Amassing significant praise from major outlets including NME, BBC, and EVENING STANDARD, the 22-year-old artist would later release his debut project, Step By Stepz, featuring UK royalty D Double E and South-East London’s Pete & Bas. The young rapper flaunted renewed confidence and determination as he holds his own with some of the UK’s most prominent emcees.
Highlighted as a "One to Watch" in THE FACE’s Spring Issue, Stepz’s unique artistry and visionary approach continued to garner attention as he earned his first cover feature across NOTION.
