New York based emcee ize has been on our radar since the release of his 2020 track “This is not a drill”, a ferocious mashup of hardcore, grime, and jungle that cemented his status as a musical force of nature. Now, ize is back with his much-anticipated debut Ize Cream Man, an eight-track album that sees the artist transport his listeners to the menacing depths of a late-night rave. Featuring contributions by frequent collaborator Eartheater, the album is both unhinged and exhilarating, a genre-hopping ride cranked up wildly to the max.

Elsewhere, Badbadnotgood return with a sprawling album, hyperpop stars glaive and ericdoa drop a joint EP, and UNIIQU3 brings us a slice of jersey club.
