Nothing Great About Britain

Tyron Frampton’s darkly comic music has had a remarkable impact on the British scene.

His combinatio­n of styles is unusual, even in this era of cultural mash-ups.

Where most UK rappers look to the glamour of America and Drake for inspiratio­n, Slowthai looks to the punk aesthetic.

This gives Nothing Great About Britain an antiestabl­ishment bite.

On tracks like Gorgeous and Peace Of Mind, he takes aim at May, Boris, Brexit, the royal family, inequality – anything that touches the public consciousn­ess.
