DC3 Links With Stormzy for Powerful New Single “Kunta In UK”
Northampton gospel-inspired rapper DC3 released his new single “Kunta In UK” on September 4, a record that pairs one of UK Christian rap’s fastest-rising names with the biggest figure in British rap. The single arrived on Greatness Takes Time Records Ltd, under exclusive licence to Universal Music Operations Limited, and its video features an appearance from Stormzy, shot by Ade “Adelight” Adesina.
The song takes its name and its weight from Kunta Kinte, the central figure of Alex Haley’s “Roots,” using that story to speak about identity, heritage and dignity. Speaking to Mixtape Madness on release day, DC3 explained: “KUNTA IN UK is a song that signifies how we all have different colours yet bleed the same… Having Stormzy involved was a real honour.” Coverage of the video has also noted the track’s nod to Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright,” placing DC3’s faith-driven writing inside a wider conversation about Black identity and resilience.
The single made an immediate chart impact, debuting at No. 3 on the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart dated September 11 and remaining listed into October. DC3 also performed on the new series of BBC Two’s “Later… with Jools Holland,” which began October 11 from Alexandra Palace, taking his music to one of British television’s most respected music stages.
The momentum builds on a breakthrough run that has already set DC3 apart: he is the first independent Christian artist to win both Best Gospel Act and Best Newcomer at the MOBO Awards. With a major-licensed single, a Stormzy co-sign and a national TV performance, “Kunta In UK” marks the moment that rise became impossible to ignore.

Manitoba singer-songwriter Jordan St. Cyr gave listeners a double portion on May 1, releasing two new singles through BEC Recordings: “The Storyteller Man” and “Wild Love.” Both tracks were produced by Paul Mabury, and together they frame the two sides of St. Cyr’s songwriting, the storyteller and the worshipper, in a single release day.
“The Storyteller Man,” written by St. Cyr with Paul Duncan and Paul Mabury, points to the greatest story ever told and the one who told it best. “There ain’t no better storyteller man than Jesus,” St. Cyr says of the song’s heart, a line that sums up his approach to writing: plainspoken, narrative and anchored in the character of Christ. Its companion, “Wild Love,” written with AJ Pruis and Jonathan Gamble, chases the other direction, celebrating a grace that pursues people wherever they run. As St. Cyr puts it, “No one can outrun the love of God.”
The double release kept a busy 2026 rolling for the Juno Award-winning artist. St. Cyr, who won the Juno for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year in 2023, followed the May singles with “Pray For You” on July 24, with further songs “Every Reason To Believe” and “Hands To The Sky” also arriving through the year.
From his Manitoba base, St. Cyr has become one of Canadian Christian music’s most consistent voices, writing songs that work as well in a small-town church as on national radio. “The Storyteller Man” and “Wild Love” continue that run, two more chapters from a songwriter who knows exactly whose story he is telling.
