Aitch

Digital Cover: He’s scored seven Top 10 singles, a spot on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 and is one of the most-talked-about rappers in the UK. As he prepares to release his debut album, we meet Aitch to find out why home will always be where the heart is.

Manchester’s Northern Quarter has been in a tug-of-war for some time. It's Big Biz on one side, independent spirit on the other. But out of this has come an exciting city style, with brands like Donkwear and Drama Call making noise across the country.

THE FACE joined the likes of Aitch, Andy Burnham and Pa Salieu at the studio’s opening party.

Set up by 24-year-old mogul Michael Adex – and fuelled by the success of chart-busting rapper Aitch – talent and entertainment company, NQ, embodies the same Mancunian spirit that’s been pulsing through the city since Factory Records.

Listen to fresh indie pop from Jay Som, a slinky tune from Nigerian star Rema and Manchester's finest Aitch at his best.
