Smoke With Me

Konny Kon & Tyler Daley met back in 2005, after both performing a show near Paris in their respective crews, Broke 'N' £nglish and Body Roq. The duo met up back home in Manchester, spurred on initially by a mutual admiration of 80s & 90s Mancunian pirate radio, street soul, hip hop, lover's rock and each others music.

A few years later, Tyler approached Konny about producing a full EP together. Children of Zeus was born. These sessions included the creation of a track called 'Still Standing', which ultimately saw the light of day last Summer on First Word. Still a highlight in their live sets, the Lenzman rub won "Best Remix" at the 2016 Drum & Bass Awards.

As they've grown within the family of Manchester's music scene, they've provided a tonic to the city's bass-orientated club scene, breathing Soul back into the city, whilst maintaining their heritage of Hip Hop swagger. As an MC, Konny takes no prisoners, whilst Tyler (a prolific MC in his own right) has gained a rep as one of the UK's strongest Soul voices. Both artists have been blessed with the talent of beat-making. A combined craftsmanship upon the boards and in the booth.

From building a grassroots following of fans, they've since travelled the globe, sharing stages with giants and catching the ear of peers far and wide, from Pete Rock to Zed Bias. As well as hosting their own monthly radio show on NTS, they've collaborated with numerous Hip Hop acts, both sides of the Atlantic, as well as Soul royalty in the form of Caron Wheeler and Drum'n'Bass legends, such as Goldie (Tyler featuring heavily across his latest album).

This new track 'Smoke With Me' speaks for itself and is a taste of what's to come from Children of Zeus - raw, gritty, Hip Hop Soul music.
