A musical diet of Lupe Fiasco\, Common\, Kano and Sway further sparked his fascination with Hip-hop which later led his father to introduce him to an engineer who organised Kofi’s very first studio session. 2017 saw the release of his debut single ‘Stories In Pyjamas’\, soon followed by ‘Nothin’ Ain’t Free’\, which quickly positioned him as one of the most exciting emerging artists that year. With a growing fanbase\, multiple sold-out headline shows and relationships built in all the right places\, his debut project Nobody Cares Till Everybody Does was proof that Kofi had arrived. The record was independently released via his label Tru Community and featured BRIT-nominated musician Loyle Carner and Irish songwriter\, Maverick Sabre. Kofi has since toured with Loyle Carner\, graced the stage at festivals across the world\, and joined forces with the likes of Jacob Banks\, Mr Jukes & Barney Artist and Tiana Major9. After a brief hiatus\, Kofi is back with new releases ‘May Sound Crazy ft. Benjamin Zephaniah’\, ‘Black Joy’\, and his most recent single ‘You’ll Be Okay’. With a new album on the horizon we can expect a triumphant 2024 for Kofi Stone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/kofi-stone-gorilla/ LOCATION:Gorilla\, 54-56 Whitworth St W\, Manchester\, M1 5WW CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241120T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241120T190000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20240721T193150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240721T193152Z UID:33539-1732129200-1732129200@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Say She She / Albert Hall DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/say-she-she-albert-hall/ LOCATION:Albert Hall\, 27 Peter St\, Manchester\, M2 5QR CATEGORIES:SOUL GIGS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/saysheshe-manchester.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241117T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241117T190000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20240707T131904Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240720T110837Z UID:33139-1731870000-1731870000@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Kneecap DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/kneecap-new-century/ LOCATION:New Century Hall\, 34 Hanover St\, Manchester\, M4 4AH CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS,Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/kneecap.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241111T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241111T200000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20240523T223754Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240720T120642Z UID:32967-1731355200-1731355200@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:The Herbaliser Band DESCRIPTION:Way back In January 1995\, Ollie Teeba and Jake Wherry AKA The Herbaliser\, a sample- based beatmaking duo from Twickenham\, South West London\, released their debut 12” single ‘The Real Killer’ on UK label Ninja Tune. The pair were deeply immersed in Hip Hop culture and heavily into digging around in dusty record bins looking for funky samples. As well as jazz and soul records\, they had a particular taste in old movie soundtracks\, which would become a particular characteristic of their production sound. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThey soon followed up with their first LP\, ‘Remedies’ Establishing themselves as one of the main features of the Ninja Tune crew\, as they expanded their roster of eclectic artists and DJs. The following year\, as they were recording their second full length release\, ‘Blow Your Headphones’\, they extended their output to include an 8 piece live band and debuted June 1996 at George IV in Brixton. The Herbaliser Band continued on\, touring internationally\, to great reception\, from diverse audiences and would become regulars at a multitude of electronic\, dance\, dub and jazz festivals\, worldwide\, for the next 2 decades or so. \n\n\n\nFinally\, in 2020\, the relationship of the production duo that this all began with\, came to a conclusion. In 2021 Jake Wherry solely declared The Herbaliser finished with a very simple statement across the internet that read “The Herbaliser played their last official show in 2021. Thanks for your support over the years.” \n\n\n\nNow\, in 2024\, after something of a hiatus\, The Herbaliser Band have reformed with original members Ralph Lamb (trumpet/flugelhorn)\, Andrew Ross (tenor/baritone sax- flute)\, (Micah Moody (drums)\, Patrick Dawes (percussion) with James Morton (Alto Sax)Oliver Parfitt (keyboards)\, Conor Cotterill (bass) & of course DJ Ollie Teeba on the turntables. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/the-herbaliser-band/ LOCATION:Band On The Wall\, 27 Swan St\, Manchester\, M4 5JZ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS,Live Gig END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241105T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241105T190000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20240710T005339Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240721T190900Z UID:33193-1730833200-1730833200@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Lowkey DESCRIPTION:Lowkey returns to Manchester’s Blues Kitchen\, in support of Soundtrack To The Struggle 3. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/lowkey-blues-kitchen/ LOCATION:The Blues Kitchen\, 13 Quay St\, Manchester\, M3 3HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS,Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Snapinsta.app_450347314_992054356001429_6778211244510229066_n_1080.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241102T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241102T230000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20241019T025556Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241019T025557Z UID:33888-1730577600-1730588400@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Greenfinguz album launch @ The Hip Hop Chip Shop DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreenfinguz – The Art Of Mess album launch \n\n\n\nMusic created in anguish with a side-eye to revolution. \n\n\n\nGreenfinguz on words and beats\, Jim Parris on bass\, Truthos Mufasa steps up with Sovrano on mic\, Agent J and Ceej run the tracks. \n\n\n\nSo run yourself a fiver and come vibe… \n\n\n\nThe Art Of Mess out now greenfinguz bandcamp \n\n\n\nRaising money for Restless Beings Genocide Victim Support \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/greenfinguz-album-launch-the-hip-hop-chip-shop/ LOCATION:The Hip Hop Chip Shop\, 44 Blossom St\, Manchester\, M4 6BF\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Featured Events,HIP HOP GIGS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/green-poster.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241030T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241030T190000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20240818T191149Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240818T191215Z UID:33708-1730314800-1730314800@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Talib Kweli / The Blues Kitchen DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/talib-kweli-the-blues-kitchen/ LOCATION:The Blues Kitchen\, 13 Quay St\, Manchester\, M3 3HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS,Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/talib.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241028T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241028T190000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20241019T025230Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241021T160110Z UID:33885-1730142000-1730142000@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Angry Blackmen & Kop-Z & Agent J DESCRIPTION:Angry Blackmen — the Chicago hip-hop outfit of Quentin Branch and Brian Warren — announce their new album\, The Legend of ABM\, out January 26th\, 2024 on Deathbomb Arc\, and present lead single/video\, “Stanley Kubrick.” ABM’s second full-length and third release for Deathbomb\, The Legend of ABM is a 30-minute coming of age narrative centered around Black men navigating this wilderness known as North America.

