10 Notts Hip Hop Artists to Watch Out For

The UK hip hop scene is having somewhat of a resurgence these days. There’s a big light shining on London, but Nottingham has always been a birthplace of premium hip hop talent, from Out da Ville rapping circles around the rest of the country, to Pariz-1 proving that she can go bar to bar with any MC. The Nottingham pool of talent has always remained full, so we’ve collated a list of current hip hop artists to get to know this year.

It’s worth noting that without a few Nottingham rap legends laying down the groundwork beforehand, we may not have many of the artists on this list. So before we start, we give a big shout out to Scorzayzee, Wariko, Pariz-1, Out da Ville, Stan Crook Ed, J Gold, Fif Nova, 1st Blood, Cappo, Land Lordz, Fort Nottz, Smokes and Bluntz.

Grey Hairs Answer Questions in Photos

Following up their debut album, Colossal Downer, with another cathartic serving of mid-thirties frustration expressed through the medium of howling vocals and loud, fuzzed-out guitars, Grey Hairs’ sophomore LP is Serious Business.

We asked them to put down their respective instruments and answer our incredibly deep and meaningful questions with their camera devices. Like the album, the results don’t disappoint.
