Birmingham-based label The Maffia release one of the biggest collaborations to come out of the UK music scene this year BAD MAN, featuring Sneakbo, SafOne & Ambush

Ready to take Black British music by storm The Maffia is headed up by one of UK music’s most innovative Musical Creative Directors with a successful career spanning over 10 years where he has aided some of the UK’s best artists to shape their brands such as Lotto Boyzz, Mist, and Sneakbo.

‘Badman’ is one of those records that comes around every once in a while and is instantly memorable. One of the UK scene’s most influential artists Sneakbo opens up the track, followed by Birmingham’s very own heavy-hitter SafOne with his raw lyricism, it complements Sneakbo’s wavy flow followed by Ambush who comes in with his synonymous high octane greazy flow. The accompanying visual from the opening scene has a more film narrative than just a music video, with a storytelling aspect to it.

Speaking on the release Maf says

“Bad Man is a representation of unity amongst different cities and a play on words wherein our world everything said has a backward meaning i.e ‘Bad Man’ = A man who will do any/everything to win”.

The Maffia pride themselves on the music being in favour of the artist rather than the standard 80-20 split record deal. Their first release was ‘Brum Town Anthem’ featuring some of the city’s biggest artists, it was the first time artists such as Trilla, Og Niki, Sox and C4 had all come together for the first time, representing unity and marking a cultural movement for the music scene in Birmingham.

The Maffia also launched The Hard Knock Foundation, a charity that enables students under the age of 21 in Birmingham to access recording studio time and high-quality facilities at a discounted rate, that’s being reinvested into the charity. The Hard Knock Foundation gives over 500 homeless and vulnerable people hot meals every week whilst also helping young and budding musicians further their dreams.

With Maf’s life motto being,

“Unity Matters, together we stand, divided we fall”,

and the aim to expand the label, The Maffia are continuously upping the levels with each release, paving the way to release their debut compilation tape ‘Sounds From The Slums Vol 1’ which is set to launch The Maffia to the world.
