Headfirst Editor's Pick
"At the vanguard of London’s rap scene, Bawo pairs dreamy, soulful production with a laid-back flow akin to fellow UK rap royalty Dave. He returns to play Bristol alongside ones-to-watch youngsters JTR who go in hard with razor-sharp bars and glacial beats. "

Bawo:
"It's An Honour," as Bawo & Oscar #Worldpeace remark, to have him perform for the second time for us. With just a few tunes out and a hundred odd people attending last time at Loco Klub, Bawo is now one of the kings of the underground, amassing almost 300,000 Spotify listeners a month. "It's Okay" Bawo says, if you haven't heard of him before, just make sure you've tuned in by September the 27th. It's gonna be a "Mazzalean" when Bawo and Danny jump on and 'Surf That (beat) Well" with "Brasileiro." The Exchange will be jumping the most since we were last there. His recent appearance on "Iconicy" which also featured Knucks and his latest tune, "7AM," with NiNE8's Louis Culture showcase Bawo's pedigree. Notable mention for the first tune we heard of his 'Yes Guvna,' with Chedda Bred.

Danny Sanchez:
It's gonna be "Dangerous" when Danny touches mic and you're gonna wish you got a "Boxinaface" forcing you to come if you don't. We have been meaning to get Danny down for TOO long now and are gassed it's finally happened. Lockdown had us "Venting" with postponements. One of the smoothest voices in the game, as well as being a serious barrer, you're gonna wanna hold your "Mamacita" tight when Danny's on stage. SexC. His features with everyone from Jaydonclover, Lenzman, BaggE, Redeyes, Ashbeck and Ninioh display this mans versatility. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE "Volveré" EP.

JTR:
"Scammers Elite." This young trio are what we like to call, Next Up. With London's baddest producer, and the game's coldest hooks and melodies you're gonna wanna remember Luca Santamaria, Jrhys and Dfunds. With a versatile EP, "Are We There Yet?" already to their name, amongst a host of banging singles, "Crew," "ALTER EGO," and "Scammers Elite." After coming through as special guests at our last show it's only right we put them on the line up this time to let the people really know. It's "notMEitsU" who needs to clock on before everyone else does. Make sure you check out Luca and Jrhys' first project, "Memories." Which is ridiculous for a pair of 18 year olds.

AS ALWAYS, WATCH OUT FOR THE SPECIAL GUESTS. AS PROVEN, YOU NEVER KNOW WHO WE COULD BRING OUT.
Once again, stay locked on the insta's @eventsnextup & @ukunderground rap for all that good shit. You will not regret it.
