In the landscape of UK hip-hop, few names carry as much weight as Blade. Not just an incredible rapper and producer, Blade was a marketing genius ahead of his time.
Known for raw, lyrical storytelling, early DIY marketing (selling his first record on the street in '89), and his iconic duo Mark B & Blade, dropping classics like The Unknown.
Blade will be filming his show 05:21 (YouTube) outside the venue from 6:30pm - 7:30pm: 05:21 (Insta).
His story isn’t just one of musical prowess—it’s about sheer determination, innovative approach, and an independent hustle that set the blueprint for DIY artists long before the internet made it easier.
