February: six artists you need to check out this month
Don't sleep
The Manor
This trio of MCs from South-East London have been knocking around for a little while, but stepped up a few gears with the release of their ‘Weak Nights, Strong Days’ EP at the tail end of 2016. Drawing on a musical palette of Mike Skinner-esque vocals, hip hop, house and garage, they’ve gained attention with lead single ‘Don’t Like Going Places’. They’ve played sold-out shows at Koko and Islington Academy, so it looks like they’re going places – like it or not.
The Manor play Electric Brixton, London, on April 1
