slowthai

British rapper from Northampton, England, UK.

Well known for his notoriously gritty and rough instrumentals and raw, politically charged lyrics, especially around Brexit and Theresa May’s tenure as Prime Minister of the UK. His stage name originates from his childhood nickname; Frampton had a speech impediment which caused him to speak slowly and with a drawl. Originally known as Slow Ty, he changed it to Slowthai when he released his first single in 2016.

His album "Nothing Great About Britain" (2019) was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize (2019).
