Temz

The Leeds rap scene is quickly burgeoning and it’s artists like Temz at the forefront of this movement. Delivering hard-hitting, defiant lyrics combined with his bold, addictive hooks Temz epitomises the level of talent hidden in the UK’s often forgotten rap scene up North.

The Congolese MC has always had a keen, excitable interest in music, curating bars from the space of his bedroom and with peers in and outside of school. Renowned for his crude Leeds accent and raw, authentic lyrics, Temz was voted “Best Upcoming Artist” at the Yorkshire Entertainment Awards & has since received cosigns from the likes of Tinie Tempah founded record label, Disturbing London and has been quoted by Link Up TV as a ‘Pillar of the rap scene up North’.
