This is what summer hip-hop should sound like.

Two of the UK's finest - producer & multi-instrumentalist edbl and rapper Kofi Stone teamed up for "Lena". Based on bossa-nova-like warm guitars, a catchy beat and pulsating keys, the song has Kofi Stone's recognisable flow & smooth vocals, reflecting on a real-life experience.

Kofi elaborates, "Not at all a super confident person, but one time in Kingston Upon Thames, after my shift at work I built the courage up to chat to a lady that caught my eye on the Southern Western Rail. I wanted to capture the experience of two people meeting and take the listener on a journey. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

"Lena" is part of edbl's upcoming 2010 hip-hop mixtape releasing on July 12th, with amazing artists like Jayahadadream, IYAMAH, KeepVibesNear & more.
