RPK:
Dropping his debut EP “DEMOLUTION” (which features Flowdacia & Trippy Picture and production from Goose & Chillman), RPK is one of the more illusive Verbal highz members but do not let this blind you with doubt in his skill set. Rapping for over a decade now, this South London born and West Midlands raised rhyme surgeon is highly trained in the art of verbal warfare. With the ability switch up his flow like a multitasking coder on ritalin, over any beat and tempo. He forges his bars like a master blacksmith, containing conscious lyrics that hit with the most visceral of imagery and laced with complex rhyme schemes.

Verbal Highz:
These Verbally high mic malicia were forged in the West Midlands and now reside in Bristol. Since setting up camp in the South West, they’ve gained new members to their roster, also solo releases under the legendary Verb T’s notable record label In The Balance and worked with some of the UK’s pioneering hip-hop artists. Now an eight man platoon consisting of Chillman, Goose, Entra.P, Coosie, Habitus, RPK, Sayk and Sleven. This clan of hip hop aficionados blend a heady cocktail of punchy boom bap production infused with complex, tongue twisting lyricism. With six MCs spanning every point of the poetic spectrum, no lyrical stone is left unturned. Whilst four of them also produce, three of them DJ and one of them is their in-house artist, they have the ability to bring the full impact of a hip-hop show in it’s truest form.
With crew battles and a lengthy string of festival/club nights under their belts, they’ve blown up every spot like a suicide bomber in the early naughties, across this country and any other they’ve hit.
