ABOUT
THE ARTIST
- Natty Wylah’s rapping style constantly fluctuates from impassioned assaults to calming whispers
- While his lyrics often tackle social issues like identity and ambition, he’s frequently drawn to the surreal
- He has vivid dreams, and keeps a journal of their occurrences. “I like to notice the little synchronicities between waking life and dream life,” This atmosphere is evoked strongly on “FB Trap” in which his lyrics depict a hypnagogic scene of black mambas, acacia trees, and jabberwockys, over a live band instrumental of mesmerising jazz
- The live band in question are members of Sunken, who Natty has been performing and recording with
- Although stemming from hip-hop, this live instrumentation element injects it with richness, adding flavours of post-punk, jazz, and ambient. The band – which consists of keys, guitar, bass, and drums – accompany him for gigs. “It means we can get experimental during shows,” he says, “really thrash it out.”
- Presented as one of Toddla T’s ones to watch for 2020 with a live Cipher on Radio 1
- Forthcoming mixtape will land early 2020
Wylah doesn’t shy away from being honest and unfiltered
