Ikes is a man of his own. Emerging in the Hip-Hop scene during a time period when many emcees around London were tapping into grime, he remained steadfast with his sound and craft, dropping projects like ‘The Intermission’ mixtape back in 2011 and 2012’s ‘The Intermission: Last Call’, which spawned the single ‘Girl Talk’ featuring Scorcher and Jermain Riley. Ambitious from the start, Ikes delivered music with the production quality of big dogs such as Jay Z or Rick Ross, with lyrical content that was utterly clever and relatable to the listener. His videos were equally as sharp, looking like mini-movies at times. Clearly Ikes is not out to just “make” music, but be the best at it.
