Jamaican-born, Queens-raised Remy Banks unique style combines classic golden era boom-bap with sounds of the future. His first solo album higher. demonstrates Banks' ability to explore vintage jazz, and soul, as well as crunchier, synth and beat driven sounds. His new single 'beef & broc', featuring words from Rome Streetz, and production from Like! has arrived along with a video shot in a Chinese takeaway. The song features a woozy beat (the wooziness you feel after too much Chinese takeaway), and a delirious piano loop, with slow and slurpy vocals from Banks'. Rome Streetz tells us of the drug stop before his rap career, and says "f*** uncle sam". 'beef and broc' blends old school hip-hop styles with fresh sounds and effortless rap. -Ellie Rose-Davies
