Asfa Allen, better known by his stage name “Asco”, is a UK rapper hailing from London Fields, Hackney, East London. He rose to musical fame grinding hard and getting his content posted on UK YouTube music channels like LinkUpTV & GRM Daily. He has seen a massive boom in popularity between 2015 to 2018, however he has been active musically for much longer than that; predominantly with London based collective “MashTown” with Margs & Hypo. He has worked with a catalogue of prolific and high profile UK artists such as Fredo, Kojo Funds & Skrapz, as well as frequent collaborations with East London based J Spades.

With his relatable lyrics and gripping “nothing to something” story and his high budget and highly entertaining music videos, his music tells the movie of his life. His music is motivational and also inspiring. Asco is versatile artist, with a catalogue of songs that set various different tones and isn’t afraid to switch it up and vary his own sound from the norm. He is one to watch in London and seems set to take the scene by storm.

In September 2019, Allen was convicted of conspiracy to supply class A drugs via a county lines network, and sentenced for 12-and-a-half years at Blackfriars Crown Court.
