Fast becoming one of the UK’s brightest and exhilarating young emcees, ArrDee is on a path to stardom. Having recently bagged his highest charting single and first top 5 as a solo artist with latest track Flowers (Say My Name) - which debuted at number 5 on the OCC singles charts, he now boasts 4 of the UK top 10’s (2x solo, 2x collabs) this calendar year.
His charismatic style has already won audiences across the country but now he’s ready for more. ArrDee’s always been driven to be an MC ever since he was a child and now, more than ever is his moment. Hailing from Brighton, on the UK’s south coast, he has always been inspired by the city’s vibrant and diverse music culture, growing up on UK hip-hop, drum & bass, garage and grime. He’s still young, at 19, ArrDee had the world of UK rap at his feet and his relatable sound has already begun to capture the scene’s attention.
His single ‘6AM In Brighton’ has already amassed 7.5 million YouTube views and with the video also filmed in his hometown, it showed his audiences an alternative side to UK rap. Since his arrival on the scene as a new voice to be heard, ArrDee swiftly gained support from 1Xtra’s Tiffany Calver and Charlie Sloth at Apple Music. He has also been crowned as VEVO’s DSVCR artist to watch for 2022, as well as YouTube’s AOTR for 2022.
ArrDee’s influence has now stretched far beyond his hometown with his feature on Russ and Tion Wayne’s ‘Body Remix’. With 73 million YouTube hits and 180 million Spotify streams, it became the first drill track to top the UK Singles charts, proof that he can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the scene’s best.
Since then he has enjoyed a rapid ascent through the musical ranks. His Silver-certified debut single ‘Oliver Twist’ spent a full month in the UK ‘Top 10’, with the video garnering 24 million YouTube views and over 56 million Spotify streams. Going one better was recent releases ‘Wid It’ alongside Tion Wayne, which broke into the UK Top 20 alongside ‘Wasted’, a ‘Heartbroken-by-T2-sampling collab with fellow UK rap talent Digga D that went straight into the UK ‘Top 10’ at number 6, making it an incredible three UK top 10’s in three months. ‘Flowers (Say My Name)’is the latest in a long line of ArrDee bangers that have seen the Brighton artist become one of the most in-demand rappers on the UK scene
