After breaking through as UK ug hits a new stride, London rapper Ledbyher‘s rise has been propelled by raw energy, a sharp-edged attitude, and a shapeshifting sound that moves between jerk, grunge and neo-soul.
Ahead of the release of her new Mixtape, The Elephant, next week, she curates a Crack Mix for zoning out on the train that weaves through underground rap, pop, and archival recordings from London raves. Get locked in.
Who: I’m Ledbyher.
Where: I’m from Norfolk, but I’m based in London.
What: I mainly work with jerk and other sub-genres of rap, but I like to produce pop, hyperpop, indie pop, and try to mash them together. And hopefully it all comes out a bit lo-fi as well.
When: This mix is my train mix, where I can go through a lot of emotions on one train, and scenarios when I’m looking out the window.
I split it up using Death Is Not The End, which is a Spotify archive profile that has loads of recordings of London house parties and raves from the 80s to the 90s. So I tried to switch genres by using them throughout the mix.
Why: I’ve tried to keep a diary for many years, and it never works, so when I look back on my life, I look back on it through the music that I’ve made. That inspires me to keep making music so that I can relive all of those eras and memories.
