Born from the belly of the beast in Hull’s council estates, Chiedu Oraka is here to disrupt the reign of London-centric grime. His bars can fill the dancefloor as capably as they serve as social poetry, portraying the Black, working-class experience from the frontlines of a largely white, economically deprived region of the north. Delivered in his city’s distinct accent with lashings of colourful slang for good measure, Oraka is a fierce representative of a new sound and an amplifier of stories yet to be told.

Support from DuckLin Curls + TBA

The aggressive and emotionally potent music released by “punk-rapper” DuckLin Curls, is only enhanced by his intimate and energetic live performances. Inspired by everything from mental to political turmoil, Curls continues to take the north of England by storm.
