Chiedu Oraka + DuckLin Curls + 3DUK

A leading figure in the Northern Rap and Grime scene, Chiedu Oraka, aka ‘The Black Yorkshireman’ defies genres with his blend of raw honesty and social poetry.

Born from the belly of the beast in Hull’s council estates, Chiedu Oraka is here to disrupt the reign of London-centric grime. His bars can fill the dancefloor as capably as they serve as social poetry, portraying the Black, working-class experience from the frontlines of a largely white, economically deprived region of the north. Delivered in his city’s distinct accent with lashings of colourful slang for good measure, Oraka is a fierce representative of a new sound and an amplifier of stories yet to be told.
