OG Grime veteran Scorcher joins forces with Liverpool’s rising street voice Kasst8 on his latest single, “Roads.” Produced by Rxwntree, the track delivers a gritty return to the foundations of classic Grime, built on punchy basslines, sharp synths, and an unapologetically raw energy.
On “Roads,” Scorcher taps into his roots, delivering a commanding hook and hard-hitting verses that reflect on the environments that shaped him. His delivery is direct and unfiltered, embodying the essence of the streets he came from. Kasst8 complements this with a more laid-back UK rap flow, offering a contrasting style that adds depth and balance to the record. Together, the duo creates a dynamic interplay that highlights both their individual strengths while maintaining a cohesive sonic identity.
With over 15 million streams across digital platforms and more than 20 million views on YouTube, Scorcher continues to prove his consistency and relevance within the Grime scene. Widely regarded as one of the genre’s pioneers, he has remained a key figure through its evolution and resurgence, earning accolades such as Best Grime Act at the MOBO Awards in 2025, alongside another nomination this year.
Beyond music, Scorcher has expanded his influence into acting, with appearances in acclaimed productions including the hit series Top Boy, as well as films like The Intent and Offender. His career has also seen him perform on major stages such as Glastonbury and Wireless, and tour alongside global icons like Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube.
His collaborative reach further underscores his impact, having worked with leading names such as Ed Sheeran, Tion Wayne, JME, and D Double E. Recently, he also shared the stage with Robbie Williams at Emirates Stadium, marking another milestone in his cross-genre appeal.
Now signed to Lizzy Records, Scorcher continues to build momentum with a steady stream of releases and high-profile collaborations. “Roads” stands as a testament to his enduring influence—bridging the old and new school while keeping the spirit of Grime alive.
