Premiere: Grime Newbie Yizzy Shares “On A Low” Ahead Of New Project
Written by SOURCE on June 6, 2019
Rising grime MC Yizzy has had an interesting year so far. Getting caught up in heated online discussions regarding Lord Of The Mics and grime’s old vs. new generations with the legendary Chip, 2019 has also seen Yizzy deliver his first Fire In The Booth freestyle, put on a debut headline show, and now a brand new project called Welcome To Grime Street. As we inch ever closer to the release of new project, the 19-year-old has dropped the track “On A Low” which sees him incorporate an Auto-Tuned hook over a more trap-leaning instrumental, where he keeps the same grimey flow with punchlines and a dose of Spanish thrown in for good measure.
With Yizzy set to headline Dr. Martens’ Boot Room stage at Field Day on June 7, that seems like the perfect opportunity to see some of these new tracks live. “‘On A Low’ is the ‘something different’ song on the EP,” Yizzy tells us. “It’s a mix between trap and grime; it’s like a Young Adz meets Skepta type of song. You’re gonna want to play this song over and over again, I promise you.”
Welcome To Grime Street drops June 7. Listen to “On A Low” below.
