Prospa have shared “Baby,” their new single with Murda Beatz, ahead of their debut album Free Your Mind, out June 5 via CircoLoco Records. The release also carries a bigger label story, since Free Your Mind will mark CircoLoco Records’ first full-length album release.
“Baby” first started moving through the club circuit after Prospa teased it during a back-to-back set with Josh Baker at Miami Music Week. That early reaction helps explain why this one already had traction before its official release. Clips moved quickly across social media, and the record became one of the main IDs people were trying to pin down that week.
The single works because it keeps the idea tight. Prospa build the track around a direct vocal, a rolling house bassline, and crisp drum programming that leaves very little wasted space. Murda Beatz adds an unexpected production connection, bringing a wider pop and hip-hop-adjacent sensibility into a track that still feels built for the club first.
Prospa And Murda Beatz Keep “Baby” Focused
The most useful part of “Baby” is how little it tries to overstate itself. The vocal does the main work, the bassline keeps the pressure moving, and the drums stay clean enough for the record to hit in a DJ set without crowding the mix. That restraint is where Prospa sound most confident here.
Murda Beatz is an interesting name to see on this kind of release, and that is part of the appeal. His involvement brings a different production context into Prospa’s lane, though the finished record still feels aligned with the duo’s wider club identity. It gives “Baby” a slightly different edge without pulling it away from the house framework.
The collaboration also arrives at a useful point in Prospa’s timeline. Their title track “Free Your Mind,” featuring Cloonee, recently climbed to No. 20 on the Official Singles Chart, and the duo’s run with CircoLoco Records has already included No. 1 releases such as “Love Songs” with Kosmo Kint and “Don’t Stop.”
Free Your Mind Sets Up A Bigger Moment For Prospa
The album context gives “Baby” extra weight. Prospa’s debut album lands after their official Coachella debut in April, a major headline show at Magazine in London, and a tour schedule that includes EDC Las Vegas, PNE Forum in Vancouver, NAÔ Pool Club Marbella, Palm Club Cannes, Chelmsford Racecourse, Sandown Racecourse, DC-10 Ibiza, and No Art Madrid.
That live schedule matters because Prospa’s records are built with crowd response in mind. Harvey Blumler and Gosha Smith started Prospa in Leeds in 2013, drawing from Daft Punk, Disclosure, The Chemical Brothers, and The Prodigy. Since their 2018 breakout “Prayer,” they have kept a clear focus on club records that feel direct, vocal-led, and built for large rooms.
“Baby” fits that path. It gives Free Your Mind another high-utility single, and it shows Prospa moving toward their debut album with a cleaner, more confident production frame. The record has the social lift of a sought-after ID, the club function DJs need, and the crossover curiosity that comes from the Murda Beatz connection.
