AJ Tracey is an independent multi-platinum selling artist, instrumental in pioneering the new sound of UK rap. 

His sound has a versatility that extends across grime (‘Thiago Silva’), drill (‘Bringing It Back’) and hip-hop (‘Little More Love’), among other genres. Collaborators have been equally wide-ranging: T-Pain, Kehlani, Skepta, Popcaan, Mabel, Digga D, MoStack, Aitch, Dave, Gorillaz and Mahalia — to name a few. 

AJ’s boundary pushing reignites and reimagines established genres: one example being the triple-platinum single 'Ladbroke Grove,' which sparked a resurgence in the sound that endures to this day.

AJ Tracey's open-minded approach continues to have positive cultural impact and reach a new generation of rap fans. In 2023, he was honoured with the Brits Billion Award, celebrating 1 billion streams in the UK alone. This accolade stands as a testament to his unwavering commitment to pushing artistic boundaries, without compromise.

Isaiah Rashad doesn’t look back. Instead, he never stops moving forward. That’s why the internet has tried so hard to keep up since the Chattanooga, TN-born and Los Angeles-based artist emerged in 2012. After one seismic appearance after another throughout 2013, he formally introduced himself with 2014’s Cilvia Demo. XXL named him among its prestigious “Freshman Class,” while the project earned a rare score of 8.2 from Pitchfork. Just two years later, his full-length debut, The Sun’s Tirade, bowed in the Top 20 of the Billboard Top 200 and closed out 2016 on over a dozen year-end lists, including UPROXX, L.A. Weekly, Inverse, Stereogum, Pop Matters, Pigeons & Planes, Pitchfork, and more. In between sold out shows coast-to-coast and racking up nearly 500 million total streams, he quietly stared down his demons out of the spotlight. By the time he dove back into music, life had changed. The process switched up, so he realigned and linked up with new collaborators such as Kenny Beats. Ready to break a five-year creative silence, he returns with his second full-length album The House Is Burning[Top Dawg Entertainment], including the single “Lay Wit Ya” [feat. Duke Deuce]. While the house is burning, Isaiah’s running forward at full steam once again. Try to catch up.
