A grime 2.0 hopeful to watch in 2016, east London based MC and producer Fusion (20 years young) made his official debut via the legendary Lord Of The Mics VII compilation. Marking himself out as one of the new generation worth a reload, his “Newham” anthem (the remix of which featured his neighbors Ghetts and Mic Ty) paved the way for the grit-laden wave we’re about to witness via his Genesis EP. A four-track collection of 140 dirt, lead track “No,” produced by his trusty co-d Five Nine, is a stark reminder of what makes up grime’s sonic backbone. With “Rudeboy,” “Sell Me A Dream,” and the Fusion produced “24 Hours Riddim” dropping early May, don’t be late to the table.
Fusion will be performing on the Lord Of The Mics stage at Born N Bred on June 4. Visit haggerston.net for tickets.
