A Lyrical Foundation with Grime Roots

Chayz3r's journey began where many great UK rap stories do—in the schoolyard, rapping over grime instrumentals with friends. From those early freestyle sessions, he discovered a passion for storytelling through music, weaving honest reflections into sharp bars and melodic hooks.

The UK rap scene is no stranger to innovation—but few artists are pushing boundaries quite like Chayz3r, the poetic voice emerging from East London’s thriving underground. With a fearless fusion of rap, trap, grime, and dancehall, Chayz3r’s music is as versatile as it is raw, reflecting both his lived experiences and his creative ambition.

“Message Deleted” and the Buzz Around “Trap House

Earlier in 2024, Chayz3r dropped his boldest project yet, the EP “Message Deleted.” The standout track, “Trap House,” quickly became a fan favourite, showcasing his knack for painting vivid scenes of street life over immersive, hard-edged production. The EP solidified his reputation as one of the most promising voices in the next wave of UK rap.

New Heat: “Dun Talk” Featuring 1Shiift

Now, all eyes are on “Dun Talk,” Chayz3r’s latest single, a heady blend of trap and dancehall featuring rising artist 1Shiift. This track pushes his sound even further into genre-crossing territory, merging infectious rhythms with lyrical fire—a perfect anthem for the summer.

Singing Meets Spitting: A Dynamic Sound

Unlike many of his peers, Chayz3r doesn't shy away from musical evolution. As trends shifted and genres blurred, he adapted, introducing melodic singing into his lyrical flow. The result? A dynamic sound that moves fluidly between hard-hitting rap verses and emotive, hook-driven choruses. It’s a style that appeals to fans of UK hip-hop, trap, and even contemporary R&B.

Underground Resilience and Recognition

Over the past few years, Chayz3r has built a loyal following on London’s underground circuit, earning respect for his consistent performances and street-savvy lyricism. His grind paid off in 2023 when he was nominated by RBE Music Entertainment for both Best Rap Artist and Best Male Artist, taking home the latter award—a clear sign of his rising star status.
