Then again, most young MCs aren’t Young T and Bugsey, the Nottingham duo whose fierce, eclectic hip-hop has turned them into ones-to-watch, championed by Stormzy, Tim Westwood and many more. Young T and Bugsey met aged 15, having been aware of each other’s DIY recordings on separate sides of the city. “Our sound is the both of our cultures and backgrounds without any kinda boundaries or restrictions”, say the pair, who collide murky, bass-heavy beats with sounds from their childhoods: ad libs borrowed from their respective Nigerian and Jamaican parents’ record collections, grime flows inspired by school days rapping over instrumentals nabbed from YouTube, and hooks paying homage to lazy sofa sessions in front of MTV Base. “50 Cent, Snoop, Pharrell – that era was it for us,” laughs Young T. “Hot summer days, you’d still be inside watching MTV Base, the whole day.” Since teaming up years ago, the pair have gone on to release a catalogue of breakout singles including 'Gangland' feat Belly Squad, underground smash hit ‘4x4’, 'Ay Caramba' alongside West London rapper Fredo, 'Enroute' and 'Strike A Pose' featuring Aitch. All tracks which have further helped establish the Nottingham duo as one of the UK's most promising talents. - Spotify Top 100 Chart History Young T & Bugsey 2018 32 Ay Caramba (Stay Flee Get Lizzy presents Fredo & Young T & Bugsey) -NAS- 2019 19 Strike A Pose (feat.

Growing up, Dave was inspired to pursue art in some form. Taking cues from his older brothers, he initially tried his hand at animation before moving on to piano before finally settling on becoming a fully-fledged grime MC; unfortunately, his brothers would end up serving lengthy prison sentences. To cope with the drastic alteration to their lives, Dave burrowed even deeper into his music, causing him to develop a socially aware form of wordplay that set him apart from his peers. Despite starting to write bars around the age of ten, it was six years later that Dave would make his first appearance, freestyling on an underground grime channel, Bl@ckbox, in 2015. In January of the following year Dave returned with his first music video/single "JKYL+HYD," cementing his reputation for deep subject matter and ambitious lyrics. In the following months, Dave delivered two key freestyles on BBC Radio 1. The first was on Semtex's 1Xtra show and the second on Charlie Sloth's Fire in the Booth. A number of singles followed, including a standout collaboration with West London's own rising star, AJ Tracey, on "Thiago Silva." By September Dave was ready to drop his first EP, Six Paths. The release was a success in its own right, but gained even more attention when Canadian rapper Drake remixed the single "Wanna Know," bringing Dave's sound to an American audience. - iTunes Top 100 Chart History Dave 2017 51 Wanna Know (feat.

August 4, 20197 yr hopefully Joel Corry can actually make the top 20 this week but seeing as he was higher in last week's first look chart that seems unlikely.
August 4, 20197 yr Author He's doing better on streaming than last week though - I think part of last week's decline was the Love Island boost wearing off! It's more stable now.

Her parents didn't know that she was writing music until she was 16. Before she turned 20, she released her debut single, the independently released "Know Me Better" -- a moody, yearning piece of breakbeat soul. Signed to Polydor, she had her second single, "My Boy My Town," out by the end of 2015. Shortly after that, she was nominated in the BBC Sound of 2016 poll (won by Jack Garratt). In 2017, she delivered the mixtape Ivy to Roses, which included the platinum-certified single "Finders Keepers," featuring Kojo Funds. After opening for Harry Styles on his 2018 European tour, she joined Jax Jones and Rich the Kid on hit single "Ring Ring" before issuing her single "One Shot." - iTunes Top 100 Chart History 2017 08 Finders Keepers (feat.

