WHAT IT IS: The U.K. invasion looks set to take an even more unimaginable twist with this English hip-hop duo. In a previously unforeseen U.K. move, they’ve locked down U.S. urban acts Rick Ross, YG, Wiz Khalifa and Jeremih for their album, due in July, as a testament to their talent and global sales potential. Further guests on the album include Kanye’s man in London, Skepta, along with Emeli Sande and Ed Sheeran. The album already topped the iTunes U.K. chart when its pre-order became available.
