UK Rap Star 1sun Reveals Latest Hit Single “2A.M”

Rising Luton rapper 1sun has unveiled his latest single, “2A.M”, in collaboration with south London rapper Vic Prince. 1sun has been building his catalogue for several years with a series of well-received releases, such as 2020’s “Brotherhood” with Si Phili, and latest release “2A.M” looks set to see him continue his rise and break new ground.
The afroswing-infused rap track impresses with its fusion of different styles. Vic Prince, who is originally from Marbella, Spain, sets off the track by tapping into his heritage and rapping in Spanish while 1sun raps in English, with his dynamic cadence and impeccable delivery on full display. The two styles merge perfectly and are complemented by the track’s infectious hook and strong melodic presence that resonates throughout. An anthem for the summer, “2A.M” arrives alongside an equally impressive music video directed by DUST.
Speaking further on the new release, 1sun says, “My inspiration for the track is like the chorus says, explaining to someone you care about that you want to show them who you are – not just words. Vic and I tapped into what we all feel when we want to make a commitment, after the minefield that is modern dating. The song is about growth, maturity, respect and love.
“Vic and I came up with the concept during lockdown, and as soon as we were allowed outside, we made a summer classic. As a Gemini, I got to exercise my creative freedom by having different styles and flows on this track.” “2A.M” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/1sun/2am-feat-vic-prince.

Marz Starlife Makes A Striking First Impression With Healing

Every once in a while, a debut comes along that doesn’t just introduce an artist – it reveals a soul. Marz Starlife’s first EP, Healing, is exactly that. It’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and it doesn’t pretend to have everything figured out. Instead, it leans into the messiness of real life – the mistakes, the heartbreak, the isolation – and tries to make sense of it all through music. Born in Jamaica, raised in the UK, and now back on the island, Marz brings a cross-cultural perspective to his storytelling, but at the heart of Healing is something deeply human: the need to reckon with the past in order to move forward.
Across the project’s standout tracks, Marz doesn’t hold back. In Bad Memories, he opens up about years lost to incarceration, fractured relationships, and the weight of regret. “Spent four birthdays locked up, baby remember me please,” he raps, in a tone that’s both matter-of-fact and aching. The production stays subdued and moody, letting the lyrics breathe. There’s no glorification of the streets here, only reflection. He admits to being young and caught up in the chase for fast money, but he also shows growth, making it clear that he’s not the same person he once was. It’s a track that lingers, not because it tries to be flashy, but because it feels real.
The title track, Healing, is where everything clicks. Marz taps into something almost spiritual as he raps, “I turn pain into power, darkness to light.” The song is layered with poetic lines and subtle emotional shifts, balancing toughness with tenderness. There’s a determination to rise above, even when the scars still sting. He reflects on his upbringing, his time in the streets, and the inner battles he continues to fight. “No shrink can understand how I’m feeling,” he says, and honestly, it’s hard not to believe him. The pain here is too specific, too lived-in. But instead of letting it swallow him, he uses it to fuel something greater.
What’s refreshing about Healing is that it doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one genre or narrative. Marz blends elements of UK hip-hop, Jamaican rhythm, and emotional rap into something that feels uniquely his own. He’s not here to be the loudest or the flashiest; he’s here to be honest. And in a world full of over-produced, over-polished music, that honesty stands out.
With Healing, Marz Starlife has given us more than a debut; he’s given us a mirror into his journey, and maybe even our own. Whether you’ve lived through similar struggles or are just someone who appreciates music with depth and heart, this EP is worth your time. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible, and that sometimes telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.