August 4, 20197 yr Author 16 | 13 | 20th week Lil Nas X Old Town Road 1st single from 7 Released: 3rd December 2018 Label: Columbia Records The TikTok-spawned phenomenon marries Brothers Osborne and Travis Scott for a country-trap bop fit for Stagecoach and Rolling Loud. “Old Town Road” arrives on the spurs of the video game Red Dead Redemption 2 (which the video directly references), colliding with hip-hop culture and genre-adjacent memes throughout the saloon-ready tune. Lil Nas X showcases a rumbling yet buttery vocal delivery and pairs it with cheeky lyrics that play into the tropes of contemporary hip-hop. - iTunes Chart Statistics NE (04/04/2019) | 67-39-2-1-1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-7-7-7-7-10-10-13-[16] Sales: 1,100k+ Certification: Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 01 Sales 01 Audio Streaming 01 Video Streaming Video w2Ov5jzm3j8 Biography Montero Lamar Hill (born April 9, 1999), known professionally as Lil Nas X is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. He came to international attention for his country rap breakout single "Old Town Road", which achieved viral popularity on the video sharing app TikTok in early 2019. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. At week thirteen at the top, it became the longest-running hip hop song on the chart. As of July 2019, it has remained there for fifteen weeks, making Nas X the only openly gay artist to do so. His debut EP, 7, was released on June 21, 2019. His second single from 7, "Panini", remains in the Rolling Stone’s Top 100 top ten after debuting there July 3, 2019. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 2019 01 Old Town Road -1- MILLIONAIRE 2019 25 Panini -2- 2019 55 Rodeo (Lil Nas X & Cardi B) -AT- Social Media Lil Nas X http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png

August 4, 20197 yr Wow, that's a pretty high debut and that's not including its big iTunes climb today! Could this even go top ten?
August 4, 20197 yr g'won Aitch get dat 3rd top 20 hit in 2 months! (4th overall if you count Keisha & Becky remix too) 'Taste' is a bit of a bop.
August 4, 20197 yr Author I can see Taste's appeal on first listen but I've not been overly impressed by anything Aitch has done yet (Strike a Pose and Kilos are both decent but I can leave his verses)
August 4, 20197 yr Author 14 | 37 | 4th week Krept & Konan featuring Headie One and K-Trap I Spy Non-album single Released: 11th July 2019 Label: Virgin EMI Records Chart Statistics NE (25/07/2019) | 18-32-37-[14] Sales: 30k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 67 Sales 28 Audio Streaming 07 Video Streaming Video 6Ig63dQ8lKI Biography The organic, wordy, and literate hip-hop created by Casyo "Krept" Johnson and Karl "Konan" Wilson -- aka South London duo Krept & Konan -- had slipped into the mainstream in a relatively natural and gradual way by 2013. Formed in 2009, the pair eschewed the traditional quest for major-label interest, concentrating instead on spreading the word via social media, and eventually via their own label and clothing line, Play Dirty. It was a 2010 mixtape titled Tsunami that initially turned the heads of a significant number of people, before their cover of Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Otis" racked up millions of YouTube views in less than a week in early 2011. When a gunman burst into Konan's mother's home that summer, injuring her and fatally shooting his stepfather, the duo subsequently dealt with the incident in the autobiographical "My Story." Later that year, the Tottenham-born grime artist Skepta invited them to open for him in Glasgow. Although this was effectively Krept & Konan's first gig, it cemented a relationship between the three, and Skepta continued to promote their music online, as did such luminaries of the U.K. scene as Wretch 32 and Professor Green. Momentum was built by way of holding off the official release of any further material until the September 2013 mixtape Young Kingz surfaced. The album managed to reach the U.K. Top 20 with an almost nonexistent marketing budget, and featured appearances from artists such as Giggs, Chip, and Tinie Tempah. A year later the group signed with Def Jam, and released The Long Way Home on the label in 2015. The album featured guest spots from Ed Sheeran, Rick Ross, and Wiz Khalifa, and debuted at number two on the U.K. albums chart. The duo returned in 2017 with two simultaneously released mixtapes. 7 Days was the more club oriented of the two, and featured guest spots from Skepta and Stormzy; 7 Nights had more of an R&B flavor and featured appearances from Hudson East and Tony Lanez. - iTunes Top 100 Chart History Krept & Konan 2015 09 Freak Of The Week (feat.
