George The Poet, Maverick Sabre & Jorja Smith Join Forces

Here’s a mind-blowing collaboration for your February: George The Poet (who I’ve been a massive fan of since this), the always-amazing Maverick Sabre and Jorja Smith (who is soon to be a household name thanks to Black Panther and Drake) have teamed up for the powerful new track “Follow The Leader.” The “dreamlike,” South London-shot clip that accompanies it — directed by Stephen Isaac-Wilson — comes courtesy of i-D, who explained the song:

…the three muse over how easy it is to get stuck in a continuous cycle and the importance of being accountable for your own decisions, over a minimal bouncing production. “It’s about how problems can persist and keep going around in circles because people are too scared to stand up and do their own thing,” Jorja said of the track over email.
