Omo Frenchie
Born in DRC Congo but raised in Peckham, rapper and producer Omo Frenchie mixes zouk and Afrobeat rhythms with grime and UK rap. Last year’s underground hit ‘Makelele’ adds ominous vocals to a sweet, carnival bounce; ‘Bêtise’, on debut EP ‘Diamond In The Dirt’, is a grimey affair, all French slang and stinging synths. Whether spitting bars or making beats, this 24-year-old is helping craft the future sound of London.
‘Diamond In The Dirt’ EP is out now on Cotch Intl
