The UK just keeps raising the game in the talent stakes. Since Ed Sheeran's metoric rise to fame- the UK has witnessed a marriage between folky, acoustic sounds, with urban, experience. Over the past two years there have been a spate of young musicians picking up their guitars, not to sing about sunshine and strawberry fields, but rather to spin tales about their hardknock lives- and it's really kinda cool.
J appiah is the latest artist to catch my attention. The young east Londoner is steadily bringing his music to the fore; his particular blend of soul, folk, R&B, and blues- with added musical flavours inspired his Ghanaian heritage is proving to be very popular on the underground circuit. His latest track "I Aint Rich Yet" describes his quest to become, well, rich, and presumably successful, and respected in his chosen field. I'm guessing he means rich in mind, as well as money. Anyway, it's a really charming, and catchy track. Peep the video below.
