NickSilver

NickSilver is an emerging artist who is renowned for his highly experimental nature. Sitting centre stage in the emerging experimental rap scene of the UK, Silver, who hails from East London is an active explosive that is perched perfectly at the “any minute now” stage of his career. A child of the Grime era, NickSilvers homegrown talent first began in Newham. This environment galvanised the artist's sound, with acts like Skepta and Blade Brown’s bleeding into Silver's musical DNA by way of osmosis as these acts made waves throughout London's intimate rap scene. Silver, who is also a Kid Cudi fan, also wears his US influences firmly on his sleeve, which all help to influence and inform his alternative and experimental sound.

His core aesthetic varies, but listeners gravitate towards Silver for his bouncy, energetic Limerick-style of rap, which often flows on trap-esque beats that incorporate melodic foundations.

The artist, who’s ethos has always been to “go get it”, has already received nods from UK radio and blogs including This Is Westside FM, PitLdn and Kane FM, setting the blueprint for his ever-growing fanbase. NickSilver is also one of the founding members of the UK ensemble ‘NCN' favoured by music blog Mixtape Madness.

Nicksilver is one of the most important faces of rising talent in the UK’s alternative rap genre. Although walls are blurred on what exactly this genre incorporates, with work accredited alongside Rushy, Knucks and kadiata it’s only a matter of time till he is among the forefront of the UK's music scene.
