'My Block' is the first single from Che Lingo's upcoming album 'No Love Lost' which will be released on Idris Elba's 7Wallace label. The track is about striving and thriving in circumstances built against you and being proud of what you have, even if it's just staying afloat in your council estate in South London. The release will be accompanied by an official music video on release day. Che Lingo has been touted as one of the most unique and exciting lyricists in the U.K and is nominated for the 'Best Male Act' award at the 2020 Urban Music Awards. He has been called 'one of the most distinctive rap talents in the UK right now' by CLASH and one to watch by Complex and NME. Fresh off the back of his sold out UK tour, and 2019 festival slots at Latitude, The Ends, Glastonbury and Boomtown, Che is gearing up to support Ghetts on his national tour in March. The tour will be closely followed by Che's second single 'Black Ones' featuring Ghetts. Che Lingo is currently the face of Timberlands UK wide campaign under the slogan 'London Needs Che Lingo'. His track 'Same Energy' was included on the latest Top Boy Soundtrack, and his track 'Circles' was used as part of a recent Cartier campaign. Born in South West London during the conception of UK Rap & Grime- Che started making music in local youth clubs, not being able to afford recording time in professional studios. Inspired by love, society, his own demons and much more as he grows and learns; the introspective, anime-loving wordsmith never spares a word or beat, skilfully filling his tracks with relatable lyrics and emotions boasting a range of hip hop and grime influences. Finding fans in UK legends like, Ghetts, Wiley, So Solid Crew and more, he is the future of U.K. hip-hop.
