I'm low-key obsessed with this new wave of UK underground rappers right now! They're totally killing the game with their experimental sound, DIY ethos, and emphasis on Britishness 
. It's not just about the music, it's a cultural movement that's all about pushing boundaries and redefining what it means to be a rapper in the UK 
.I love how they're using older UK tracks as samples, regional accents are flourishing, and lyrics that reflect life in small market towns
. It's like they're speaking directly to people who feel like they don't quite fit into traditional rap scenes.At the same time, I'm also feeling a bit conflicted about the use of flag iconography
. I get why some artists want to be proud of their heritage, but it's cool when everyone can participate and not just the "original" crew.For real though, EsDeeKid's live show is LIT
! The way he battles the crowd with his apocalyptic bass and John Carpenter-esque horror synths is straight fire 
. I'm here for this scene to keep evolving and pushing the limits of what underground rap can be 
. Bring it on! 
because they're bringing up issues like identity and belonging in a way that feels so relatable to people my age 
it's like they're having this conversation about what it means to be British and Black British at the same time 
and Ceebo's point about needing to approach it as a dialogue with white suburban kids is SO important 
because let's face it, we need more people in positions of power who get it
