London-based rapper and producer Brian Nasty announces the upcoming release of his two-part mixtape Anywhere, But Here With You, with the first instalment set for release on 29th November via Big Dada.

The mixtape reflects on the last three years of Brian's life, capturing a transitional period marked by personal growth and the challenges that he's faced, both internal and external. Brian explains, “This project is an amalgamation of the things I should have said, could have said, tried to say, but didn’t—and couldn’t get right when it mattered.”

The project features notable collaborators, including Felix of Paris Texas, Wiki, and Joe Armon-Jones of Ezra Collective to name just a few. A series of short films will be released alongside the mixtape, each set in a different city, emphasising the universal experience of internal struggles influenced by external circumstances.

The lead single, 'Here With You' offers a taste of this, with a music video directed by Anthony Yano Hays, filmed in Tokyo. It’s about those moments when you bump into someone you’d rather avoid, but end up saying what’s on your mind anyway, even if it’s not the best time or place. The video follows Brian as he explores the vibrant people and places of Tokyo, capturing the city’s unique energy.
