Grime artist Solo 45 is to stand on trial after being charged with 29 counts of rape.

The latest charges for the MC, real name Andy Anokye, follow two previous charges of rape and one of false imprisonment and one of actual bodily harm, according to the BBC.

It's reported that three people later made allegations to police, leading to 27 new rape charges.

Having already pleaded not guilty to the previous charges, he's now due to go on trial at Bristol Crown Court on April 16 next year.

Solo 45 is a close affiliate of North London grime crew Boy Better Know, which features Skepta and Jme, and is best known for his track 'Feed Em To The Lions'.
