Joe Armon-Jones teams up with the New-York born, London-based rapper Goya Gumbani on new single ‘Fix It’. A laid back summer jam where hip hop intertwines with jazz as Joe’s melodic keys coalesce with Goya’s mellow flow.

South East London is where both artists reside and remain active in the local scene, as Goya explains: “We are products of our environment. Hither Green is a community that’s open and inclusive to all that walk thru the area. I spent many days and nights in Joe's house & The Room Studios reflecting and having enlightening dialogue. The song for me is a statement of community and the part music plays within it.”

'Pray’ features Morgan Simpson of Black Midi on drums alongside Luke Wynter of Nubiyan Twist on bass. Released on 10” vinyl with an exclusive vinyl only track on the b-side ‘Nothing Move’, and the artwork is by regular collaborator Divya Scialo.

“Pray was an outtake at the end of a long day of recording dubs with Morgan and Luke, it was an idea I had written in the morning before they arrived and because there was half an hour left at the end of the session we ran a take of this and Pray is what came out.”
