Over the past five years Ive seen the darkness and now Ive come to the light. Ive learnt wisdom. Its humbling to see where Ive come from. The past half decade has seen Unknown T establish himself as among the most creative and authentic voices in British Rap. A string of seminal singles and mixtapes have pushed, and then shattered, the musical boundaries of UK Drill, his distinct voice offering stark yet poetic accounts of life in the overlooked corners of London. Now, he releases his debut album Blood Diamond. 13-tracks long, Blood Diamond is a vivid journey into his mind, spirt and history, illuminating on the trials, traumas and triumphs he has met along the way. Its not easy to come through what Ive been through, and making something out of it, he says, Its a good feeling coming out of that environment and seeing what Ive made possible.
