Straight outta Toxteth, 20 year old Elliott Egerton aka Bang On! is the next wave of UK rap. Coming hard, fast and funny in a thick Scouse accent, he first caught the attention a couple of years ago with his Scally Thugs freestyle on Rusko's Cockney Thugs beat. Since then he has developed an enviable reputation in the North West as a blazing live performer who turns the cliches of both hip hop and grime on their heads. His first single, Hands High, is a brutal jump-up dubstep monster produced by shadowy scouse wunderkind Dixie over which Bang On! machine-guns stream-of-consciousness observations on Liverpool life: "I couldn't give a rat's arse if you chat bars, our ma's smacked ours." Hardcore, uncompromising, charming and with a fierce intelligence, Bang On! is set to change the landscape of British rap.
