Reek0 was the featured act for the penultimate CLASH Live showcase of the year at Metropolis Studios, created in association with our partners Avirex.

Inspired by his Uncle’s (affectionately called "Uncs") proximity to homegrown rap and rave groups like Heartless Crew, Reek0's desire to pursue rap came from wanting to impress a family figurehead. On his debut EP ‘Good Dreams’, Reek0 emerged as a hybrid act. Young, precocious, at times cerebral and abstract, Reek0’s underground sensibility in songs that carry with it a quotidian, street-level resonance, sets him apart from the homogenised scene at large.

Tracing a line through his come-up with Brighter Days Family founder and artist IZCO, Reek0 stresses the importance of having a tight inner circle to grow and develop with. “We naturally came up together. We’d get booked for shows together. We thought about doing a tour whilst he was touring with Nia Archives. We just needed new material to tour with. We had a dream team making sure everything correlated,” he says.
