South London’s own Saiming is an alternative UK rap artist who defies categorisation. The self-proclaimed “S-travagant Man” weaves grime’s lyricism into his laid-back yet razor-sharp flow, riding over sample-rich, bass-driven production that feels entirely his own.

Saiming broke through with <a href="spotify:track:1JpLq0ynyDv9rQIfvP2wVl" data-name="WOOF MEOW">WOOF MEOW</a> , a hypnotic, left-field anthem produced by <a href="spotify:artist:0kmN7hZGqNtmFNgJz4YvKZ" data-name="dilushselva">dilushselva</a> , racking up over 5 million streams and earning co-signs from BBC Introducing, BBC Asian Network, and Soulection. Unfiltered and dynamic, his viral freestyles on Balamii Radio prove his command of the mic. Always pushing sonic boundaries, his latest single, <a href="spotify:album:5L8rShSs3emqHwqw7erxgp" data-name="know us.">know us.</a> , a collaboration with UK fusion jazz band <a href="spotify:artist:7gZIxDEvU2dnBdaKG8DxOW" data-name="Zeñel">Zeñel</a>, blends live jazz instrumentation with deliberate flow, solidifying him as one to watch.

Having performed at We Out Here and The Great Escape, as well as opening for <a href="spotify:artist:2mQLwfvZtvtTbipKn3xHmK" data-name="Erick the Architect">Erick the Architect</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4nqQTosM2Mbg7iRjvJU0N0" data-name="Samara Cyn">Samara Cyn</a>, Saiming has just released his second solo EP, <a href="spotify:album:2qywvUngNpxpTfnKRfnef0" data-name="what&#39;s the alternative?">what&#39;s the alternative?</a> . A fusion of neo-grime and alternative hip-hop, the project is a stream of consciousness, tying monologue-style reflections on self-worth, grief, and politics over soulful samples and live instrumentation. Featuring two tracks produced by <a href="spotify:artist:5pXt1B1htTEbkBbQrgNbhy" data-name="BexBlu">BexBlu</a> , the EP bends structure without breaking it. Lead single <a href="spotify:track:4Cmi9AwidjIvoz5CTustYo" data-name="LMNO">LMNO</a> produced by <a href="spotify:artist:3VPVf2I5XVZGmTp5WHva68" data-name="t.o">t.o</a> kicks open the door, ushering in this bold new era where jazz moves and grime hits.
