Genesis Elijah

Genesis Elijah, a sharp-tongued UK rapper and MC, has been a consistent voice in underground grime and hip-hop circles since the early 2000s. Known for his politically charged bars, gritty storytelling, and unapologetic social commentary, he’s built a reputation for blending fiery energy with thought-provoking lyrics. Tracks like "Filth," "Mask Up," and "Behave" showcase his no-nonsense delivery and knack for addressing systemic issues, personal struggles, and streetwise philosophy. His "Future Fire" mixtape series (including *Blow Your Mind*) solidified his DIY ethos, while recent releases like *Inside All Summer* and *Mujo* highlight his versatility across dark, bass-heavy beats and introspective flows.

Hailing from London, Genesis often collaborates with pioneers like Rodney P and Skinnyman, bridging generations of UK rap. His work oscillates between raw aggression and vulnerability, anchored by his roots in Christian and Baha’i faiths, which occasionally peek through his lyrics. Whether tackling police brutality or personal growth, he remains a cult favorite for fans craving unfiltered, straight-talking lyricism in an era of polished sounds. Underground legend status: unlocked.
