Tyron Kaymone Frampton, better known by his stage name slowthai, is a British rapper with an unflinching penchant for authenticity and confrontation in his music. Born on December 18, 1994, in Northampton, he burst onto the UK's grime and hip-hop scene with an irrepressible energy, raw lyrics, and a unique delivery that quickly set him apart. His moniker, 'slowthai', comes from a childhood nickname, referencing his slow speech; however, there's nothing sluggish about his meteoric rise in the music industry.

Slowthai's discography encapsulates the spirit of a generation confronted with political turbulence and social disenfranchisement. His debut album, "Nothing Great About Britain," released in 2019, was a searing social commentary wrapped in punk-infused beats, earning him a nomination for the prestigious Mercury Prize. Following his initial success, he continued to express his multifaceted artistry through the dual-sided album "TYRON" in 2021, featuring the reflective track "CANCELLED" and the collaboration "MAZZA" with A$AP Rocky. His bold style and collaborative spirit are evident in his other recent works, like "UGLY" and "Feel Good," where slowthai's distinctive voice adds texture and grit to the UK's musical landscape. His fearless approach to tackling personal and societal issues, combined with a knack for stirring collaborations, such as "Model Village" with Idles and "SLUGGER" with $NOT, continues to define slowthai as a vital voice in contemporary music.
