Watch: James Hype Breaks Down His Craig David-Assisted Single ‘No Drama’

James Hype

In September, U.K. DJ/producer James Hype connected with R&B legend Craig David for a feel-good house single, “No Drama.” The track, which reached No. 8 on DJcity UK’s monthly top 20 chart, has gone on to amass 15 million streams. It has also been named a “Future Dance Anthem” by BBC Radio 1’s MistaJam.

We recently stopped by James’ studio in London to see how he made the track. The Liverpool native explained how the song came together and broke down each layer in Ableton Live. He also discussed his creative process and the role that DJcity has played in his career.

Comebacks are rare for veteran rap and R&B artists, but England’s Craig David is set to beat the odds. Following his viral performance on BBC 1Xtra in September, the R&B singer recently revealed to Complex UK that a new album is in the works.
 
According to David, Following My Intuition will feature collaborations with forward-thinking artists like Diplo, Kaytranada, GoldLink, and Chase & Status. The project will be released on MistaJam’s Speakerbox label, which David and his own label JEM Artists recently signed with.
