Renowned London rapper Eneeks is once again poised to captivate music enthusiasts with his latest soul-stirring release, “What It Feels Like”, featuring the soulful vocals of MOBO finalist Zitah. This new single, which is taken from his soon-to-be-released album G.I.N.A, is a heartfelt exploration of the trials and triumphs one encounters while relentlessly pursuing their dreams.

Known for his poignant lyricism and unwavering dedication to authentic storytelling, Eneeks has carved a distinct niche in the realm of hip-hop. “What It Feels Like” serves as a testament to his mastery of the craft, as he pens an emotional letter through his verses, narrating the tumultuous journey of chasing aspirations.

Zitah adds an extra dimension to the track. Her velvety vocals seamlessly intertwine with Eneeks’ raw verses, creating a musical synergy that beautifully encapsulates the emotional core of the song. Their collaboration embodies the seamless blend of rap and soulful melodies, resulting in a dynamic and emotionally charged listening experience.

Speaking about “What It Feels Like”, Eneeks says, “Every line of ‘What It Feels Like’ is a reflection of my own journey – the highs, the lows, the doubts and the moments of unshakeable conviction. Zitah’s voice added a layer of depth to the song that I couldn’t have imagined.

“This was the last song I created for my upcoming album, G.I.N.A, and I wanted to record something that uplifted my aspirations. The song is all about facing your struggles and fears, while at the same time daring to dream and be inspired to live in your own truth regardless of your circumstances. It’s a motivational love letter to people with big dreams dealing with the trial and tribulations of everyday life.” Produced by DTSoul, the track’s captivating beats, skilfully woven together, create an immersive sonic backdrop that complements the powerful storytelling.

Eneeks’ ability to channel raw emotions into his music has garnered him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim throughout his career, previously collaborating with the likes of Raheem DeVaughn, Omar Lye-Fook MBE and Sabrina Washington. With “What It Feels Like”, he once again proves his prowess in crafting music that resonates on a deeply personal level, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys and the pursuit of their aspirations. “What It Feels Like” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

Kendu 718 is taking over the scene with his latest single “Gritty,” produced by Juxx Diamondz of Back Block Music Group LLC. The NY rapper shows off his signature blend of storytelling and lyricism woven with slick metaphors. He’s simply writing bars and putting out heat; his deliverance though is aggressive and slightly intimidating; true NY style. Stream “Gritty” and get to know Kendu 718 in the interview below.

MJ: Before we jump into your new single “Gritty,” take a moment to let the world know who Kendu 718 is.

Kendu 718: Kendu 718 is someone who really lives what he talks about. I come from the pain of the ghetto—both my mother and father struggled with drug addiction, and growing up, all I saw was crime, poverty, and hardship. That was my environment. But through God’s grace, I was able to change my life. I left the streets behind 17 years ago, and I’ve been clean and abstinent from drugs and alcohol ever since.

MJ: When I think of gritty New York Hip Hop, you fit the mark. Define your lane in Hip Hop.

Kendu 718: I’m part of the culture, this isn’t something I picked up, it’s something I’ve lived. Hip-hop is a lifestyle, not just something you do in the studio. I’m not chasing trends or trying to fit into what’s popular. I represent authenticity, experience, and real New York energy. I’ve been doing this for years, and my lane is staying true to the essence of the culture.

MJ: Let’s talk about the new single “Gritty.” What can listeners expect once they hit play?

Kendu 718: The truth. Straight up. Real-life stories that reflect what I’ve been through and what I’ve seen in the streets. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it shows survival. When you hit play, you’re stepping into reality—no gimmicks, no filters. “Gritty” is my story. It’s everything I lived and everything I witnessed. But more importantly, it’s a message—just because we come from struggle doesn’t mean we have to stay there. We can grow, change, and build responsible, productive lives.

MJ: How did you link up with Juxx Diamondz and Back Block Music Group LLC?

Kendu 718: That connection goes back. I met Juxx through a mutual friend—rest in peace to the OG Benny Hill from Harlem, who managed both of us around 2011–2012. That foundation built real chemistry, and from there, everything developed naturally.

MJ: Can audiences anticipate a visual to “Gritty?”

Kendu 718: Definitely. Me and Juxx Diamondz are currently putting the treatment together now. The visual is going to match the energy of the track—raw, authentic, and true to the story.

MJ: What is next for Kendu 718? What are you currently working on?

Kendu 718: Right now, I’m working on my EP titled From God’s Mouth to Y’all Ears: The Sermon. It’s produced by myself and Juxx Diamondz, with additional production from SaulyOBeats, SkullzAngels, and my guy Dreadful Krueger. Everybody brought heat to the project. We also have some dope features on it.

MJ: Give audiences a little more insight into the sound and movement behind the project.

Kendu 718: We’re putting this out independently through Back Block Music Group, with distribution through Roc Nation. The project is a combination of strong lyricism, real-life storytelling, and powerful features. We represent that golden era sound—we’re keeping that foundation alive. And we’re always boots on the ground, staying connected to the people and the culture.

MJ: Let everyone know where they can find your music and stay connected.

Kendu 718: You can find my music on all digital streaming platforms. Follow me @Kendu_718 on Instagram to stay locked in. This is just the beginning—it’s going to be a hot summer. Peace.
