Raye has released six-track EP ‘Side Tape’.
The ‘You Don’t Know Me’ hitmaker teamed up with some of the hottest urban talent on the project – which includes the hit song ‘Cigarette’ featuring Mabel and Stefflon Don – out today (04.05.18).
RAY BLK and Kojo Funds feature on lead track ‘Crew’, with Maleek Berry, Nana Rogues, Mr Eazi, Avelino and Steel Banglez collaborations also included.

The star recently showed her versatility as an artist and performer when she surprised fans at rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars’ London concert at The O2 in March, joining Jared Leto and co on stage for an impromptu duet of their song ‘Dangerous Night’.
