BlazeYL

Last updated: 3 days ago

BlazeYL, distinguished by his twisting flows and flippant lyrics that wander through several pockets within hip-hop - not quite drill, nor fully confined to the ‘alternative’ hip-hop space, early releases such as <a href="spotify:album:3N3C3lTHwxrr6fMDylaA82" data-name="Boss">Boss</a> show Blaze treads an uncharted line.

BlazeYL’s music is all about the feel, capturing a swag that’s natural, not forced – Pitchfork

Rising from Kennington in South London, Blaze’s artistic output, whether through his solo releases or within the notorious House of Pharaohs, has been impressive.
Having created a cult following on SoundCloud from 2016, the tens of thousands that listened, knew they uncovered something unrepeatable. Since “Boss”, a slew of releases, including his appearance on <a href="spotify:artist:4ocdD0Bi1syVqLs1GiHqQ9" data-name="Mixtape Madness">Mixtape Madness</a>' & <a href="spotify:artist:2abTBfFq5PSoASI2PSysLV" data-name="Kenny Allstar">Kenny Allstar</a>'s <a href="spotify:track:0ZyMdQNV5R3ZFiUoE59Mpw" data-name="Mad About Bars - S4-E26 PT 1">Mad About Bars - S4-E26 PT 1</a> and <a href="spotify:album:1bD52ekIcXizLifwTPzHzx" data-name="The Sandman">The Sandman</a> with <a href="spotify:artist:4CCjWYtowoZyWAl03Iih5P" data-name="Sam Wise">Sam Wise</a>, maintained Blaze as a sonically incomparable artist. Newer offerings in 2022 through <a href="spotify:album:2MP7Y2wxoEyXsBsmkJzIP3" data-name="Mysterious">Mysterious</a> & <a href="spotify:album:7ncJQbzyCKcbGtwWeIo9NR" data-name="Bedroom Bully">Bedroom Bully</a> further establish Blaze as a first-rate artist, carving his own and ruthlessly threatening adjacent lanes.
