A Class & Mayhem NODB connect on new single ‘Likkle Smiggle'

Birmingham producer A Class joins forces with grime veteran Mayhem NODB for hard-hitting new single ‘Likkle Smiggle’ - a track that taps directly into the raw spirit and intensity of classic grime.

Built around a dark, stripped-back instrumental, A Class crafts a beat that instantly feels nostalgic without sounding dated. The production leans into the cold, gritty textures that helped define an era of UK underground music, creating the perfect backdrop for Mayhem NODB to remind listeners exactly why his name still carries weight within the scene.

From the very first bar, Mayhem attacks the instrumental with sharp delivery, commanding presence and effortless confidence. It’s the kind of performance that reflects decades of experience within Birmingham’s rap and grime scenes, while still feeling fresh and relevant in today’s landscape.

What makes ‘Likkle Smiggle’ hit so naturally is the chemistry between artist and producer. Rather than overcomplicating the formula, both A Class and Mayhem fully embrace the track’s rawness and direct energy, allowing the essence of grime to speak for itself.

Ahead of the release, the Birmingham producer also announced that he will be curating a dedicated stage at SXSW London on June 5th at Colours Hoxton. Running from 2PM–6PM, the showcase is set to spotlight artists from Birmingham, Manchester, London and other key cities shaping the current UK sound, further reinforcing A Class’ commitment to platforming regional talent and preserving the culture that inspired releases like ‘Likkle Smiggle’.

With this latest collaboration, A Class and Mayhem NODB deliver a reminder of grime’s roots while proving its energy still feels just as powerful today.
