Grime is not something usually associated with Birmingham but local born rapper Mist has changed all that. His mixes on Youtube have received an astonishing twenty million views and propelled him towards the top of the UK Grime pile. Last years ‘M I S to the T’ EP cemented his reputation as an intelligent rapper not frightened to explore subjects divorced from the usual gangsters and guns raps of his contemporaries. ‘Karla’s Back’ and ‘Ain’t the Same’ are brutal rhythms traced with a raw lyrical intensity as Mist raps about family and the success that’s coming his way. Mist in his home town is going to be intense. With the buzz around him getting louder and stronger take this chance to see one of our own up close and personal.
