20 artists who will make your year in 2017
Here's who will guide you through the next 12 months
7 Flohio
Flohio actually got a nod in last year's list, as one of the vocalists working with London production duo God Colony. It's with them that she's made her best tracks – including 'Steady', 'My World' and 'SE16' – but her quick flow and introspective lyrics are just as impressive when she's working with other people behind the buttons, like Speech on the 'Nowhere Near' mixtape. All of those things dropped in '16 and are the perfect foundation from which the Bermondsey artist can jump off and own the year ahead. She'll soon deliver a solo EP, produced by God Colony, and may have collabs with E.M.M.A. in the works, as the pair have been doing radio and playing out together. On record, it's clear Flohio is one of the brightest young UK MCs out and her live performances get more incendiary with every show. S Wheeler
