LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — UK-based producer, songwriter and artist KaniBeatz joins forces with PK, a member of the influential London grime collective YGG, on Popsicle, a vibrant new single that brings together melodic production, authentic UK club energy and infectious songwriting.

Built around playful melodies, energetic percussion and PK’s unmistakable vocal delivery, Popsicle blends elements of UK Garage, Afrobeats, House and Grime into a colourful summer record designed equally for streaming platforms, festival stages and DJ sets. Rather than following a single genre, the collaboration reflects the increasingly blurred lines between contemporary UK dance music, rap and melodic songwriting.

For KaniBeatz, Popsicle represents a natural evolution of his sound. Following the release of Mr Man featuring Nigerian stars Joeboy and Teni, the new single continues his exploration of UK club music while retaining the melodic instincts that have become a defining characteristic of his production.

PK brings years of experience from the UK’s underground music scene. As a member of YGG (You Get Grime), he helped shape the resurgence of grime during the mid 2010s, performing alongside artists including AJ Tracey and later collaborating with producer IZCO. His unmistakable vocal style brings authenticity, energy and personality to Popsicle, creating a natural contrast with KaniBeatz’s polished production.

For KaniBeatz, the collaboration is also the fulfilment of a long-standing ambition. Having followed PK’s career for years and watched him perform alongside AJ Tracey during the UK’s grime resurgence, working together had always been something he hoped would happen. When the opportunity finally arose, both artists quickly found a creative chemistry, with PK’s delivery naturally complementing KaniBeatz’s colourful production style.

Supporting the release is a visual-first campaign designed for today’s social media landscape. Professionally produced content filmed across London introduces the vibrant world of Popsicle, before a second chapter filmed in Morocco expands the campaign through luxury lifestyle visuals featuring villas, yachts and coastal scenery. The wider rollout includes editorial pitching, radio promotion, DJ servicing, creator partnerships and targeted digital advertising across the UK.

Popsicle has already attracted encouraging feedback from respected figures within the music industry including Joeboy, who previously collaborated with KaniBeatz on Mr Man, Vinny Shiels of Goodlife Management and Denis Menendez of the Menendez Brothers.

Bringing together melodic songwriting, vibrant club production and authentic grime heritage, Popsicle introduces a collaboration that feels equally at home on streaming playlists, festival stages and in DJ sets, while reflecting the continued evolution of contemporary UK club music.

“I’ve been a fan of PK’s music for years, so bringing our worlds together on Popsicle felt like a full-circle moment. The goal was never to chase a trend, we just wanted to create something colourful, energetic and rooted in the UK club sounds we’ve both grown up with. I hope it’s the kind of record people have on repeat all summer.” -KaniBeatz
