Rapper MINDFLIP was born with Tourette’s Syndrome and although he feared being limited by the condition, he eventually started to see it a different way in order to power up his dreams.
With his brand new single, the vibrant rhymester wanted to capture the essence of what it means to be Exquisite while also showcasing the fun, positive vibe of the song.
Starting out in 2018, Mindflip carved out a lane out for himself, putting a modern take on 90’s/2000’s style Hip-Hop. He’s currently working with producer Soké, on his new project, the Duality: The Life of a Gemini EP which will broaden his sound while still maintaining the smooth but intricate flows he’s known for.

West London rapper MOTIVE105 shakes up 2022 with single‘D.R.O.P’. Produced by ParkedUP, the electrifying single spins tales of schemes and plots, marking a defiant statement of what’s to come from the rapper this year. Accompanying the release is an enthralling visual following Motive and his crew as they embark on a high-stakes, high-octane diamond heist, inspired by the iconic Guy Ritchie film ‘Snatch’.
Motive105 is one of the most exciting rappers emerging on the scene at the moment. Releasing his debut EP The Drive Downtown: Part One in 2021, this rising UK Rap star is a natural storyteller who weaves strong narrative threads through his music and pairs each of his emphatic releases with captivating, aesthetically-led visuals. Already attracting heat from the likes of Complex UK, CLASH, Dummy, TRENCH, Metal, New Wave Mag and more, Motive105 will be joining fellow lyricist Kojey Radical on his UK tour in November with more live dates set to be announced.
SKRIPTURE is a modern renaissance man of sorts: morphing his artistry at will — actively switching between emceeing, singing and beat-making. Embodying all of his signature traits in one tight-knit package — the West London rhymer has returned with his long-awaited grime-laced gem ‘Who Don’t Love Me’.
Slated as the lead single from the rapper’s upcoming album ‘One Accord’, ‘Who Don’t Love Me’ is constructed with Black Belt-adjacent lyrical acrobatics throughout. Skripture’s wordplay is boundless as ever on ‘Who Don’t Love Me’ — and it’s only getting better with time.
Residing in a realm between trap, drill and grime, Skripture unleashes a melody-driven refrain before the track erupts into a cavalcade of molten bars: effortlessly complemented by the skippy, self-produced instrumental.
Outside of being an active rapper, vocalist and producer: Skripture is a one-man studio, regularly mixing, mastering his own tunes and penning tracks for other artists.
Skripture was a founding member of the collective The Truth Movement. The group had the likes of Michael Kiwanuka, Prgrshn & Dornik as active members of the crew. The Truth Movement both produced tracks and performed as a live band, supporting many throughout the UK scene.
Additionally, the rapper was also a member of the trans-Atlantic urban rock group The Score. The Score boasted members including GRAMMY Award-winning producer Taylor Graves [Thundercat, Kimbra] and his brother Cameron Graves [Kamasi Washington, Jada Pinkett]. They recorded material with starts like will.i.am and a laundry list of other household names.
As a solo beatmaker, Skripture has produced records for Bashy, Tinchy Stryder, Dappy and many more. Skripture has also had a considerable amount of sync success with his music used by brands and networks such as Adidas, F1, MTV, CNN and Netflix.
With a steady influx of singles released throughout 2022, Skripture is showing no signs of slowing down. His latest body of work, ‘One Accord’, is shaping up to be the crystallisation of his work ethic — and ‘Who Don’t Love Me’ is just the beginning. Check him out below…
