‘Lay Down Your Weapons’ featuring Rita Ora

released 3rd March 2013 

RCA/Roc Nation artist K.Koke has announced he will play London’s Scala on Tuesday 16th April following the release of single ‘Lay Down Your Weapons’ featuring Rita Ora. Tickets for the show go on sale at 9am on Friday 25th January priced at £9 (subject to booking fee) from www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk 

K.Koke’s hard-hitting, old school style has created an underground buzz that rippled all the way across the Atlantic. The first British rapper to be personally signed by the legendary Jay Z to Roc Nation, Koke represents UK hip hop’s coming of age and its brightest hope. 

If you like your rap raw, intense, angry, vulnerable, boastful, scary, funny, emotional and so truthful that it hurts, then get ready for something special. RCA/Roc Nation recording artist K.Koke is all that and more. His new single ‘Lay Down Your Weapons’ featuring Roc Nation label mate Rita Ora, is out March 3rd. Recently nominated for an MTV Brand New for 2013, 4Music Fresh for 2013 as well as a brace of press tips, 2013 looks set to be the year for K.Koke.  

His debut album I Aint Perfect is due out Summer 2013 and will feature guest slots from Rita Ora, Maverick Sabre, Emeli Sande and production from Jahlil Beats, Naughty B and others. “I’ve got so much stuff in my head right now. I’ve had to soak it all up, the case, my feelings, everything that’s been surrounding me. I just need to get it all out, then I think I’ll be alright. I’m gassed up, I’m jumping, I’m ready to explode. Real soon.”
