We've teamed up with W!ZARD Radio Station, the leading online teen radio station, dedicated to playing your favourite music before you know it. WR are picking a track from emerging UK talent every week that they predict will make it big to showcase here, on the BPI blog.
2017 has been a big year for new music, but for one artist you could say that 2017 started it all.
Having featured on tracks such as Rejjie Snow’s “Flexin” and ADP’s “No Good For Me”, Ebenezer has been gathering a lot of steam underground this year, and is now ready for the mainstream.
In his single “Cliché” he lets you know quickly where he’s from: “I’m from London, North Side’s where we come from”. Immediately you get the impression that he’s: a) from North London, b) He’s far from the other North London-based R&B artists of the past.
Clearly inspired by the current wave of US-based R&B and Hip-Hop artists, with his trap-like hooks and rap flow, Ebenezer is an artist who is ready to be accepted by the mainstream. And, despite only having a social following in the hundreds so far, we have a feeling that in 2018 those numbers will rise quickly.
