Today, KSI – Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji releases his highly anticipated sophomore album All Over The Place; 2021’s follow up to his debut LP Dissimulation which made him the biggest selling U.K. breakthrough of 2020. The new album marks the arrival of a new chapter for KSI with solo hit singles and features from Anne-Marie, Craig David, YUNGBLUD and more.
KSI says: “I’m super excited for the people to hear this album. I’ve improved on everything I did with Dissimulation. The singing has improved. The writing has improved. The beats have more layers to them, I’m a lot more experimental, I’m way more comfortable on the mic etc. This album reflects a lot of hard work and passion combined and I’m really proud to be releasing it.”

All Over The Place is available on all streaming platforms, CD, cassette, and vinyl via BMG / RBC Records HERE. Album bundles with exclusive merchandise including signed photos and limited-edition gold disc CDs are also available.
Watch the new official video for “Number 2” featuring hip hop heavyweights Future and 21 Savage from Midnight tonight (AEST) HERE
“Number 2 is a song where the stars aligned. From getting Future’s verse to 21 Savage’s verse ya boy the impossible and brought them together on a banger. With me on the chorus and a verse of my own, I bring both artists together in a unique way. Enjoy people.”
Last Friday, KSI exclusively performed his fastest selling single “Holiday” which appears on the album on BBC The One Show which debuted at #2 on the Official UK Charts earlier this month.

About KSI
Hitting number two in the UK album chart and with over a billion streams, in Dissimulation KSI creates space for both his public persona and the personal: big hit features with the likes of Rick Ross and Lil Baby (Down Like That) and AJ Tracey (Tides) sit alongside more intimate, honest tracks. No stranger to defying expectations, Dissimulation received critical acclaim. Clash labelled it “an excellent body of work”; “he’s absolutely smashed it” proclaimed Metro.
It’s no surprise that KSI has been seen on the cover of The Sunday Times Magazine, The Sunday Times Culture, Music Week; The Observer Magazine, Viper and Notion. Other labels and artists want a piece of the KSI pie too: just look to the success of his features on S1mba’s Loose and Nathan Dawe’s BRIT nominated Lighter.
With his second album out now, a 2021 tour which sold out in seconds including a headline show at The SSE Arena Wembley, the launch of his own label and a single with Craig David (Really Love), Anne-Marie (Don’t Play) and YUNGBLUD (Patience), KSI has proven that music is very much his domain.
KSI brings with him the unrelenting work ethic and infectious energy which YouTube instilled in him. Despite his debut’s success, he’s certain Dissimulation just scratched the surface: the next record, he’s clear, will showcase his artistry’s further progression again. Given FAULT Magazine described KSI as “one of 2019’s biggest success stories – “an emergent hip-hop star” said The i – all eyes will be on his follow up. KSI’s task – writes The Observer – is “not just to make “YouTube rap” but the real thing”. Their verdict? “Mission accomplished.”
All Over The Place, the new album from KSI
via BMG UK / RBC Records is out now.

AMNPLIFY – JC
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
