Rapper and singer ENNY is a soulful lyricist with a story to tell. For the past year, the South East Londoner has been focussing on music, developing and refining her craft. Having slowly grown in confidence ever since her first Instagram-freestyle piqued attention in 2018, the upbeat yet no-nonsense observations of ‘He's Not Into You' and ‘For South' paved the way for the enormous success of ‘Peng Black Girls', a track that celebrates Black-British womanhood in all of its filter-free glory. Now signed to Jorja Smith's record label FAMM, Enny finds herself in a position to become a real ambassador for her ends.
The Silhouettes Project is the bridge between the grassroots scene and the established mainstream. We provide the platform and the resources for emerging artists and producers to develop their craft through creative collaboration. At the heart of our mission is the celebration of collective strength over the individual.
Manik MC is quietly making waves within the burgeoning UK rap scene.
Constantly influenced by relationships and his inner-city surroundings, Manik's principal inspiration has derived from contemporary social issues, from food banks to disability welfare cuts. Manik explores the marginalised and uncertain position of young people in Britain; a subject he is all too familiar with, having grown up as a young carer in the face of austerity.
Through intricate rhymes and frank reflections, Manik reclaims and amplifies a collective voice frequently silenced.
After the release of his debut EP ‘Midnight Express', Manik was co-signed by Loyle Carner, Jehst and COLORS. The release of his second body of work ‘Concrete Clouds' in October 2020 was met with critical acclaim.
