A true tastemaker within British music, KJ Spio is one of the few names seamlessly integrating two cultures and worlds together.

Harnessed with a hip-moving production from Crumz [Krept & Konan, Tion Wanye, Swarmz, Tinie Tempah, Mr Eazi, Big Shaq], KiDi opens the track with his signature silky vocals and infectious melodies.
Detailing a night of passion with a fellow love interest, KiDi’s artistry is swiftly complimented by Stalk Ashley’s slick penmanship offering the woman’s perspective. Laced with buttery harmonies, “Heat” is the ultimate sultry anthem that instantly commands your attention. As we continue to embrace the summer months, KJ Spio re-iterates his trailblazing status with yet another irresistible spin.
When asked how the single came about KJ Spio stated,
“KiDi and myself have been working on several records together in the studio in search of a new sound which fuses classic Ghana highlife music with R&B. Through the process we came up with a few records including ‘Heat’, I tried several vocalist’s on the feature but Stalk Ashley, someone I always wanted to work with, came up with the sweetest melodies and vocals.”
