AJ Tracey and Jorja Smith team up for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge

Two of the UK’s finest artists – singer Jorja Smith and rapper AJ Tracey, came together for a special performance on BBC Radio 1 last week.

Jorja had just recently brought out the West London rapper during her spectacular Glastonbury performance, for his hit “Ladbroke Grove” – which partly samples “Wandering Romance.”

Fans went crazy incidentally, so it was only correct that AJ returned the favour. During their Live Lounge appearance , the pair recreated their earlier performance before surprising fans with blistering rendition of 2000 garage anthem “Flowers” by Sweet Female Attitude.

The reaction to their cover has been so overwhelming, that AJ himself has acknowledged the demand for a studio version. Whilst we await more music from the dynamic duo, re-watch both Live Lounge performances below.

21 year old rapper Dave, nicknamed ‘Santan Dave’ brought the heat to Glastonbury’s The Other Stage on Sunday Night.

What a beautiful moment and one that has captured the hearts of fans. This togetherness is what music represents. The connection between an artist and their fans is imperative, and we salute the young king Dave in blessing Alex with this opportunity. Big up to Alex for the confidence and this impressive skills on the mic – a moment he will surely never forget.

Congratulations to Dave once again on his success, and the boundaries he is breaking as an artist. Guaranteed, it won’t be too long until he’s up on the Pyramid stage.
