Idris Elba and Slick Rick have joined forces for the release of a striking new single, “Badman Generation,” which dropped on Friday, September 19. The track was released through 7Wallace Music, Elba’s London-based label, under exclusive license to Mass Appeal. Founded in 2015, 7Wallace continues to serve as a platform for innovative and boundary-pushing projects.

With “Badman Generation”, the two UK-born creatives have delivered a bold extension of the “Victory” visual album. “Badman Generation” is described as both a provocative anthem and a signal of what lies ahead, fusing Slick Rick’s legendary hip-hop storytelling with Elba’s multifaceted artistry. The release will also be available as a limited-edition 45 RPM record, adding a collectible dimension to the project.

The accompanying music video, filmed on the historic Electric Avenue in South London—Slick Rick’s childhood neighborhood—offers a cinematic tribute to cultural identity and forward-thinking artistry.

Dancehall artist Laden has teamed up with producer Di Genius, the son of reggae legend Freddie McGregor, to release a laid-back, captivating new single titled “My Place”.

Shared on September 14, Laden uses the track to celebrate his community, acknowledging that although he is renowned worldwide, he remains humble and committed to the neighborhood from which he came. Simple as it may seem, this is notable because we often hear stories of accomplished artists who are either unable or unwilling to return to their old communities once they’ve become successful.

The official video for “My Place” was also uploaded to YouTube on the aforementioned date. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment, and share.
