Nigerian born rapper Houston X has been busy at work focusing and developing his sound, finally coming through with new single ‘SWYWS’ – a melodic and buoyant track due to make a solid addition to any trip hop playlist.
The ethereal and dreamy single is yet another example of Houston X’s unshakeable artistry. His eye-catching uniqueness certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed, having been chosen to perform at RCA’s ‘Ones To Watch’ showcase, as well as performing alongside Yung Fume, Avelino and more. At each show, this intriguing artist has stage presence and audience engagement almost matching, if not, surpassing that of these already heavily cemented artists in the scene. Houston has also received support from a multitude of tastemakers including Snoochie Shy on BBC 1Xtra, Dummy Magazine, Clash Magazine, Highsnobiety and many more. This continued traction has seen him gain features from major Polish star Schafter, with the impressive ‘need help’, now sitting at well over 1,000,000 streams on Spotify, as well as from 808INK’s Charmer on his own single ‘CT Side A’ sitting at 150,000.
