Premiere: Novelist links up with JD. Reid for new track Ready

This Friday, JD. Reid returns to Rinse with a brand new five-track EP, Calibrate, the follow-up to last year’s massive io.

Aside from helming his Rinse show every second Monday on the month, the North London beatmaker has built up a rep with productions that explode intersections between grime, trap and hip-hop.

The agility and scope of his sound attracts a wide range of high end collaborators, and Calibrate boasts features from Kojey Radical, Odd Future’s Hodgy and 808INK, Slowthai and Oscar #Worldpeace. Still, we reckon it’s Ready that’s the EP’s true standout. Featuring Lewisham MC Novelist over an OG grime-influenced beat, we’re excited to be hosting the exclusive premiere two days ahead of release. Listen via the player below.

Calibrate lands on Rinse 28 July. Preorder it here.
