Blanco
Born and raised in South London, Blanco is firmly established as a drill pioneer and innovator in the UK rap scene. As a member of Harlem Spartans he was at the forefront of a U.K. drill scene that has gone from being an underground phenomenon to a staple of the mainstream, paving the way for a generational sound. Now firmly establishing himself as a solo artist he’s determined to forge his own path, looking to his Angolan heritage and love of Brazilian funk music to create a sound unique to himself. Mixing hard-boiled stories from his own life with the sounds of the favelas, Blanco remains an outlier; unafraid to go against the grain and always pushing things forward. “I hate following the crowd,” Blanco explains. “I’m determined to stand out and be myself. For proof of this mindset you only need to look at Blanco’s string of releases in 2020. Memphis, Anakin, and monster hit Shippuden, streamed over 12m times across streaming platforms and featured in Grand Theft Auto V, showed a smoother side to Blanco’s work - allowing his versatile, innovative wordplay to thrive and the good vibes flow. Pull Up, meanwhile, was used by Michaela Coel in her critically-acclaimed, award winning TV series I May Destroy You. He built his confidence up at Alford House Youth Club in Kennington, where music production and recording equipment were among the services offered to 8-21 year olds. Alongside the rest of Harlem Spartans. “Music has the power to change my situation.”
