”
The Plug is something like the UK’s equivalent of DJ Khaled, responsible for some of the biggest cross pollinations of British and American hip hop, bringing artists like Gunna, Offset, Rich the Kid, Roddy Ricch, Polo G, and Lil Baby together with household names from across the pond.
It looks like the next artist to make his way to the UK via The Plug is none other than everybody’s favourite mopping rapper, Blueface.
UK rapper JAY1 provides a confident hook and verse but Blueface commands your attention from the first “yeah, aight.”
The single comes complete with a video on the popular UK rap page GRMDaily, which is as unexpected as the collaboration was in the first place.
“Blueface on GRMDaily, on a Song with Jay1?” reads the current top comment on Youtube. “Who would’ve thought Lol”
Quotable Lyrics
Fill up the banks like Uncle Phil
Before I learn how to cook a meal bitch I made a mil
I fuck with my chains, she get the chills
Buffalo ass, I pay her bills
She only wear heels, my house in the hills
I fuck with the weed, she fuck with the pills
I just robbed a nigga, I do not steal
But I keep the steel, it could get real

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.

Devan Ibiza adds soul and reflection on new release “Portland”
With “Portland,” Devan Ibiza creates a warm, thoughtful, atmospheric hip-hop record rooted in boom-bap’s deep, reflective energy. Soulful production and introspective mood make it a quiet moment of thought rather than a distraction.
“Portland” embodies classic hip-hop. Boom-bap gives it a rhythmic foundation, and warm, soulful production draws listeners in. This beat is perfect for contemplation, letting emotion and thought flow.
The single’s mood adds interest. Devan Ibiza values subtlety and atmosphere over loudness and trends. The song’s restraint is its strength. Late-night thoughts, personal memories, and quiet realizations make “Portland” contemplative.
Devan Ibiza’s release is well-paced emotionally. Since the song is never rushed or crowded, its atmosphere can naturally resonate. That patience gives “Portland” a timeless quality usually reserved for classic hip-hop stories and soulful underground records.
