Kojey Radical Pubblica "Expensive" Featuring Planet Giza
East London’s own multi-hyphenate artist and rapper Kojey Radical unveils his brand-new single “Expensive” featuring Planet Giza. Produced by Swindle, “Expensive” is built on a futuristic, stripped-back beat that blends infectious rhythm with a hook that lingers long after the first listen. The song balances groove with gravity, delivering lines like “Stop holding on to the past” and “No price on life and time”, lyrics that carry real weight while keeping the track undeniably danceable. Keeping true to the idea of taking the conversation offline, the full tracklist for “Don’t Look Down” will be revealed this Friday in Shoreditch, unveiled on a striking mural painted by Marc at MurWalls. Mural location available on request!
16-tracks long, “Don’t Look Down”, set for release on September 19th 2025, is a musically rich and deeply introspective reflection on the shifting tides, lows and joys that have passed through his life since his emergence into the public eye. Set among an arresting musical backdrop, brimming with soul and vivid instrumentation, is a story of loss and renewal, hedonism and celebrity, fatherhood and friendship. Sonicamente, l'album fornisce la musica più sperimentale ed eclettica della sua carriera, con influenze che vanno dall'età d'oro Hip Hop alla discoteca, grime all'Indie, Jazz a Ska. Insieme, queste stringhe si combinano per dare una visione pertinente del mondo interiore di Kojey, e un timestamp che documenta i sentimenti, le emozioni e le esperienze che sorgono quando molti raggiungono la pietra miliare dei loro 30 anni.
Con “Don’t Look Down”, Kojey Radical mira a riconnettersi con la comunità che lo ha sostenuto da “Reason to Smile”. Oltre alla musica, ha curato feste in persona in tutto il Regno Unito, incontri intimi progettati per portare l'esperienza offline e nutrire autentiche connessioni. Come parte del lancio, Kojey ha anche ospitato due proiezioni speciali per il cortometraggio che accompagna l'album. Il film riunisce tre video musicali in un unico pezzo cinematografico. Directed by Relta, the project stems from Kojey’s desire to reintroduce care and artistry into the video musicale format, drawing inspiration from the powerful visuals he grew up watching.
