Following their appearance on 2020’s acclaimed Blue Note Re:imagined project, the London duo Blue Lab Beats—producer NK-OKand multi-instrumentalist Mr DM—present their first musical offering of 2021 with the EP We Will Rise and the irrepressible single “Blow You Away (Delilah)” featuring Ghetto Boy. The five-track EP—which also features Braxton Cook, Kojey Radical, Alex Blake, and DTsoul—is a project from the heart, intended to offer healing and hope to those wearied by racism and prejudice. It’s music that variously celebrates resilience, provides reassurance, and sparks joy. Pulsing through a sound that blends boom-bap grooves and jazz-funk hooks are wide-ranging influences inspired by the pioneers of hip-hop and the music of the African diaspora; a sound that tells of London, of today, while hinting at the future.
