Welcome to UK Rap List, where elite MCs represent the essence of UK rap culture. This week’s headliner is LeoStayTrill with “Pink Lemonade (Str8 Reload)”. Earlier this summer, the Londoner grabbed an invite from UK rap tastemaker Alex Basz (better known as Mr Reload It) and become the latest rhymer—think of MIST, AJ Tracey, Nadia Rose and J Hus in recent years—to kick-start a winning run off the back of a refreshing online freestyle. “Pink Lemonade” has been topped up in recent weeks, with Jersey club and trap remixes backing up its huge buzz. But it’s the OG freestyle (produced by Xeretto & VG$ Midnight), a comic ride of catchy flows and viral one-liners, that keeps Leo out in front on UK Rap List as one of this year’s biggest surprises. Elsewhere, check out fresh heat from Pozer, AJ Tracey and Tion Wayne & Russ Millions. We regularly update this playlist, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
