Bemz

Showcase: Friday 20 May | from 19:00 BST

Jubemi Iyiku AKA Bemz is one of several artists helping to establish Scotland as a bona fide hotbed for Black music, proving that rap’s cultural reach stretches way beyond London. Having first fallen in love with music through childhood influences, Bemz began experimenting with making his own sounds. 

His craft is a form of therapy and self-expression, so every theme explored in his recent EP, 'M4', and within the media has been in relation to situations he has experienced first-hand. Bemz’ sound is unique, his versatility is what makes him stand out as he dabbles in and out of different styles from old school hip hop to drill to grime. 

After previously scoring support slots with The Snuts and being nominated for Scottish Album of the Year, his 2022 promises to be even bigger. From being selected to perform at the BBC Introducing Scottish Artist of the Year final to showcasing at Focus Wales to being a recipient of the Tennents Spotlight Fund and also about to embark on the Tenement TV Discover Tour, Bemz continues to strengthen his standing in the Scottish scene.
