Ivory
Free The Beast

unsigned

WE SAY

We first saw Ivory play in a bar under a sushi restaurant, full of people who were there to eat and drink rather than listen. By the end of the first song, everyone in there was watching intently and grinning. You can get a glimpse of his performance ability from the video files here, but better to go and see him live - he's performing most nights at present in London. On record, he does white hip hop with humour and pop appeal, all while keeping it real, with the help of hot new producer Jason Air. If Mike Skinner is The Clash, Ivory is Madness. A major talent.
