Downtown Kayoto is Hull’s next great musical hope
Having just finished his medical biochem degree, this 22-year-old is gearing up to hit it big time, with Pharrell-approved melodies and a knack for cooking banging roasts.

Since breaking through in the mid-2010s, the Atlanta-raised singer-rapper has specialised in icy tales of messy relationships. But on Since I Have a Lover, his first album in more than four years, he’s showing growth – and a desire to talk more openly with the boys.
After recently being released from jail, the unique Californian rapper swiftly dropped a 33-track mixtape. He speaks to THE FACE about his new found happiness and the flaws of the US prison system.
His outrageous lyrics take shots at high-profile celebrities and peddle bizarre conspiracy theories. Plus he’s dropped more music than anyone could possibly have time to listen to.
Featuring horny singles, vaporwave vixens, smutty, sordid house cuts and gay electro-punk with a cynical sneer.
The free-spirited artist takes inspiration from Kid Cudi bars, bad moods and Bohemian Rhapsody.
