AJ Tracey is on an unstoppable, independently-built trajectory. April 2021 marked the release of his highly anticipated second album "Flu Game". A chart-scaling, stellar offering from the West London rapper at the forefront of pushing creative boundaries, the album draws influence from the story of Michael Jordan in one of his most memorable... championship games - where he overcame a nasty bout of food poisoning and took his team to the championship. In typical AJ style, "Flu Game" highlights AJ's incredible breadth of vision in taking on drill, garage, afrobeats, and more in one masterful swoop, proving that the versatility showcased across ubiquitous hits "Ladbroke Grove", "Thiago Silva" and "Rain" is now a honed superpower here to stay.
Parallel to MJ's come-up, AJ has made massive wins in the face of adversities, and his last year was no different. In what is now his biggest year to date, AJ had the most top 5 singles of any British artist in 2020, picked up multiple BRIT nominations, an Ivor Novello Songwriter of the Year nod, and spent the summer of 2021 co-headlining some of the most renowned festivals in the country, from Reading to Wireless.

Chances are that if you're from Harlesden in North West London - more specifically an area called Church Road - you'll be familiar with the name, Nines. Born and bred in the Church Road estate to Jamaican parents, everything about Nines - one of the UK's most fabled and important rappers of recent years - feels intrinsically linked to the streets... he's grown up in; every verse on every on track on every mixtape, CD, album he's ever released is a product of his environment.
His first break was with his 2017 debut album, 'One Foot Out', which peaked at 4 on the UK Album Charts on its release, but Nines' impact could be felt across London and beyond many years before. He'd started to rap at school and with friends on the estate too; "I was barring from about 7 or 8 years old at school when I think about it", he recalls, "and I've been doing it ever since."

From the poems she used to write as a child before she learnt how to write songs, to the music you hear from her today, Tamera's greatest inspiration is her own lived experience and that of others.
