Zoka The Author - Flower, Girl, Pt. 1 (EP)

One of UK hip hop’s most exciting lyricists, Zoka The Author returns with his new EP Flower, Girl Pt.1.

Zoka The Author has been raising intrigue for his whole career with his storytelling prowess and undeniable charm. The ambitious new EP sees this dynamic rapper exploring a new, R&B/neo-soul inspired sound; think Drake meets D’Angelo. Flower, Girl Pt.1 is also his most collaborative work to date, featuring a wide roster of London’s most exciting up and coming talent, including Shania, Tahn Solo, Fred Jones, John Alone, Vimbai-Rose & DNZO.

The EP also features production from an equally talented roster of producers, including German prodigy Domwitdaheat, Evil Genius (who also produced Aaron Unknown's album Crazy Nature Situations), and JSTRNGS, who is responsible for much of Ojerime’s production including her latest single, Nothing.

Zoka elaborates on the inspiration behind the new release. He explains “‘Flower, Girl’ is the most layered and detailed project I’ve ever worked on. Both parts work together to create this cohesive, emotional journey about codependency, love and mental health. It’s the kind of project where the more you sit with it, the more you’ll get out of it.”

Zoka The Author has been an unstoppable force throughout his whole career, and he shows no sign of slowing down. In 2019, his debut single ‘The Mindset’ landed itself on BBC Radio London and Norfolk and was made Rellik Tha Don’s track of the week on Reprezent Radio, which led to his sold out headline show at O2 Academy Islington shortly afterwards.  After dropping his debut EP ‘Reflections’ in 2020, he caught the attention of Jo Whiley who spun him on BBC Radio 2, and he has since dropped a slew of singles such as KNOW ANYONE?! and NET LIKE KOBE that gained him the support from the likes of Link Up TV, Earmilk, H-Wing, and Wordplay Magazine.
