One To Watch #3: Mist
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

For as long as we can remember, Londoners have undoubtedly been torchbearers of the UK Rap and Grime scene. But since Grime’s supposed ‘revival’, the rest of the UK has been making a lot of noise. Initially, many Grime heads were resistant to any MCs from outside of London, with every other YouTube comment reading “nah the accent sounds wrong” whenever someone north of London went in. Thankfully that ignorance has recently changed, with the huge success of Manchester’s Bugzy Malone being a prime example. MCs and rappers from major cities all over the UK are now getting mass recognition by the big YouTube channels. Arguably the city making the most noise is Birmingham; aside from the obvious likes of Jaykae, Devilman and co, one of the most exciting rappers goes by the name of Mist.

Hailing from Brum Town, Mist has been making his name known in the industry, so much so that he has had cosigns from Skepta, Stormzy and Charlie Sloth. Originally putting out grime freestyles on YouTube as long as four years ago, Mist has since turned to focusing solely on rap. Whilst still able to go in on both rap and grime, his flow and delivery suits rap beats down to a t. One of the main steps in gaining widespread recognition is securing a Fire In The Booth session, and whether you like Charlie Sloth’s ‘energy’ or not, there is no doubt that it’s the perfect chance to show the UK what you’re saying. For me it’s one of the hardest freestyles in a while. Check it out.

Racking up 1.3 a million views in just 2 months (BBC 1XTRA & Charlie Sloth channels), Mist has earned the right to say “manna do the dab cos we’re winnin now”. His actual dab might be questionable (3:21), but there’s no denying how skillfully he can ride a beat. Lyrically Mist delivers content we can expect about dealing and making money, but amongst it there’s deep stuff like “I’m sippin on my goose reminiscing/ another year without my mum its hard but im livin”. The clarity and rhythm Mist shows in this FITB is the reason I think he is definitely one to watch out for. On the back of the hype from this vid he’s just dropped a new track “Karlas Back” with accompanying music video. Produced by the renowned Steel Banglez, Mist goes in on a track that’s clocked almost 600,000 views in just ten days. Mad scenes.

The UK scene is fully alive at the moment, and Mist is one of the most exciting of this new generation. Two years ago Skepta likened Birmingham’s Grime scene to the hip-hop scene in the South of the USA. Since then, Birmingham has become even more of a contender with London. With the likes of Mist, Jaykae and Remtrex leading the way, Birmingham still has a lot more to give.

Cop the M I S To The T album here.

And Diamond in the Dirt LP here.

  • It’s time for another killer edition of Back of the Stack, with the selections this time around coming from one of Manchester’s finest exports, the junglist MC and all round top bloke @chimpomcr

It is rare to find an artist who can be so proficient across multiple disciplines of drum and bass, from rap to production to DJ’ing, but Chimpo crosses between all three with apparent ease. With his new album dropping next month, the the man himself gives us a taste of some of the classic cuts that helped shape his awesome style of filthy bars and filthier bass lines.

  • PREMIERE: Villem - "Deep Step"

@villem_murkt returns to @symmetryrecordings for his first solo release, with two jungle influenced tracks. A versatile producer, Villem has graced different styles over the past decade and whilst his output keeps you guessing, his reputation for quality is never in doubt.

‘Deep Step’ flips this inspiration, as serene strings and pads lead into heavy, cascading breaks; crashing and alternating throughout, coalesced by thumping bass kicks.

  • After a lengthy hiatus, Back of the Stack returns! This edition plays host to a certified legend of the Drum & Bass scene in @architexink who’s dark, dirty beats have been reverberating through London’s club scene since the late 90’s. If you can think of an iconic London club night, Ink has probably had a residency there; Metalheadz at Bule Note, Hardware at The End and Speed at Mars Bar were all on the list of dancefloors being torn up by Giles on a regular basis.
