Bemz

Bemz is a Glasgow based rapper, who is one of a number of artists helping to further establish Scotland as a bona fide hotbed for black music, while also proving that rap’s cultural reach stretches way beyond London and the English borders. Having first fallen in love with music through the usual childhood influences and inspirations, Bemz began experimenting with making his own sounds, primarily as a medium of self expression. Art and poetry were the precursors to his introduction to rap, before blossoming into a lifelong dedication with the artform itself. Bemz’ strengths lie in the honesty within his music. He delivers a very raw, emotionally charged view of life, which never falls into the clichéd trappings that often come with that territory; truth is his asset

Nova's Dad

A highly personal and engaging collection of forward-thinking tracks, ‘Nova’s Dad’ is a thrilling, heartfelt showcase of the Glasgow-based artist’s inimitable skills as a rapper, lyricist and producer.

Offering moving meditations on the importance of family, home, and self-acceptance, this is Bemz’s most revealing and assured release yet. From the warmth of the real-life voicemail recordings woven into the EP’s ‘Intro’ track, to the raw love Bemz expresses towards fatherhood on ‘Little Lady’, the honesty and directness of his flow throughout ‘Nova’s Dad’ is the sound of an artist reaching new emotional heights.
