J Littles

J Littles is an Emcee from Nottingham who has been releasing music since 2008. Although he started out as a grime artist, his lyrical prowess has matured into a unique style of grown-up Hip-Hop. Steeped in social commentary and witty punchlines, which emanate from his battle rap influence, Littles’ intricate wordplay and subtle delivery are mixed into a gumbo pot of jazz, soul and drum breaks as he retrieves the sounds of his childhood.

One of the more experienced rappers in Nottingham, J Littles has previously worked with the bigger names in Hip-Hop that Nottingham has on its roster, from DJ Fever and Nick Stez, to his own cousin Shortee Blitz, to name a few. On national platforms, he’s participated in projects with Gilles Peterson’s Future Bubblers program and the BBC Untapped project. Live performance runs in Littles’ family. His father, Owen Campbell is a jazz percussionist extraordinaire who’s worked with a plethora of acts over 3 decades.

Littles teamed up with Kong The Artisan and Noel & Poland Records in 2024 where he would release the underground classic “MASSA” which saw Littles work alongside Confucius MC and Detroit legend Elzhi, formally of the world renowned Slum Village. This project gained attention around the world and has put Littles in good stead to continue his journey to being a respected name in Hiphop
