I can't find the tweet now but one of f1twt (a barren land)'s greatest early hits was a screengrab of Lewis and Fernando gossiping captioned "gassing with your frenemy about the two new frenemies forming in front of you" and I think about it like 5 times a week to this day
Fernando and Lewis messing around in the infamous 2016 Daniil/Max mid season driver swap press conference because they were barely getting asked questions.
Everyone was serious in the front and then you got these two in the back just simply not caring. 💀

"The unfortunate thing is that because BBC is basically who chooses the lineups for the Reading and Leeds festivals Louis can never be on those lineups."
- an anon on Sea. Sea didn't contradict the anon but just went with it. It's not true though is it? Sorry, I'm not from the UK/Europe.
No, it's not true.

DEJA  - Mo Farah
ack with a sonic twist, DEJA reveals her latest single ‘Leave Me’, a feisty cut which refuses to turn its back on the good vibes of the summer, set to release this November 10th.
‘Leave Me’ is effortlessly powerful – both sonically and sentimentally. With mellow pads and an infectious afro-beat groove providing a bed to DEJA’s sassy vocals, she confidently delivers her message of keeping bad vibes away with the assistance of her indigenous African tongue.
The bar is continually lifted higher with each DEJA release as she demonstrates her innate musicality into various forms, from slow-tempo, hip-swaying R&B, to body-shaking, vibe-instilling afro-beats, illustrating her sheer versatility and unchallenged tenacity. Consistent across all her tracks, the energy of self-worth and self-love permeates as she continues on her one-woman mission of female empowerment.
In her own words, DEJA explains;
“Don’t get me wrong - I’m definitely an extrovert at heart but sometimes I just want to be left in my peace.

Burn Gorman.
Burn Gorman played the spiritually loquacious priest in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice -- who, I have no doubt, keeping with BJ2's 70s vibe, was named after Damien in the 1976 supernatural horror classic, The Omen ( saw what you did there, Burton.)
I've been a fan of his for years. First saw him in an excellent 2005 adaptation of Bleak House.
youtube
He's been in tons of other things. But he's especially excellent in another great adaptation, this one of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. The 3-part 2015 series is worth watching, if for Burn alone.
Heads up for those unfamiliar with the novel: It's quite dark, and this version is even darker. But very well done.

Burn also does stage, including musicals, and he's a musician and beatboxer (seriously; he's even competed and won the title of Radio 1Xtra's Human Beatbox Champion)

L E M F R E C K - 'Come Outside En' Video
Rising Newport artist L E M F R E C K shares the video for his brand new single ‘Come Outside En’, a commanding call to action that captures his poetic lyrical form and ability to effortlessly transcend between hip hop and alternative R&B. The stunning video, filmed in Southerndown on the Welsh coast and impressively self-produced and directed by L E M F R E C K, features an appearance from Skindred’s / Dub WaR legend Benji Webbe.
L E M F R E C K speaks on the track, “It’s a perfect term used in the depths of South Wales when you've had enough of a situation and it’s just time to step outside and have it out. I had reached the end of my patience and decided the only way I was going to get through this was by stepping out”.
‘Come Outside En’ is the first new music from L E M F R E C K since last year’s album Blood, Sweat & Fears, a bold, honest reflection on his Welsh community, alongside the balance of preserving inner peace but also pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. The release saw widespread support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio Wales, Rinse FM, Clash, Viper, Dummy, Notion, WhyNow, The Line Of Best Fit & more. The release culminated in his producing and presenting of acclaimed BBC Documentary ‘Black Music Wales’, a celebration of the incredible talent and legacy from his home region past and present.
Over the weekend, L E M F R E C K was announced as a Welsh Music Prize shortlist nominee for the release of Blood, Sweat and Fears.
L E M F R E C K’s unique blend of introspective lyrics and elegant, grime-infused beats have already gained him a Welsh Music Prize nomination, alongside and a place on BBC Introducing’s Ones to Watch 2021 before being named BBC Radio Wales’s Introducing Artist of the Year in 2023. Additionally, off the back of a North American tour that included SXSW and M for Montreal he has had an incredible live performance journey - selling out The Social in London and Paradise Gardens in Cardiff, alongside performing at The Great Escape and Horizons Gorwelion festivals.
Beyond simply flexing his lyrical muscle, L E M F R E C K’s an ardent supporter of reformulating what it means to be a Black, British rapper. Expect more new music soon.

