GREY
Newcomer Mason Hilliah flaunts his potential on his debut release GREY.
An expressive lyricist and charismatic vocalist, Mason is an artist who seeks inspiration from his surroundings, escaping the inner city to find solace in the countryside and coast.
Hilliah worked with Enny and Jorja Smith collaborator Clinton McCreery on the soulful sonics. The ambient instrumental uses its jazzy keys and fast paced percussion to lay foundation for Mason’s poetic bars and nonchalant flow, delving through his lovestruck narrative with introspection and nuance. The buttery tune is accompanied by moody visuals that see Mason ambling around the English country and musing at a picturesque oceanside setting.
One of the most exciting rappers to emerge from the UK this year, expect Mason Hilliah to rise quickly through the ranks of alternative rap.
