An essential voice in 2025, Jim Legxacy's prolific output forever tells an important story. His songwriting holds a mirror up to the Black British experience - one shared by himself and his peers. Standing proudly but
humbly at the forefront of a new generation of storytellers and sonic pioneers, he champions complexity, sensitivity and experimentation, creating space for new voices emerging out of the underground. With black british music (2025), Legxacy doesn’t just reshape what UK music can sound like, but what it can stand for.

The mixtape follows recent single ‘stick’, released with a glitchy, fast-cut visual by Rohan Dil and partly shot on a Blackberry - a warp-speed portrait of Jim’s London coming of age. The track debuted via Plaqueboymax’s now-mythical livestream, featuring fellow underground heavyweights YT, Fimiguerrero and Len. He previously kicked off the mixtape with one of his most resonant tracks to date, ‘father’, before ramping up the anticipation for black british music (2025) by doing his first ever video chat on Kids Take Over.

A musical shape-shifter, Legxacy is an artist with an internet’s worth of influences, ‘new david bowie’ draws on a warped harpsichord as the baroque sits next to Dungeons and Dragons references; ‘wayne rooney 06’ sees Legxacy breeze into indie-rock with supreme confidence, as an artist who famously
cites Mitski as a major influence. Countering crowd-igniting cuts like ‘i just banged a snus in canada water’, there also is a radical vulnerability woven throughout the mixtape. Its narrative details an extraordinary story, charting the loss of his sister and grappling with the whiplash of being homeless to
becoming one of the artists defining the UK landscape today.

Previously, in 2024 he released ‘nothings changed (!)’ - a heartfelt tribute to his sister's life and legacy before he played his first ever show at The Albany in Deptford. Later that year he released ‘aggressive’ the first real glimpse of the black british music (2025) sound, and his debut release on XL.

Music has always formed part of Legxacy’s identity, with his ever evolving, kaleidoscopic sound pulling from RnB, soul, pop, grime, Midwest emo, Afrobeats and alternative. Since 2018, he has dropped multiple singles and two longer form projects (Dynasty Program: A Metrical Composition Inspired by the Nights Spent as The Raiider; and Citadel) which displayed his artistic growth, versatility, and vulnerability, all whilst battling homelessness. 2023 saw him release his latest mixtape homeless n*gga pop music to widespread critical acclaim. Jim has already garnered support and cosigns from fellow artists including Dave, Stormzy, Central Cee, Headie One, Skepta, Loski, Jack Harlow and recently Fred again…

black british music (2025) is out now on CD and as a limited edition NFC card from Jim Legxacy’s official store.
