After a breakout 2024, NE-O is building serious momentum. He performed at major UK festivals including Reading & Leeds and Kendal Calling, sold out headline shows, and solidified his role as a key voice in the North East’s rap scene. He’s also gained national recognition, with features on BBC Radio 1, performances at the MOBO Fringe Festival, DJ AG’s TikTok Live, and a supporting slot on Chiedu Oraka’s UK tour.
Following a brief hiatus in 2023, NE-O is back stronger than ever, with a backing from the industry like never before. While his sound has evolved to embrace elements of UK Rap, his live performances still proudly echo his grime origins, with a Rhythm n Gash freestyle never going amiss.
Starting his musical career in 2017 as a former member of NE Dons, the rapper has since gone on to release 4 EP's. Along the way, he has received accolades such as Track Of The Week from BBC Introducing, a MOBO grant, a Maida Vale cypher feature, and airplay on BBC 1Xtra and BBC Radio 1; It's as if every step NE-O's taken so far has been leading up to this point.
“Someone I'm really loving at the moment is NE-O. He is a grime artist from Newcastle, really, really good” - Kelly Betts, Head of BBC Introducing in Music Week.
