Dimzy has been making noise in the UK Rap/Drill world since 2012. However, it was not until 2014 that he began to emerge as a serious force in the UK Drill scene, playing a starring role in the rise of 67, the Brixton based group often regarded as one of the initial pioneers of UK Drill. In early 2016, one track would change everything. “Lets Lurk", featuring Giggs, dropped, a landmark occasion which saw UK Drill propelled into the national spotlight. "Lets Lurk" would receive over 20 million views on Youtube, and the mixtape of the same name would peak at number 66 in the UK albums chart, a feat unheard of at the time.
 
“Lets Lurk” saw Dimzy cemented as an undeniable star in the Drill scene. Off the back of this success, 67 received a 2016 Mobo nomination for “Best Newcomer”, as well as winning the Rated Award for “Best Mixtape” for “In Skengs we Trust”. Appearances at festivals such as Wireless and Glastonbury further cemented 67’s, and Dimzy’s, untouchable position within the current UK Drill scene.
 
In April 2021, Dimzy dropped the long-awaited sequel to his “A Glass of Water” mixtape. “A Glass of Water II” is Dimzy at his best, rapping primarily on hard-hitting drill beats with his South London compatriots like Monkey, LD, and Mental K, whilst also demonstrating his versatility on tracks like “Intro”, and “Surrounded” (featuring UK legend Mike Skinner). Make sure to check the tape out and look out for new Dimzy music.
