London’s grime and hip-hop scene is truly emerging as an influential force in music.
From Skepta and Dizzee Rascal to Krept and Konan, UK’s hip-hop/grime genre is filled with dozens of talented new artists, including London native Kojey Radical.
Kojey’s new single “Open Hand” has been picking up steam on Apple Music and BBC Radio 1, which prompted the poet/musician to utilize his creator-director skills and shoot a visual. The 5-minute The Rest-directed video is dark and thought-provoking, but it should be noted that some scenes may cause photosensitive epilepsy, so viewer discretion is advised.
