The most talented rap export from Stamford Hill, Clavish, is back today to announce the release of his new mixtape, “Rap Game Awful,” which has a significant D-Block Europe collaboration. On the first track “Rocket Science,” which displays a consistent evolution of sound, Clavish delivers assured flows and punchlines over a lovely trap-wave accompaniment. “Rocket Science” is the latest in a string of singles released by Clavish this year that detail the rappers’ growing proclivity for opulence as he chronicles his own “rags to riches” story throughout his discography. The song features an infectious, radio-ready hook provided by Young Adz as well as cold verses from all three rappers.
With a star-studded lineup of appearances from Fredo, Rimzee, Youngs Teflon, Teeway, Kaash Paige, and many more, “Rap Game Awful’s” release heralds a necessary change in Clavish’s sound. Fans can anticipate hearing Clavish ebb and flow between different rap sub-genres on the album’s 28 tracks as he skillfully combines his road rap sensibilities with trap and drill sounds. Clavish “makes rap sound like a breeze,” claims Complex UK. Clavish is one of the most hotly-tipped up-and-comers to come out of London in recent years; he has also received praise from GRM Daily as “a rapper to keep your eyes peeled” and from Clash Magazine as “North London’s rap force.” He has also received endorsements from The Face, Wonderland, Mixtape Madness, and others.
