Blanco, one of London’s most acclaimed lyricists, returns with a captivating new EP titled Paradise on a Lifeboat a six-track exploration of struggle, resilience, and fleeting beauty.
Following his sold-out UK and European tour and the success of his standout single “Regime”, Blanco’s new project dives deeper into the dualities that shape both his music and his life. Drawing inspiration from an arc in Naruto, the EP’s title reflects the coexistence of hardship and hope — a reminder that paradise can still be found amid the storm.
With “Regime” paying homage to his Angolan heritage through Kuduro-inspired production, the project also sees Blanco reunite with Kidwild on “One More Day”, a follow-up to their fan-favourite collaboration “Remontada”, which has now surpassed 1.5 million streams.
Balancing sharp lyricism with soulful introspection, Paradise on a Lifeboat cements Blanco’s place as one of the UK’s most vital and thought-provoking voices in rap.
