Dockem X Malone - Never Knew (official audio)

One of the most exciting duos to emerge from the UK underground scene this year, Dockem & Malone have picked up heat across the likes of VIPER MAGAZINE, Conversations About Her and GRM Daily, as well as significant radio attention from DJ Target, Toddla T, Semtex and BBC Introducing.The duo first grabbed public attention with their single “Get Right”, catching the ear of Semtex and being playlisted on Spotify’s Official Rap UK playlist. It marked the beginning of an accelerated career that’s seen them race to over 100,000 combined streams in this year alone. An assured debut performance at Stormzy’s Merky Festival in Ibiza this summer and their first BBC Introducing Live Lounge performance continues the trajectory Dockem & Malone are creating for themselves.