NEMZZZ FOLLOWS SMASH DEBUT MIXTAPE DO NOT DISTURB WITH BRAND NEW SINGLE ‘ATM’
youtube
The prolific Manchester rapper Nemzzz today drops his new single ‘ATM’. In a fast follow up to his recent debut mixtape DO NOT DISTURB which landed in March and reached #17 in the UK album charts.
Blending cinematic, sweeping orchestral instrumentation spliced with an icy industrial production from Zel, ‘ATM’ is brimming with Nemzzz’s sharp wordplay and playful adlibs as he reflects on his recent successes. 
Nemzzz is fresh from his sell-out second headline tour, hitting stages in Dublin, Glasgow, London (with a surprise drop in from K-Trap) and a homecoming show featuring Central Cee at Manchester Academy - Nemzzz’s biggest show to date in the city. Nemzzz will be returning to Wireless Festival this summer and has a sold-out EU tour set for this October including dates in Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels and more.
Nemzzz’s debut mixtape DO NOT DISTURB landed in March to acclaim from NME (4*/Cover), Hypebeast UK, Wonderland, NOTION, DMY, Acclaim and support from Spotify (Global Hip-Hop Cover, Rap UK Cover), Soundcloud (Album of the Week), Apple Music, YouTube Music and more. 
Tumblr media
The 11-track tape marked Nemzzz’s most expansive drop to date, an exploration of how the young artist is shaped by his upbringing and his fame. Nemzzz surprised fans the week after release, unveiling the Deluxe version featuring collaborations with rap heavyweights from both sides of the Atlantic, including Lil Yachty on the ethereal ‘IT’S US’, Headie One with the bouncy ‘I KNOW YOU CARE’ and  K-Trap on the siren-like ‘MAYFAIR’. The tape has already racked up over 120M+ streams since launch.
Marrying bars laced with Nemzzz’s wicked sense of humour, earworm hooks and a raw soulful-drill production - DO NOT DISTURB cemented Nemzzz’s status as the new titan of UK Rap. On singles including ‘ETA’ (a collaboration with German rap star Luciano), leadback mental health commentary ‘PTSD’ and the shimmering, jazz inflected ‘L’S’, Nemzzz drew acclaim from Central Cee, The Observer, Fader, CRACK, NME spins across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and more. The tape was rounded out by ‘MONEY AND VIBES’, which saw Nemzzz bring UK flavour to a flip of Justin Timberlake’s ‘Rock Your Body’. The single topped the A list at 1Xtra on release last year and continues to rack up over +1M streams a week. 
Nemzzz is one of the most exciting breakout rap talents of recent years. An old head on young shoulders, Nemzzz is relatable in a different way than a lot of his rap peers; driven less by punchlines about Birkin bags and more by the challenge of helping his young fans navigate their way through growing pains. The rapper is shaped by his tough upbringing in Gorton, using his music to reflect on his experiences including heartbreak, fake friends, financial literacy, finding your own path, and managing mental health amid social media addiction.
2023 was a massive year for the young star with a consistent slate of releases including his debut EP Nemzzz Type Beat (which was pulled together in just 17 days in a flex of his innate talents) alongside a string of singles including ‘Therapy’ (Spotify Rap UK Cover) and ‘8AM IN MANNY’ which landed to props from some of the biggest rappers in the world - Drake and Lil Yachty. Last year saw Nemzzz deliver his first sold-out headline tour alongside performances at festivals including Glastonbury, Ibiza Rocks and more. 
Tumblr media
Since bursting onto the scene at the tender age of 14, Nemzzz has relentlessly chipped away at his craft – building steady buzz amongst the industry, media and fans alike. With over 180M combined streams in 2023, 9 Million TikTok views, tips including BBC Radio 1xtra's Hot For 2023, Amazon Music x Hunger Magazine Ones To Watch, No Signal Class of ’23, Best Newcomer Nominee MOBO Awards 2022, plaudits from Pitchfork, The Face, DAZED, The Guardian, HYPEBEAST, CLASH, Complex UK and NME - Nemzzz is making serious moves.

hi queen, could you maybe give some insight on how you got into the motorsport social media world, for people who are maybe interested in that career?
hello anon, sorry this is probably gonna get long
so the short version is: I was already working in social media for Radio 1/1xtra/2/6 so handling some pretty big accounts etc. after that I wrote additional social content for Netflix shows and then I moved on to some big motorsport ones.
which is a boringly unhelpful answer because 'just already be a producer at the BBC' is not really a career path.
that said, I do know how it works.
the first thing is: social media is a broad genre. you should take some time to work out what kind of social you like making; if you're into graphic design, for instance, that's a social media job but so is writing TikTok scripts or posting as a brand or driver.
I would recommend making some kind of low pressure account and using it to mess around. give yourself a chance to find out what you're good at, if you're not going in knowing - me, I can write and I can produce but I'm not an enthusiastic or quick video editor and graphic design is definitely not my passion.
once you've worked out what you want to do, start at grassroots. there's going to be a point (this is the way with all passion fields) where you have to gain some experience by working for free. there's two ways to do this: find a grassroots motorsport thing (a person, an event, a Formula Student team, whatever) and propose doing their social media. a lot of drivers keep the same social media agency as they go all the way up the ladder (Lando's done this, for instance) so it can be a route to bigger things in and of itself. but most importantly it can get you experienced in negotiating the world of motorsport social media - how to deal with things like broadcast rights and where you can and can't film in a paddock, how to drive engagement and interact with fans, etc.
the other option is to start a project account. something like The Female Drive, which is run by a Sauber engineer. that's a really good example of an account that shows obvious skill in producing social content without creating an unreasonable work burden. the account becomes both something that you own, as its own little motorsport property and a showcase for what you can do. it's a really good way to start getting yourself accreditation or being noticed. on a bigger scale but still coming from that grassroots start, Parc Fermé have made a major success launching their agency like that, due on a major level to Lids' incredible photography but it shows the worth of going down that route and basically creating your own job.
if what you want to do is present TikTok, obviously, then you just need to start doing that and working on improving. make the type of content you want to make - that won't be interviewing Max Verstappen from the outset but you can find other ways to make it work. be creative, use your friends, do the things you'd like to watch.
the third way, which you should not do, is working what should be a paid role. a good (well, bad) example of this is this Formula Nerds recruitment ad that I saw earlier today. under UK law, you can't be a volunteer with responsibilities and volunteer roles, which are actually very regulated, have to be demonstrably beneficial to the holder. it's also just extremely shitty that people ask people to work for free; if your publication isn't making enough money, you do that yourself and you can hire people when it is.
if you want to gain experience in a professional setting, look out for internship schemes. you'll be better placed if you can show them examples of your work, which is why it's good to do that earlier experience but they should be regulated, clearly marked as an internship and paid. motorsport is a multibillion-dollar industry where even at the lowest levels thousands of pounds are changing hands, you do not work for free unless it's for yourself.
some good people to look out for opportunities with are Rosie from 115dgrs, Lois at MP, Revolution Comms, Influence Associates and Pace Six Four.
