Hailing from just outside Reading, Songer’s rise challenges the dominance of London’s rap monopoly. His album, The Sunrise Project, surpassed 30 million streams without mainstream playlist support—a testament to his grassroots appeal.
Songer’s journey from the quiet streets of Wokingham to the forefront of the UK rap scene is a story of raw talent and hard work. His Bl@ckbox freestyle sessions are among the most viewed ever, displaying his natural aptitude for rhythm and rhyme. From the introspective Dream Workz to the reflective The Sunrise Project, his music navigates the complexities of life with sincerity and depth.
A standout moment for me was his collaboration with grime titan D Double E on the track “04.59.” Initially envisioned as a remix, the song quickly evolved into a powerhouse single with D Double E’s iconic touch, adding an extra layer of authenticity and excitement to the mix. The accompanying video, a vibrant and spontaneous shoot, perfectly captures the essence of Songer’s genuine approach to his artistry.
Beyond the beats, Songer is a voice for pressing societal issues. He uses his platform to tackle subjects like racism, mental health, and inequality, never shying away from the responsibility that comes with his influence. His approach to music is not just about entertainment; it’s about making a statement and being on the right side of history.
As Songer continues to evolve, his dedication to his craft and his community remains clear. With each release, he pushes the boundaries of what UK rap can be, blending influences from across the musical spectrum—from James Morrison to J Cole. His ability to resonate on such a personal level with his audience, while still experimenting with diverse sounds, confirms that his unique selling point is just that—uniquely his.
For fans eager to dive deeper into his discography or catch him live, Songer’s presence extends across multiple platforms. From the vibrant discussions on his YouTube channel to the latest updates on his Instagram, and his official website, where you can find tour details and exclusive merchandise, there’s no shortage of ways to connect with this dynamic artist.
One thing is clear: he’s not just making music, he’s making history. And we’re all just lucky to be along for the ride.
