acts from within the UK Rap & Grime scene including;
Footsie, M1llionz, Jesse James Solomon, Windowkid, Manga Saint Hilare, Blue Room Mafia, kwes e & Mayhem NODB.
The multi-talented creative has cohesive input into his art;
from production & vocal delivery to visual concepts & merch design.
nineteen97 has stated that there is no consistent formula to the way in which he creates his music, and feels the best results are often found when he freely brings his ideas to life. Whether that be him personally delivering the vocal, or building a track with artists using reference verses to translate his ideas into music.
