GTA



Chima from GTA described them to me as "on that boom bap shit with new school swagger"

Priding themselves on making music as opposed to "just rapping to beats", their formation as a duo of lyricists was effortless as fate drew the destined together at the same school. The two prolific MC's soon caught the attention of neighbouring producers, through various local appearances, and the concept of GTA was born.

Retaining the same brand of infectious enthusiasm and energy which the world first tasted when hip-hop made the transition from the block party to world wide phenomenon, GTA have performed along the sides of more established UK artists such as Sway, Soweto Kinch, Ironbridge, Kyza, Yungun, Task force and US acts such as Flava Flav, DJ Format and Abdominal and Ugly Duckling. Their live shows are always received well and often end up being the talk of the night.
