Collectives come in many forms. Anarchists, the Power Rangers, spiritual groups – you name it. But when it comes to British rap, South London’s House of Pharaohs, doesn’t have any historical precedent. They’re not making grime. They not on drill, and they’re not on road either. HOP is an entity made up of solo artists – each with whom has their own unique tastes and personalities – who come together to create something unique. Think of their music as a specific, wholesome dish with each character adding their characteristics and nuances to the flavour. In other words: It’s just different. HOP offers something undoubtedly unique: they are young, homegrown talent that provides the UK music scene with refreshingly authentic energy.
