They soon developed musical synergy, and began posting regular freestyles online, carving out their fanbase one video at a time. The pair, made up of 16-year-old A1 (born Phineas Waweru) and the 18-year-old J1 (born Joshua Somerkun), encountered one another during the first coronavirus-enforced lockdown in early 2020 on video calling app, Houseparty.

West London rapper Central Cee’s ‘Commitment Issues’ hit the Top 20 in February 2021 drill star SR’s ‘Welcome to Brixton’, meanwhile, recently surpassed 100 million Spotify streams. Thanks to platforms like TikTok, UK rap has underscored numerous viral moments over the past few years.
