Idris Elba Reveals 'The YARDIE Mixtape' With "King Fox" Featuring Newham Generals


May 22, 2019

After releasing his directorial debut movie of the same name last year, Idris Elba has taken things further by announcing a mixtape inspired by the film. Titled Idris Elba Presents: The YARDIE Mixtape, the award-winning actor, DJ, producer and rapper has now dropped "King Fox" featuring grime legends Newham Generals, after he himself most recently featured on Wiley's chart-bothering hit "Boasty" with Stefflon Don and Sean Paul.

The song serves as the second single from the project which will consist of 10 tracks and include features from artists such as Chip, Toddla T and now Newham Generals, among others. The track captures the essence of grime so well that it could've been a loose cut from the past, making the mixtape that much more of an exciting release.

With a June 21 drop date, it shouldn't be long before more news about the project is revealed. For now, though, stream "King Fox" below.
