The duo is known to be working with new artists likePlan B and Clare Maguire.
"We're known for working with new artists such as PlanB and that's what really excites us. On the album we've workedwith Clare Maguire who just has this amazing voice and willappeal to everyone Mali, Delilah and Tempa T, all of whomare wicked," added Milton, 29.
