Guvna B returns with the Black Edi­tion Deluxe of his recent album “every­where + nowhere”, fea­tur­ing six new tracks includ­ing lead single “Very Ori­gin­al” ft D Double E. Pro­duced by TK The Pro­du­cer, “Very Ori­gin­al” is a full circle moment for Guv who has listened and been influ­enced by D Double since as long as he can remem­ber. Inspired by a chapter in his new book, “Very Ori­gin­al” touches on the dam­aging real­ity of neg­at­ive ste­reo­types whilst push­ing to rewrite the script and uplift through chal­len­ging the unjust status quo. 

“every­where + nowhere” is an album that embod­ies every lay­er of Guvna B’s com­plex artistry and it only felt right to fol­low it up in 2021, bring­ing a lock­down album very much into the present. The album is full of unapo­lo­get­ic hon­esty, emo­tion and self reflec­tion and Guv offers insight into poignant top­ics includ­ing; his tur­bu­lent jour­ney, grief, black excel­lence, mas­culin­ity and faith.

Stand out track on the album ‘Bit­ter­sweet’ sees Guv refer to his intern­al struggle after los­ing his fath­er stat­ing “remind­ers all over the home, bet­ter know what I would give for you to pick up the phone”. The emotive chor­us ref­er­en­cing the album title “it’s like you’re every­where and nowhere” is a clear example of what makes him stand out with his abil­ity to nar­rate life’s events and hard hit­ting sub­jects in an intel­li­gent and uni­ver­sally cath­artic way. 

The double-MOBO award win­ning artist has a lot to be proud of, the recent release of his new book, Unspoken: Tox­ic Mas­culin­ity and How I Faced The Man With­in The Man, received an applaud of praise across the board for the under­rep­res­en­ted issues raised. Released on Harp­er Inspire, when speak­ing about the book Guv dis­cusses out­dated phrases such as “stiff upper lip” and “men don’t cry” which are com­monly passed down from gen­er­a­tions and can be hugely det­ri­ment­al to men­tal health and per­son­al growth.

With visu­als for “Very Ori­gin­al” to fol­low shortly, the addi­tion­al tracks include fea­tures from Wretch 32, Madis­on Ryann Ward, Calle­dOut Music, Still Shadey and Tidez.
