Rising UK rapper Gerd has come through with a slick new single, ‘London’. Taking inspiration from Drake and Sampha’s ‘4422’ release on the instrumental, the track details the artist’s experiences of living and growing up in England’s capital.
Born and raised in Islington, Gerd has been surrounded by music his whole life thanks to the influence of his father and brothers. Blessed with diverse inspirations from Funky House to Afrobeat and everything in between, his musicality shines through as much as his introspective lyricism.
With more music dropping soon there is no doubt that this artist can stake his claim as a pioneer of a new sound. From conscious bars to varied instrumentals, it is clear that Gerd is here to stay.
