Steeze
Full of fire and with a split-second flow, the Sheffield native has been steadily creating his own lane thanks to his high-octane sound, originality and authenticity to his scene. NO REHEARSAL is a 5-track offering principally produced by COCO and released via TODDLA T's imprint STEEZE, showcasing the MC's talent as a heavyweight producer alongside that as a respected artist. A truly DIY artist, COCO is a name that is leading this new wave of talent who are championing the sound of Grime outside of the capital - previously being co-signed by COMPLEX UK as 1 of '15 Grime MC's Outside Of London That You Need To Know' - with his trademark delivery and colourful character firmly cementing him from under-the-radar to a one-to-watch for 2018. A solid track record of releases over the last 3 years has seen COCO collaborate with standout names including AJ TRACEY, NADIA ROSE, SCRUFIZZER, CONDUCTA, PROTOJE, SHOLA AMA and fellow Steel City labelmate/mentor TODDLA T, earning plaudits from names including DJ TARGET, ANNIE MAC, CHARLIE SLOTH and media partners including NOISEY, RED BULL, i-D, NOISEY, GRM DAILY, MIXMAG and many more. COCO'S undeniable energy has taken him across Europe, delivering fast and furious sets across festival stages including GLASTONBURY, OUTLOOK, IBIZA ROCKS, LOST + FOUND, WIRELESS, BESTIVAL, NOTTING HILL and MANCHESTER CARNIVAL, THE GREAT ESCAPE, NASS, KENDAL CALLING and the iconic ROYAL ALBERT HALL. A striking statement of intent from the new future of grime, NO REHEARSAL is the first in a run of new music, announcements and activity to come from COCO for 2018.
