Customisation Menu (Intro) (feat. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd)

This track is Wakanda meets Fela Kuti with a south London accent, blending afrobeat rhythms with futuristic, video game-inspired sounds to celebrate the power of community and kinship. This track is the first track off my upcoming concept album due in May 2025.

The track features Jay Phelps and Nathaniel Cross. Produced by DJ Harrsn (whose remix of "God Is Trying" was Annie Mac’s Hottest Record), it builds to lush strings and a heartfelt voice note from gospel choir director Daniel Thomas. Reflecting on finding your tribe,

“It’s about connecting with those who truly see you and push you to grow.”

Find Your Tribe

Find Your Tribe (feat. Jay Phelps & Nathaniel Cross)

Why Me is the first single lifted from his debut concept EP 'States Of Being' planned for April 30th.  
"Why Me is about this feeling or state we all go through whether we care to admit it or not, its's not quite anger nor is it quite contemplation, but rather a mixture of both"

States of Being is an e.p that blurs the boundaries between jazz, hip-hop, gospel, garage and grime. The result is both expansive and intricate, scanning the vast spectrum of Black music.
