Isaiah Hull

Isaiah Hull is a Manchester-born poet, performer, and rapper known for blending experimental hip hop with spoken word, carving out a unique space within the vibrant UK music scene. He describes himself as a “stand-up tragedian,” reflecting his ability to mix humor and tragedy on stage across poetry, singing, rapping, and DJing. His work often fuses the political with the personal, exploring themes around Black British identity, city life, and contemporary social issues through intimate and raw storytelling. Hull’s music is characterized by glitchy, dark beats and an urgent flow that pushes the boundaries of experimental British hip hop.

Having supported notable artists such as Skepta, Sampha, and Kae Tempest, Isaiah Hull’s profile has steadily risen. His debut album *POCOMANIA* (2025), released on the influential Young label, is a spiritually and politically charged project inspired by Jamaican spiritual practices and the legacy of Una Marson, the first Black woman at the BBC. The album melds sonic experimentation with a diasporic lens and has been praised for its depth and complexity. Hull’s work demonstrates a commitment to innovation and cultural reflection, making him a compelling figure in contemporary UK hip hop and poetry.
