South London rapper J. Eka continues his ascent with ‘Galaxy’, a diamond-cut track that balances laidback moodiness with high-energy beats. We’ve been following this artist’s journey since 2024 and recently he came across our radar with the sultry and buoyant number ‘Do U Mind?’. It’s interesting to hear how his sound has veered into darker textures with ‘Galaxy’. Produced by TwinTwo, ‘Galaxy’ rides on gritty club beats, chopped vocal samples and a heavy ambience that immediately sets this one apart from the rest of his discography.

J. Eka’s lyric delivery remains cool and deliberate as he wades through themes of trust, ego and digital exhaustion with a compelling precision. His performance is purposefully composed, displaying a powerful level of restraint as he lays down the truth with a sense of clarity. These honest verses pair well with the danceable beat-driven section which offers a space for hedonistic escapism. ‘Galaxy’ is such a present track, set firmly in UK hip-hop territory and welcoming in listeners with a relaxed confidence. Building on the chemistry of his past tracks, this step into sharper, rhythmic and futuristic territory hints at even greater things to come from J. Eka.
