New single ‘It’s My Time’ is not only a statement but an anthem. From its military drum intro, to the inner city kid’s choir-singing chorus, to its electric guitar crescendo, this hard-hitting track highlights Scorcher’s determination for his creativity to be heard.
Music was instilled in Scorcher from a young age. “We had a piano in my Grandma’s house and my Gran used to teach me scales,” he reveals of his first musical memory. Refining his abilities as he grew, Scorcher released his first CD; Simply The Best in 2006. Drawing on his experiences and environment, the mixtape for the most part was a harsh insight into inner city London living. Showcasing a variety of musical influences, the underground release combined grime, hip hop, dancehall and even 80’s pop to a fast growing fanbase.
With high-profile appearances on commercial radio stations such as BBC 1Xtra and Kiss FM, as well as taking part in a promotional campaign for MTV Base. LOTNS meanwhile built on the quick-fire freestyles of his first disc, and boasted well rounded songs and intelligent concepts which until then were relatively unheard of in the fledgling genre.
Scorcher followed this up with a sequel to Simply The Best, and a compilation entitled Thunder Power which included a collection of tracks produced by himself for other artists such as Bashy, Devlin and Griminal. The title was in reference to his trademark hard, gritty, guitar lead productions. Scorcher was also a member of The Movement; a collective of likeminded MCs consisting of Wretch 32, Ghetts and Mercston, with whom he had released a CD entitled Tempo Specialists.
Despite a growing catalogue of music, it was still what Scorcher describes as a “glorified hobby” for the MC. Scorcher set about crafting his first full length album, putting in a solid two years work in the studio perfecting the sound. The resulting product Concrete Jungle heralded a new direction for the artist.
At just the tender age of 24, this rising underground star has already carved a successful independent career not only establishing himself as one of the UK’s hottest new MCs with now over 2 million video views on YouTube. The first single I Know, featuring and produced by Wiley is a bona fide up tempo party song. She Don’t Know My Name, Grownard and the video favourite Lipsin Ting cater for Scorcher’s female fanbase, cementing his position as an urban heartthrob. Space Invader is classic head-nod hip hop and Getaway is story-telling worthy of Dan Brown’s latest best selling thriller. The banned from TV Gangsta, We Don’t Care and single Dark Knight are firmly rooted in grime’s foundation of hard beats and rhymes.
Signaling a new era for the MC, Concrete Jungle is just the tip of the iceberg for how far he can go as an artist with the electro-pop of Lights On perhaps being the most prominent highlight of what he is capable of in a more commercial realm and an indicator of the music currently being crafted in his studio.
With a successful clothing line Skywalker selling out of t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies, and a video production company Staple House which had directed promos for Wiley, Boy Better Know and Scorcher’s recent videos, he has got his entrepreneurial cap on as well. A forward thinking individual who is progressing at a frightening speed, Scorcher is certain to set whatever he touches alight.
