HNHH Premiere! Listen to UK rapper Nick Brewer on "Young Man Standing."

The UK is becoming a hotbed for rap talent. Atlanta's still got the spotlight, as does Toronto, but overseas seems to be next up. From Skepta to Little Simz, there are plenty of buzzing artists making a name for themselves in America-- typically a hard feat for those across the pond. Today we're introducing you to another one of those UK talents, Nick Brewer. The rapper is letting us premiere his new freestyle over Ruff Sqwad's "Together" instrumental-- if you follow UK rap, you may recall Wiley rapped on the original. 

The lyricist's casual flow compliments the chill beat, and the song seems to just be like one long conversation Nick is having with himself-- just thoughts, flowing. It's pretty dope, we're excited to hear what else Nick has in store. If you aren't familiar, you should also check out his debut single featuring "Bitch Better Have My Money" songwriter BiBi Bourrelly "Talk To Me" here.

Quotable Lyrics

But I wasn't quite ready, like when I saw Wiley in my ends
Cause that's the guy, I can't pretend
Are you crazy?
He's like Jay Z, meets Nas, meets Puff, meets Shady
All rolled into one, and I know that it's dumb
But that's just me being real
