Konata Small x Disciple Theory Delivers Masterful Tune ‘With A Bang’
Konata Small is world-renowned for his artistic development and curation of a diverse catalog of music within hip-hop and gospel. His potent wordplay, illustrative storytelling, and unique ability to seamlessly tread to push musical boundaries.
Konata Small proudly presents his new single ‘With A Bang’ featuring Disciple Theory. Gliding across genre infusions of hip-hop, gospel, and cinematic soundscapes, the latest offering is a vibrant release showcasing both respected artists’ finest talents.
‘With A Bang’ is a well-produced song that complements Konata Small and Disciple Theory’s compelling performance in terms of sound. The lyrics’ vivid story is nicely complemented by the lively soundtrack created by the infectious rhythms. The song exhibits his knowledge of a range of auditory genres by deftly blending melodic rap components with hip-hop elements.
On the single, Konata Small says, ””With A Bang” is a song that speaks on the beginning of things. One of the pivotal moments in my life happened in Brooklyn, New York. This was when I was a bystander to a shootout as a preteen. The event was the catalyst for change that eventually moved me to South Florida which is where I met God, and where I was introduced to the talent that I yield now in Hip-Hop as an artist/songwriter/rapper. So for me, it all started with a bang. This is my story.”

Stephan Folkes Shines on Reflective New Single ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’

Stephan Folkes returns with a transcendent new release, ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’, and it’s clear the London-based artist is charting his own course through the cosmos of contemporary music. Following the critical success of his debut single ‘Say It Like You Mean It’, Stephan’s latest offering is a richly layered, genre-defying meditation on time, adversity, and personal growth.
A self-described “Visionist” and “King of Fantasy,” Folkes approaches music with a rare kind of fearlessness. His newest single doesn’t chase trends—it questions them. From the very first note, Stephan draws listeners into a reflective space, encouraging them to consider the lessons learned from life’s most difficult moments.
“Music should be a space for self-reflection,” Stephan says, and ‘It’s All Within Time’ lives up to that mission. Carried by his velvety vocals—reminiscent of George Michael at his most heartfelt—Stephan weaves a soundscape that blends soft rock, R&B, jazz, funk, and ambient pop with effortless finesse. The result is a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking, dreamy yet grounded.
Lyrically, the track urges listeners to embrace their journey in its entirety. It’s not just about where you’re going—it’s about how you’ve grown through the fire. There’s something deeply empowering in that message, and Stephan delivers it with authenticity and grace.
Born and raised in Leytonstone, East London, Stephan’s music is deeply rooted in personal experience. Surviving a life-threatening hospitalization at five and a near-drowning in his youth, he emerged with a profound sense of purpose—one that pulses through every word and every chord. Since beginning his journey in music at just 11, he’s grown into a full-fledged artist, working alongside industry talents like Nick Michaels (Bethnal) and producer Phil Curran.
With a strong presence online and plans to bring his message to the stage across the UK, ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’ marks a powerful new chapter for Stephan Folkes. It’s not just a song—it’s a reminder to honour your past, trust the timing of your life, and never be afraid to walk your own path.
