That is until now. In a rare occurrence, 24-year-old Irish rapper, Rejjie Snow. The catalyst to his career was his 2013 ‘Rejovich’ EP, which featured a guest spot by recent Brit Award winner Loyle Carner. Since then, Rejjie has produced an array of career building singles, including an appearance from Joey Bada$$ last year on his ‘PURPLE TUESDAY’ single. As much of a fan I am of Rejjie Snow’s older music, ‘Dear Annie’ is a step in the right direction for him as an artist.

As Edinburgh’s Usher Hall filled up, the rowdy Scottish crowd, me included, was buzzing with excitement as ‘Lo Moon’, London Grammar’s incredible American support act, played their unheard and unexpected music to the Scots, who absolutely loved it. After a long, apprehensive wait post Lo Moon, front-woman Hannah Reid stepped on stage and the entire hall exploded with excitement. I had never experienced an audience that was so loud; it was almost deafening.
