At a time when borders are hardening and politics seem determined to divide, music keeps building bridges. That’s exactly what happens in “Hackney”, the new collaboration between Tennin, the independent French artist and St3ph, UK rapper and producer.
Born in the raw creative energy of Hackney Bridge in East London, the track is an artistic encounter and a statement about the free circulation of sound, ideas, and emotion. Produced by St3ph and released via Korda.co, “Hackney” merges the pulse of UK Garage and London Hip-Hop with the dreamlike, introspective textures of the French alternative R&B scene.
In a context where Brexit has come to symbolize cultural and political separation, Tennin and St3ph prove that creativity has no passport. Their collaboration shows how music naturally overcomes imposed limits, creating common ground where artists and audiences meet.
“Hackney” is a bold reminder that art continues to move freely, carrying with it a luminous, unifying energy. Tennin and St3ph demonstrate that culture doesn’t stop at borders — it redraws them, erases them, and transcends them.
