Sainté releases new single ‘V’ ft. AntsLive + headline tour on sale now
Praise for debut mixtape, Still Local
“Sainté occupies a unique space in the U.K. rap scene” The Fader
“Sainté’s rise is one for the books and he’s just added another solid gold chapter” Trench
“Sainté makes a compelling narrator, and projects himself into the upper tiers” – Clash
“Its unique musicality and clever layering is much welcomed and in the bigger picture, serves to broaden the sound of UK rap” GRM
Sainté has today dropped brand new single ‘V’, featuring AntsLive. ‘V’ follows Sainté’s summer tracks and recent festivals such as All Points East and We Out Here, as well as his first ever walk at Paris Fashion Week. Sainté’s Still Local world tour kicks off in September, with dates across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Europe detailed below in support of the Leicester MC’s acclaimed debut mixtape including a London show at Koko announcing soon.
‘V’ combines two of the UK’s hottest prospects, as Sainté and AntsLive switch-up between smooth, tongue-in-cheek rap and soulful R&B – each rapper in their own lane, but both in the driving seat of their careers.
‘V’ comes off the back of a prolific period of activity for Sainté, whose debut body of work – Still Local – dropped earlier this year. Featuring collaborations with the likes of Potter Payper, Lil Silva and more, the mixtape marked Sainté pushing himself whilst refusing to depart from his ideals; whether that’s the commitment to his work ethic, harnessing of friends and family, or in navigating the positivity you deserve. And whilst music remains a love-letter to all things local – and all things Leicester – Sainté continues to bubble far beyond his neighbourhood; with over 300 million streams, campaigns for the likes of New Balance, Burberry and Jean Paul Gaultier, and famously catching a break whilst a semi-pro basketball player working in Nando’s.
AntsLive, meanwhile, dropped his electrifying mixtape Real Life earlier this year, which included standout tracks like ‘Alexa’ (ft. Kairo Keyz), ‘UK Baddie’ (ft. SL) and recent single ‘Sex On The Beach’. Accompanied by more of AntsLive’s signature, outstanding videos, the North London rapper has taken the music world by storm ever since breakout single, ‘Number One Candidate’. Having toured with Aitch and landed co-signs ranging from AJ Tracey to North Face and JD campaigns, AntsLive continues his breakthrough into the British mainstream with both fun and focus.
Watch out for more from Sainté & AntsLive to follow soon.
