Ahead of the release of his new mixtape British Black Music, Jim Legxacy has dropped “aggressive”, his first release on new label home XL Recordings. The song is described as a call back to the greats of the past, sampling Chip’s classic “Oopsy Daisy.” The single is accompanied by a video, directed by Fidel, that was shot entirely on a Blackberry. em>British Black Music drops in 2025.

Earlier this summer, Jim released “nothings changed (!)” – a song for his sister who tragically passed away almost a year ago. A huge loss for himself and his close family, Jim took time out to channel his grief into his writing. The power and restorative force of doing so helped him get through such sadness. He launched the single with a hugely-praised debut live show at The Albany in Deptford, surrounded by friends, family (mum with a front row seat) and day one fans. A magical evening that showcased the magnitude of Jim’s realness and rapturous appeal amongst peers and admirers, it was here that Jim announced his upcoming mixtape project Black British Music (2024).

Newly signed to XL Recordings, Jim is due to release the mixtape next year. Black British Music (2024) is a depiction of Jim’s experience of living and surviving in South East London as he navigates the ever-changing personal, socio-political and musical landscape with the positive support of his tight friendship network. Jim’s evolved, yet still unique and arresting sound continues to draw influence from r’n’b, pop, grime, midwest emo, afro beats and alternative and marks him as one of the most culturally important artists the UK has to offer.

Music has always formed part of Jim’s identity. His artistic journey properly began in 2018, dropping multiple singles and two longer form projects (Dynasty, Citadel) which displayed his artistic growth, versatility, and vulnerability, all whilst battling homelessness. 2023 saw him release his latest mixtape Homeless N*gga Pop Music. Fans of Jim Legxacy include Dave, Stormzy, Central Cee, Headie One, Skepta, Loski, Jack Harlow and recently Fred again.. who brought Jim in to collaborate on “ten” for his latest album ten days.
