Initially rising to prominence through the Manchester youth club circuit thanks to competitive lyrical spars with local legends including Shifty, Hypes and Wrigz, Burst Gang’s XP has since gone on to earn international recognition, working with the likes of Mike Skinner and President T and emerging victorious from high-profile clashes on 2015’s Lord of the Mics VII and Red Bull’s 2017 Grime-A-Side tournament.

However, while best known for his contributions to the grime scene, the versatile MC and singer has a varied discography under his belt, also spanning trap, drill and even genre-defying ballads. All these styles are on display on his debut album Better Late Than Never, which includes vocal contributions from Tonga Balloon Gang’s Murkage Dave and Bloodline’s Paper Pabs as well as production credits from Aitch affiliate Sangy and bass music royalty Trolley Snatcha.
