Northampton born and bred slowthai shares his new EP ‘RUNT’.

Having recently sold out all his dates on his upcoming UK tour, slowthai looks set to continue his golden run with the release of his second EP featuring recent single ‘Drug Dealer’. Armed with an unpredictable energy and knack for tackling diverse themes such as masculinity, working-class angst and life growing up as a millennial in rural England, slowthai has become the artist to watch in 2018.

Effortlessly treading the line between grime, rap and garage, in an unmistakeably British fashion, slowthai’s lyrics cut through with a rawness and unflinching honesty, that has the listener hanging on every word.  It is no surprise that radio tastemakers Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson, Zane Lowe and Benji B have all jumped on board.

This year has seen slowthai release a string of tracks with supporting visuals including  ‘Polaroid’, acclaimed AA-side singles ‘North Nights’ and ‘The Bottom’ + standout track ‘Ladies’ which he performed recently on COLORS. Mercury-Award winning artist Skepta has also handpicked him to be one of the faces of his new Nike SkAIR campaign and with a once-seen-never-forgotten live presence, slowthai looks set to become a vital voice for his generation.
