London-based DJ Tiffany Calver is a distinguished advocate for emerging talents in the UK and beyond.
As the presenter of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s The Rap Show, she has an intimate connection to the hip-hop scene in the UK and has been a vital figure in its international success. “Over the last few years, 2020 especially, we have seen the rise and popularity of rap worldwide,” Calver says. “Almost questioning its place in the music space today – is rap the new pop music?”
The DJ dedicates her platform to aiding up and coming talent. “It’s undoubtedly more difficult to stay on the pulse of who and what is breaking through, and why, because the internet sees hundreds of thousands of new artists entering their journey with the genre daily.
This mix acts as a personal signpost to her most current, rated artists. It glides through stateside trap heat, French drill and homegrown artists that are racking up views in the UK. “I want to introduce you to the newcomers on my personal radar. Whether it’s from America, France, Nigeria or the UK. I have never been more excited to be a part of this industry and its many forms and sounds.”
