After reaching the finals on the UK’s version of The X Factor, hip-hop duo MK1 are now turning their success into a burgeoning music career, releasing their debut single, “Let Go.” Produced by Skripture, the track is built on a breezy, synth-heavy beat that will surely be played in more than a few cars with their tops down.  Flowing effortlessly over the summertime, string-drenched beat, the group, made up of Charlie Rundle, and Simeon ‘Sim’ Dixon, shows exactly why they have the nation buzzing with their tongue-in-cheek rhymes.

 “It’s about letting go of everything that is on your mind and escaping to your own little place,” Charlie tells RESPECT. Sim Dixon added: “It’s about letting go of all insecurities, worries and negativity and living life to the fullest without regret.” If you’re feeling this poignant introduction, more brightness awaits on MK1’s debut album. Listen to “Let Go” below.
