The east Londoner combines razor-sharp rhymes delivered with a crystal clear flow, a healthy dose of humour and creative, intelligent wordplay.
Following up on his incendiary 2005 debut mixtape 2000 & Life, Ghetts, known back then as Ghetto, has gone on to release five acclaimed mixtapes, three studio albums, alongside blazing freestyles and memorable guest appearances. 2018’s Ghetto Gospel: The New Testament, continued his artistic evolution and displayed a more mature, considered style that led to a prestigious Ivor Novello award nomination.
Ghetts’ latest album Conflict of Interest, his first for a major label is simply his most ambitious, fully realised project to date and deservedly made the Mercury Prize shortlist. Released in February 2021, collaborators include Pa Salieu, Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Giggs, Dave, Skepta, Jaykae, Emeli Sandé, Wretch 32, Moonchild Sanelly, Dizzee Rascal and a host of other guests, further solidifying Ghetts’ status as one of the UK’s greatest rappers and a pillar of Black British music.
