Dabbla

Dabbla (real name Peter Dolan) is a UK rapper and lyricist known for his sharp wit, rapid-fire delivery, and darkly comedic approach to hip-hop. A key figure in London's underground scene, he first gained attention as part of the grime/hip-hop collective LDZ (London Zoo) and later the group Problem Child. His solo work blends grime, boom bap, and absurdist humor, often tackling social commentary with a sardonic edge through tracks like "Death by a Thousand Cocktail Sticks" and "Gasoline Sazerac."

With a career spanning over a decade, Dabbla’s become a cult favorite for his unapologetically British flow and collaborations with artists like Jam Baxter and Lee Scott. Recent releases like "G.W.O.A.T" and "Not Quite Dead" showcase his knack for pairing punchline-heavy bars with gritty, experimental production. He’s built a reputation for relentless live shows and albums like *Year of the Monkey* (2016) and *Death Moves* (2020), cementing his status as a DIY rap staple with a knack for turning grim humor into head-nodding anthems.
