Krept and Konan had social media buzzing last night, from Twitter to Instagram to Snapchat, fans were excited for the unveiling of their highly anticipated album ‘The Long Way Home’; which they have been teasing at for the past 10 days.

The South London hailing hip hop duo who are most known for their hit single ‘Don't Waste My Time’, have also revealed the official artwork (seen above) and the tracklisting to the new album.

Krept and Konan have an all-star lineup of guest appearances on their new album, including Derrick Morgan, Skepta, Wiz Khalifa, Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sandé, YG, Rick Ross as well as newcomer - Rebecca Garton, and Konan's mum.

2013 saw the two release their mixtape ‘Young Kingz’, which entered the UK albums chart at number 19 and the UK R&B chart debuting at number three.

The success of the mixtape also saw Krept and Konan break a world record for 'Highest-charting UK album by an unsigned act', where they later received a certificate from the Guinness World Record in early 2014. As well as a Guinness World Record, the ‘Young Kingz’, won the 'Best International Act: UK' at the 2014 BET Awards, and later in the same year, they won a MOBO Award for 'Best Hip Hop Act 2014'.

Rudimental: ‘Free’ (Remix) ft. Emeli Sandé & Nas + New Video to ‘Free’

Rudimental features the legendary Nas for a verse on their hit single ‘Free’, off their award-winning album ‘Home’. The song which originally features singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé has also got a new music video to it, listen to the song and the video both below.

New Video: Emeli Sandé - My Kind of Love (RedOne and Alex P Remix)

Emeli Sandé channels a new hair colour - rocking an aqua blue in her new video to ‘My Kind of Love’. 

The video captures emotional moments all based around love, where we can see hurtful words in the form of bullets piercing through the skin of the people in this video. And them all overcoming because of someone's love for them - including a dying horse. 

Director - Sanji Senaka pulled out all the stops for this one, and it surely touches the heart. 

Words do have an impact on people's lives - both positive and negative and that is exactly what's portrayed in the video below. Check it out.. 

New Music: Emeli Sandé & The Bryan Ferry Orchestra - Crazy in Love

The Great Gatsby movie will be released in May of this year and of course, it's only right that the movie has soundtracks from top names in the music industry. Already we got a cover soundtrack from Beyoncé and André 3000 who both covered the late Amy Winehouses' song 'Back to Black'. And now we have Emeli Sandé who covers Beyoncé's single 'Crazy in Love' with The Bryan Ferry Orchestra.

They switched up the song entirely - making it sound completely different - it has a more jazzy feel to it and is an upbeat dance track. I love Emeli Sandé's voice on this type of song. She really is an all round artist.

New Music: Emeli Sandé - Next To Me (Remix) ft. Kendrick Lamar

Personally, I don't think that this song needed a remix. 

Emeli Sandé gets with Interscope recording artist Kendrick Lamar for the official remix to her single 'Next To Me' off her album 'Our Version of Events'.

Sandé added a couple more BRIT Awards under her belt last night after she won British Solo Female Artist. Emeli Sandé has been making her name known all over the States and has been selling out shows all over.

Emeli Sandé's too talented. I'll forever be a fan!

New Video: Emeli Sandé - Clown

One of my favourite singers out right now - Emeli Sandé has released the video to her song "Clown". The British singer who is currently conquering in the States with her album Our Version of Events sings with her soulful voice in this touching black and white video.

"I'll be your clown, behind the glass, go ahead and laugh, cos' it's funny, I would too..."
