Ghanaian-British Rap Star Confz Shares New Album “Lost Diaspora”

Renowned for his eclectic style and ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional UK rap, Confz is rapidly making a name for himself in the vibrant landscape of British hip-hop. His journey from participating in TikTok’s OiTikTok Cypher to featuring on Kyle Beat’s influential YouTube channel showcases the versatility and creative prowess that define Confz’s music career to date. Red Bull recently featured Confz on their “Raise The Bar” Live Show, hosted by the esteemed Unknown T, affirming his status as a rising star in the UK hip-hop scene. Now, Confz is set to make waves with his highly-anticipated debut album, ‘Lost Diaspora,’ a testament to social awareness and cultural relevance, perfectly timed for the UK’s Black History Month.

‘Lost Diaspora’ is a Tour de Force of acoustically dynamic compositions, capturing the nuances of Confz’s Ghanaian heritage and his journey to establish his unique Black British identity. The album boasts an impressive lineup, including collaborations with Nix Northwest, Facesoul, V.I.C, and more. His ability to blend genres, tell impactful stories, and deliver thought-provoking rhymes has already captured a diverse and captivated audience. The debut single ‘Friday Night Freestyle’ kickstarted the ‘Lost Diaspora’ journey earlier this year, setting the stage for an album that promises to be a cultural touchstone. It was followed by two more mesmerising singles, ‘Let Me Talk’ and ‘Helping Hand,’ further elevating the anticipation for the full LP.

The lead single on release day, ‘Lying To Myself,’ showcases the spiritual and rhythmic dimensions of Confz’s music. The song’s harmonious choir backing adds an element of gospel to the track throughout, with the groovy bassline and tight snare rim introducing that nostalgic vibe. It’s a thoughtful and explorative piece of hip-hop, demonstrating precision and rhyme mastery that resonates with all lovers of the genre and beyond. In a remarkable chain of connections, ‘Lying To Myself’ features Nix Northwest, one of the brightest talents in contemporary hip-hop. This collaboration culminated from Nix’s strong desire to work with Confz after discovering his work through Paya Beats. The result is a piece of hip-hop infused magic, with an energy and synergy that radiates throughout, with Nix’s now synonymous flow and rhymes only adding to the brilliance.

‘Lying To Myself’ further exemplifies the cultural richness and musical diversity that Confz embodies as an artist. For fans of Loyle Carner, Kofi Stone and Enny, ‘Lying To Myself’ is set to make a profound impact in the UK and beyond in 2023. It is clear to see that Confz is an artist who goes beyond beats and rhymes, creating music that explores the depths of identity and culture. Connect with the artist here.
