Da Exiles are made up of cousins, Harb Salaam and Mo Striker, both of whom have a life story worth sharing, and the musical ability to share it in the slickest, most succinct way possible. As the beat kicks in, Mo Striker makes himself known with a Wretch 32-like flow that has you hooked into the story of his old life and his current life, with self-belief and God being at the forefront of that better path. A brilliant story that isn’t heard all that often, it leaves you on the edge of your seat. Next, comes in Harb Salaam, who brings his own story that isn’t too dissimilar to Striker’s. Salaam, however, comes in with a much more US-influenced style, laying down rhymes that have the perfect balance between the beat and Striker’s verses. With two stories as unique and inspiring as theirs, ‘Never Stop Believing’ is a single that is hard to ignore.

With a message on finding a better path and making a better life for yourself, the duo aim to inspire the youth with their music, allowing people who are stuck in a life to find a way out. As well as a fantastic message and aim in their music, it’s delivered with undeniable ability that itself demands to be heard. Coming out on February 24^th, you cannot miss this!

You may be wondering what makes SFZ stand out from the huge numbers of amazing upcoming rappers dominating the UK music scene. Well, you may be surprised to know that before discovering his talent for writing earworm rap, he was a classical pianist. With no reason to keep his passions separate, SFZ has developed a unique sound, setting his rap to stunning piano and soft, low-fi beats that create the ultimate chilled out atmosphere in his completely self recorded and produced single.

The single is accompanied by a stripped back music video, putting the focus on SFZ’s raw talent and emotion which you can watch below:

SFZ’s personal lyrics cover topics that are important to him, such as his experiences battling depression and with drug and alcohol abuse throughout his adult life; you can feel the passion in his music, which he uses as a form of therapy.

Now, the rap prodigy aims to use his music to help himself heal and to help others by sharing his positive and relatable messages.

“We should be role models for ourselves and for those around us, to be kind and to love.”
