Delivering the honesty of rap music, with her unique blend of soul and R&B spirit, RAY BLK announces the release of her upcoming new mini album, Durt, out 28 October.

Durt will include her breakthrough track ‘50/50’ as well as this years epic collaboration ‘My Hood’ featuring Stormzy. Other tracks include ‘Gone’ with Wretch 32 and her new single 'Chill Out' featuring SG Lewis.

Coming off of the back of delivering a truly epic performance of her single ‘My Hood’ last week on BBC 2’s Later… With Jools Holland, RAY speaks of Durt:

"A lot of growing up happened in the year it took me to make this mini-album. These songs are about me becoming an adult and being frank about the experiences that have brought me here."

Taking on a new direction sonically, new track 'Chill Out' truly demonstrates RAY BLK's broad capacity as a young musician. With the upcoming release of Durt it will allow everyone to appreciate the various styles of music that help shape her unique talent.

With two sold out shows this year already under her belt at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen and Bush Hall, RAY BLK recently announced a Village Underground show scheduled for 27 February 2017. Tickets are on sale now.
