Nick Brewer

In the tradition of early-aughts U.K. grime performers Mike Skinner and Jack port, Essex-based Nick Brewer rapped over jazzed-out beats with acceleration and a tongue-swirling movement. Although he researched background at Essex College or university, he finished up dedicating his lifestyle to rap, a like sparked at age group nine by his initial rap Compact disc, Puff Daddy’s “I’M GOING TO BE Lacking You.” He released some EPs within half-a-decade: his debut, 2010’s By itself with My Thoughts and its own 2011 sequel, aswell as 2013’s Toned 10. His 4th EP, 2014’s Four Mls Further, highlighted jazzy soul creation with the Confect and a flurry of guests (George the Poet, Small Simz, JP Cooper, Naomi Scott, Utmost Marshall). In 2015, in the build-up toward his standard debut album Entertainment, he released yet another EP (Caution Light), which presented Stormzy, Ruby Maze, Barney Designer, Tink, and another place from Naomi Scott. His solitary, “Speak to Me,” presented Bibi Bourelly (who penned Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Possess My Cash”) and helped Brewer garner a lot more widespread attention.
