Timbo is a south London based recording artist known for being full of creativity and musical innovation. Timbo has managed to establish his own genre named “Afro-Hop” in the UK music scene and has received a very strong reception; having already worked with numerous credible artists and producers from the likes of Stormzy, Sneakbo,Fuse ODG,Rymez, KillBeatz & Many more. His buzz has resulted in a great following from fans both locally and nationally. Afro-swing, afro bashment, afro-hop, afro-trap: whatever you call it, Timbo started it. In UK rap and grime, genres previously dominated by Caribbean influence, he introduced the sweet fusion of Afrobeats, bashment and British grit that artists such as Kojo Funds and J Hus are now well known for. His distinct sound on STP’s 2013 Mixtape 2 helped launch the genre, while songs such as Ringtone, Ladie and Living Life (featuring Stormzy) from the same year were well ahead of their time. Even Naira Marley ft Max Twigz’s Marry Juana, sometimes credited as the catalyst of the hybrid sound, uses a beat that Timbo had rap-sung more than a year before on Happy Times. On Twitter, his display name is currently #WhereIsTimbo. The answer is simple: all over UK rap.
