Junes UB

West London’s burgeoning Trap scene is all the rage this year and Junes UB is one of the acts making that happen. His trappy, American inspired uptempo beats paired up with his jaunty, deep-voiced UK rap flow create a sound that’s special to the UK scene. Junes’ versatility over a wide range of instrumental types doesn't go unnoticed either.
His upbringing in a reggae and soul surrounded environment contributes to his musicality, having been raised listening to reggae greats like Bob Marley and Gregory Isaac. ‘My mum listened to a lot of R&B and soul music too, so naturally, I gravitated towards listening to it myself’. Artists like India Arie, Erykah Badu and Peter Tosh would be played on full blast and that’s where my love or music really started’.

‘As I got older and developed own music taste and began to grow fond of American music’. Having quoted acts like Lil Durk and Chief Keef as favourite artists, the inspiration from American trap and drill becomes clearly prevalent in his music. ‘I never really listened to UK music till I got older, but that’s when I started to appreciate it more for what it was’ and this appreciation is clearly upheld in the music he creates.
Having started rapping at the age of fourteen, years of honing, crafting and curating his sound has paid off to give us the authentic 'Junes UB' sound we listen to and love.
With the UK trap scene growing each day, Junes is an artist to keep an eye on this year. Expect more releases and collaborations.
