A full circle moment that salutes Jamal Edwards MBE…

30 · 10 · 2023

Seminal UK rapper Devlin links with Ed Sheeran on new single ‘The Great British Bar Off’.

The new single was teased on socials over the past week, a high profile return from the rapper. The release follows Devlin’s highly-acclaimed release with Chip, and comes ahead of his incoming album, simply titled ‘James Devlin’.

The single is a full circle moment, with Devlin and Ed Sheeran combining to salute the life and work of Jamal Edwards MBE. In a neat twist, the release is supported by SBTV, the platform Jamal founded and lead to huge success.

Both artists owe a huge debt to Jamal, and ‘The Great British Bar Off’ is a fun, but sometimes moving, salute. Devlin says: “Me and Ed back-to-back on this one feels nostalgic, a lot of fun to write and a homage to Jamal Edwards.”

The video is out now, and it takes Devlin back to the site of his breakout F64 clip, recorded for SBTV over a decade ago.

Nicky Caulfield, Managing Director of SBTV, adds:

“It’s been a real honour to have been part of the release of Devlin and Ed’s new track. Returning to exact location of Devlin’s F64’s for SBTV 13 years ago”.