On his first album under this new moniker\, titled BLK \n\n\n\nVINTAGE\, BLK ODYSSY―born and raised in Plainfield\, NJ\, based in Austin\, TX― dives into his personal \n\n\n\nhistory as a Black musician and the world he’s grown up around. It’s an album deeply informed by \n\n\n\nindividual experiences but applied to the plight of Black Americans everywhere. Even when the \n\n\n\nalbum chooses smooth vibes and laid back lyrics in favor of overt activism\, there’s a philosophical \n\n\n\nbent that inspires BLK ODYSSY’s work. BLK VINTAGE is inspired by a few key moments and artists. \n\n\n\nThere’s the death of BLK ODYSSY’s brother\, who was killed at the hands of police officers while BLK \n\n\n\nODYSSY was living in New Jersey. It’s the seminal moment of BLK ODYSSY’s life\, the moment he was \n\n\n\nforced to become an adult and reckon with the harsh reality of being Black in America. It fuels \n\n\n\neverything he does\, especially his activism. \n\n\n\nAfter making a name for himself as an Americana musician\, BLK ODYSSY decided to ditch the \n\n\n\npopularity he gained in favor of creating music that would reflect his own experiences and \n\n\n\nworldview. The result is BLK ODYSSY\, and this first project\, BLK VINTAGE\, moves with the urgency of \n\n\n\nan artist finally realizing their true sound. “I want to create something that will be culturally impactful \n\n\n\nfor my people. I want to do something that is impactful on a larger scale\, something that is for groups \n\n\n\nof Black people across the country.” There’s “1980\,” which slinks with the rich funk-soul of artists like \n\n\n\nAnderson .Paak and Knxwledge\, but BLK ODYSSY’s half-rapped cadence is wholly unique and utterly \n\n\n\nintoxicating. The moments of levity hit equally as hard as the work refracted through the trauma BLK \n\n\n\nODYSSY has experienced. Still\, though\, BLK ODYSSY has the rare ability to present multiple sides of \n\n\n\nhimself. “Hang Low” is a sultry love jam\, strutting with velvet harmonies and a bass line straight out \n\n\n\nof the Pino Palladino school of indestructible grooves. \n\n\n\nThe good times occasionally give way to introspection and remembrance\, though. The death of BLK \n\n\n\nODYSSY’s brother makes its way into the powerful “Drinking Good\,” but he balances it with a desire \n\n\n\nto inspire the next generation. “My goal is to connect with the black youth\, and my goal is to connect \n\n\n\nwith my people and speak to them on a level where we can stop suffering from happening\,” he \n\n\n\nexplains. “There’s only so much we can do for the dead. This record asks: ‘How can we stop this from \n\n\n\nhappening again?’” Though the music is deeply tied to BLK ODYSSY’s own identity\, he speaks a \n\n\n\nuniversal music in his language\, one easily relatable for those that want to see a better world. \n\n\n\nNeo-soul artists like D’Angelo and socially conscious MCs like Kendrick Lamar are clear touchstones\, \n\n\n\nbut BLK ODYSSY also takes cues from the celebratory funk of Parliament who also came from \n\n\n\nPlainfield\, on tracks like “Funketology.” “All the musicians that I grew up with are relatives of \n\n\n\nParliament members. We grew up in that culture\, it inspires who we are\,” explains BLK ODYSSY. This \n\n\n\npotent combination of politically-charged street anthems\, party-ready funk jams\, and top-down\, \n\n\n\nhead-nodding beats makes BLK VINTAGE a sterling debut and one of the most powerful and timely \n\n\n\nreleases of the year. BLK ODYSSY speaks to his predecessors\, but the new concoction is all his own. \n\n\n\nIt’s a triumphant testament to Black power\, a message to the kids that look like him that there’s \n\n\n\nsomeone in their corner. “The Black youth has been poisoned numb because of the shit we have to \n\n\n\ndeal with\,” BLK ODYSSY explains. “I want to speak to our experiences and let people know it’s okay to \n\n\n\nshed that layer and really\, truly feel.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/blk-odyssy-deaf-institute/ LOCATION:The Deaf Institute\, 135 Grosvenor St\, Manchester\, M1 7HE CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Screenshot-2024-07-21-at-19.07.41.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241019T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241019T190000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20240721T184204Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240721T184207Z UID:33519-1729364400-1729364400@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Ishmael Ensemble / Gorilla DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/ishmael-ensemble-gorilla/ LOCATION:Gorilla\, 54-56 Whitworth St W\, Manchester\, M1 5WW CATEGORIES:JAZZ GIGS END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241018T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241018T230000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20240712T110650Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240721T190913Z UID:33373-1729278000-1729292400@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Fliptrix + Jazz T / Stage & Radio DESCRIPTION:In support of new album DRAGONFLY. \n\n\n\nRead more here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/fliptrix-jazz-t-stage-radio/ CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS,Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FLIPTRIX-MANCHESTER_FLYER-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241016T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241016T183000 DTSTAMP:20260414T230646 CREATED:20240714T170610Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240714T170611Z UID:33424-1729103400-1729103400@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:UNKLE / Gorilla DESCRIPTION:Lavelle: “With the Rōnin Tour\, the UNKLE live experience is reimagined within the context of a club environment rather than a traditional live show.
