Featuring
Loyle Carner
A musician, writer, director, producer, entrepreneur and actor, Loyle Carner first emerged with 2013’s A Little Late EP, and has since forged a signature blend of unflinching, diaristic lyricism with ambitious, genre-disruptive sounds. His debut album, 2017’s Yesterday’s Gone, untangled personal experiences of grief, and the pressures of coming-of-age; 2019 follow-up, Not Waving, but Drowning, further showcased Loyle’s ability to set lithe rap against old-soul wisdom. A cathartic turning point proved to be 2022’s hugo: a taut, textured exploration of Black identity and anger, which also secured his second Top 3 album. Having been twice shortlisted for the Mercury Prize - and scored further BRIT and NME Award nominations - Carner has earned an impassioned worldwide following, with 1.1B streams, campaigns with global brands (YSL, New Balance, Nike) and sold-out shows including Alexandra Palace, Wembley Arena, Eventim Apollo, O2 Academy Brixton and Royal Albert Hall in his beloved London hometown alone.

Kokoroko
Take the improvisational character of jazz, combine it with the raunchiness of funk, flavour the mixture with African tradition. What do you end up with? Afrobeat and KOKOROKO (meaning 'be strong' in Urhobo). They are a collective of young musicians brought together by a love for Afrobeat. They specialise in a soul shaking, horn fuelled sound with West African roots and Inner London hues.

Kofi Stone
Though rapper Kofi Stone hails from the UK (born in East London, raised in Birmingham), there is more than a whiff of ‘90s New York to his music. And even though Kofi’s British accent is impossible to deny, grime seemingly casts no shadow here. Stone’s is a hip hop classicism at its finest - the lyrics, the track, the outlook all breed a familiarity without being nostalgic.
