Swiftly following the release of his massive new project ‘Welcome To Grime Street’, Lewisham MC Yizzy reveals a new video for ‘Noticing Me Now’.
A unique track from the EP, this is the first to feature vocals by London artist Elshay and lyrically takes a moment to document Yizzy’s battle to be heard as an artist. The video symbolises this with a nightmarish hospital scene in which Yizzy’s restrained on an operating table by apocalyptic figures.
“Noticing Me Now is that special tune I never expected to make. My EP tracklist was done for ages, I took a song off to make room for this song instead. Listen to the song to find out why.”
Having dropped on 7th June as part of the ‘Welcome To Grime Street’ EP on DMY / Livin Legendz, Yizzy celebrated over the weekend with two huge performances at Field Day – where he marked the start of festival season by headlining the Dr. Martens Boot Room Stage – and Parklife, performing for the Reprezent Radio Stage.
The project is also being supported by some of the most influential artists and tastemakers such as Wiley, Logan Sama, Sian Anderson and Charlie Sloth – who invited him in for the long awaited and massively impressive Fire In The Booth debut – shortly after putting on a landmark debut headline show at the O2 Academy2 Islington in May.
With his first full project since 2018’s ‘S.O.S’ EP, Yizzy has returned with a hard statement of intent that delivers everything you want from a grime project in 2019. With millions of streams online and currently featuring as the cover artist for Spotify’s flagship Grime Shutdown playlist, and with 100’s of spins from UK radio and praise from the likes of BBC, Guardian, Red Bull, NME, Complex, FACT, i-D, Clash and more in the past two months alone, Yizzy is surely set to blow…
