Skala is the brand new album from Reading-based, rising wordsmith Songer. At just, 22 he’s recorded three of the most watched Blackbox freestyles of all time, collaborated with artists like Bad Boy Chiller Crew and Vibe Chemistry, and released three album-length mixtapes, amassing more than 50 million streams on Spotify alone. He can rap over any beat — hip-hop, garage, drum & bass — and is as natural a lyricist as you’ll find in the UK. On Skala, Songer prepares to crash the mainstream. It finds him equally pensive, insightful and energetic, rapping about love and society over classical piano, boom-bap and garage. “I’ll never be restricted by any type of genre or any tempo,” he says. “I’ll just pick up a pen and I’ll write. I didn’t try to be an artist… I felt like I already was one. What I want to do is change the world without having to change who I am.”
