Crashing onto the rap scene this month is the artist Snowy with his new track “Sezzin”. High energy and featuring an infectious hook, the track is one sure to have you in the mood to party as whirling production and the rappers intense flow feature. And, having been cut from his newly released “SIRIUS” EP, the cut becomes all the more impressive.

“I was chilling in one of Jimmy Rocket and Frost (Congi) studio sessions when Frost showed me the instrumental that he had been working on collaboratively with JackDat, and I knew that was the last tune I needed for my EP,” explains Snowy when thinking on his new track. “I went home that night and wrote it, came back a week later and smashed it out in one go! I grew up listening to Frost back in the day, so it just fit.”

Upon the release of “Sezzin”, the rapper talks about the effect that Covid has had on his creativity and his hometown of Nottingham. Head below to read our interview with Snowy below…

Hey Snowy, how are you? How has this year been for you?
This year’s been alright. Just cracking on like usual! They can’t stop the vibes, no matter how hard they try! I am back to work, and I’m enjoying it – mostly.

Covid affected so many artists’ creativity, was yours affected?
No way! I found it liberating and if anything, to have some time to go crazy and experiment making bangers uninterrupted. I was having full days writing, and it was great!

How did you first get into music, what sparked the interest?
When I was younger all my friends on the estate were spitting bars, and as a music lover, I just jumped in too. I kept going with it when things started happening, and now I’m here!

You’re from Nottingham, do you think your home city impacted your sound?
Yes, definitely. That’s the only place I’ve ever lived, it’s all I know. It’s so greezy here, you’ve got to know how to move around and back when I first started spitting it was mad times. Fun though, of course. When I was younger, I was soaking it all in and then I started going out of town, I then realised how different the whole twang was.

And now you’ve just dropped your new single “Sezzin”, talk us through the production process?
I was chilling in one of Jimmy Rocket and Frost (Congi) studio sessions when Frost showed me the instrumental that he had been working on collaboratively with JackDat, and I knew that was the last tune I needed for my EP. I went home that night and wrote it, came back a week later and smashed it out in one go! I grew up listening to Frost back in the day, so it just fit.

It has taken from your forthcoming EP, what was your mindset approaching the project?
I was making music for a while that I was enjoying, but it was more to fit a grime mould. I was making music I really wanted to make on the low, but a couple of people I was working around at the time were trying to dissuade me from making it. I just thought ‘fuck that’ one day and “ALL THAT MATTERS” was made, and that’s a banger. I just wanted to make music true to myself really, and that’s all I’ll ever do.

What do you want people to take away from your sound?
When you listen to me, you’re listening to me. If you don’t like it fuck off, lol.

Who would you say inspires you?
Myself. My guys make real bangers too, and they just make me want to go harder. I am a student of the game, though, so I take lessons from everything I’m subject to on a daily basis! Every day is a lesson!

What are you most excited for? What’s next for you?
I just want to keep releasing songs, and that’s it! I have some serious collabs lined up, and I’ve got all of the singles I want to drop in 2022 recorded en route to master, so we just want to keep it moving and supplying the vibes! The master plan is a 5-year plan, so sit tight.
