Komposa
Man like Komposa has been writing bars to spin a spitter and steal his Mrs for a long time now. Established in the capital but exported to Bristol, the genre juggling lyricist is building a rep in both scenes. Still perplexingly under-rated for an artist that’s been putting out fire for years, most recent LP Charging Up was a fitting codename for a project that showcased an MC just starting to hit his stride.
Fighting for space to be heard in an era where infinite digital voices all struggle to emerge out from the shroud of the algorithm is an increasingly difficult game. Komposa may still be under its shadow for now but he’s definitely better equipped than most to break out from it. Permanently working on multiple avenues of creative growth, heads in the know in multiple scenes and areas are starting to take note. Keeping things multifaceted from day, equally at home bodying a grime instrumental or fronting a live band as honing his own brand of hip hop, whatever the beat… K’s got it covered. Demonstrating an eclectic passion for music, this chameleon-grade ability to switch things up while retaining a trademark sound and persona, coupled with a talent for penning melodic hooks followed by a flood of rapid flows, add up to make the guy a serious problem.
It’s not really a surprise with this approach to music that Komposa has a bunch of irons in the fire in 2021. In addition to formidable solo efforts on the way under the Brain Scran imprint, keep em peeled for moves from himself and others on his own platform Ntt Ents. Already amassing a growing list of collabs with respected Bris based artists including K*ners, Slowie, Baileys Brown, Wish Master, Jinxsta JX, Twizzy and Chillman, he’s developing a rep for killer team-ups. Having received national airplay on BBC Radio1, BBC 1Xtra and KISS FM this year, the buzz is real. Throw in an impressive history of smashing diverse live performances for platforms/events from Sofar Sounds to iluvlive to FHP to Eskimo Dance and it seems mad that he’s not yet a bigger name. With his best music yet to drop and a slew of electric live dates on the way though, Komposa is coming for what’s due.
