About the Artist

Hailing from Brighton, Rizzle Kicks, comprised of Jordan "Skepta" Stephens and Harley "Syco" Alexander-Sule, burst onto the scene in 2011 with their debut single 'Down With The Trumpets'. The track quickly became a summer anthem, cementing their status as one of the most exciting new acts in the country. Their debut album, 'Stereo Typical', released later that year, spawned further hits like 'When I Was a Boy' and 'Mama Do the Hustle', showcasing their witty lyricism, catchy melodies, and an undeniable knack for creating feel-good music. They followed this success with their second album, 'Roaring Twenties', which continued to explore their signature sound while maturing their artistic expression. Throughout their career, Rizzle Kicks have been praised for their energetic live performances, their relatable storytelling, and their ability to connect with a broad audience. Their music often touches on themes of youth, relationships, and everyday life, delivered with a distinctive British charm and a healthy dose of humour.
