Introducing the latest face of original hip hop in the UK - 20 year old London based rapper Rax. This creative up and coming wordsmith is on the verge of establishing himself as one of Britain's most prominent musical stars, with a 6-month plan titled The Black Crook Project kicking into action at Midnight on Sunday, 2nd October. Based around Charles M. Barras' 1866 musical 'The Black Crook', the project will see Rax release 1 new video every 2 weeks for 6 months.
Rax honed his microphone skills from the age of 15, before signing with fast rising musical enterprise Clear Cut Entertainment / Audio Surveillance Records. The charismatic emcee then released his first solo long player titled 'The Auditions' in 2009. The mixtape went on to receive over 1000 downloads within the first few days of its release, with hard copies of the project proving equally as popular on the streets of London. Rax then released several viral videos (including his unforgettable 'I Wanna Rock' remix which clocked up over 30,000 views on YouTube), before putting plans in motion for his most ambitious project to date - #TBCP.
The first video from The Black Crook Project features Rax rhyming effortlessly over Souls Of Mischief’s '93 Till Infinity instrumental - the perfect introduction to what you can expect to see from this undeniably gifted emcee over the coming months. Unlike most freestyles which borrow famous beats for their backdrop, Rax makes the track his own and undoubtedly presents his own take on this classic piece of Hip Hop history. The video sees Rax performing in a variety of locations including the AUSV studio and the streets of Shoreditch, with casual behind the scenes shots incorporated throughout.
