On his 2018 UK tour, grime sensation Bugzy Malone is ready to perform his new album on a night for rap lovers galore. B. Inspired is littered with his recognizable intensity, not only within his lyrics but also in his strong rhythms. These are carefully balanced with guest appearances from JP Cooper and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man in an album built thoroughly with variation. With the strong singles ‘Drama’ and ‘Warning’ comes – in his own words “a story of sheer commitment”. This is his fourth album to reach the top ten in the UK Charts in the last three years; the King of the North is no stranger to commercial success, but is also often credited as being someone who has returned grime to its original roots within the past few years.

A seasoned entertainer, Bugzy Malone’s Leeds show will deliver in every aspect of performance and sound, as the O2 Academy open its doors to grime excellence just weeks after his previous collaborator Tom Grennan took the stage.  Be prepared to hear Malone’s massive tracks like ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘M.E.N’ and more as this MOBO nominated star comments on his own struggles and the success that followed when he was recognized for his talent within the grime genre.

The sold out, fifth stop on his UK tour will take place 25th October and promises to deliver a show that mirrors the success and skill of the rapper fronting it. Bugzy Malone is one to watch.
