After hitting the million mark with Section Boyz on Sun Goes Down, Belly Squad begin their new year with a video release for the playful and melodic Long Time. The trio, comprising of Ty Jombla, Yung Max and Ross Jombla, have thrived in a blend where Afrobeats meets London colloquialisms, creating comparisons that have been likened to east’s J Hus.
However, the group continue to demonstrate the difference in their particular brand of suave and street sounds, collectively and solely, with Ty impressing on hooks, and Yung Max grabbing full control on lead verses. Last and by no means least, Ross, complements the trio in his ability to interchange between both, with an ease that underpins Belly Squad’s essence.
Since adding to UK Rap archives with their 2017 EP (Banana), there has been keen interest in the next body of work. A second EP? An album? Whatever the next move is, they say you should start as you mean to go on. Year of the Belly? We hope so.
Check out the music video for Long Time above, which captures the group’s laid-back yet vibrant energy.
