Blanco, a Kennington-born artist, has been a pivotal figure in the UK music scene. His journey began with the Harlem Spartans, where he helped pioneer the UK drill sound, inspired by Chicago drill artists like Lil Jay and Chief Keef. Despite early success, the group faced challenges due to the UK's slow adoption of the genre.
Blanco's solo career took a surprising turn with his 2021 project, "City Of God." This groundbreaking release incorporated baile funk influences, showcasing his willingness to experiment beyond drill. His unique style and artistic vision have garnered significant attention, with over 100 million streams to date.
