Raised in South London, SL was inspired by local rap pioneers and the rich heritage of UK rap culture. Eclipsing over 700 million streams, SL has crafted a career steeped in mystique while also representing a new class borne out of the cross-pollination of genres: rugged street narratives met with intricate, at times serene instrumentals. From his breakthrough viral hit, ‘Tropical’, SL now describes his sound as ‘a little bit of everything’ – it’s melodic, conversational and tongue-in-cheek, but twisted via an upbringing influenced by golden-age rap like Wu-Tang Clan, DMX, and Jay Z.
