Rising rap phenom BlazeYL has just dropped his latest single, “Meaningful Captions,” a hard-hitting track that encapsulates his distinctive ‘New Wave’ sound and skippy flow. Known for his dynamic role in the rap collective House of Pharaohs, BlazeYL has quickly made a name for himself as a solo artist, captivating fans with his punchline-driven lyricism and sharp cadence. Produced by Asmus Harm, “Meaningful Captions” serves as the perfect soundtrack to Blaze’s signature style, with high-energy verses set against a powerful beat that showcases his relentless drive and creative ambition.
“Meaningful Captions” plays off Blaze’s impactful presence on social media, featuring artwork inspired by his most memorable captions—each one reflecting his fearless ambition and dedication to his craft.

As a prominent figure in the UK’s alternative rap scene, BlazeYL’s journey began in Kennington, where he attended the Brit School and joined forces with Sam Wise at just 14, igniting a creative partnership that helped pave his path into the rap world. His early Soundcloud releases garnered a dedicated fan base, and he made a memorable appearance with a freestyle on Kenny Allstar’s Mad About Bars, solidifying his place as a vital voice in the alternative rap landscape. Known for collaborating with some of the UK’s brightest talents, including JME, Blanco, Arz, Kairo Keyz, and AntsLive, Blaze’s versatility shines through as he continues to merge scenes and genres.
Having earned praise from industry heavyweights like Tiffany Calver, Manga Saint Hilare, Jammer, DJ Semtex, and Rebecca Judd, Blaze’s razor-sharp lyricism and electrifying sound have cemented his status as one of UK rap’s most exciting new talents. His signature ‘New Wave’ sound—a unique blend of rap, trap, grime, and drill—pushes musical boundaries and demonstrates his ability to redefine the genre.
BlazeYL kicked off 2024 with ‘Only The House VOL:1’, a collaboration with House of Pharaohs that culminated in a celebrated performance at Skepta’s Big Smoke Festival alongside JME. With support from major outlets such as Clash, Notion, Wonderland, and Complex, BlazeYL’s influence continues to grow with every release. His sold-out headline show, ‘The Cost of Being’, held at The Waiting Room on September 24th, featured explosive performances from artists like Coults, Arz, Sam Wise, AntsLive, and Tommy Saint, adding to the night’s electric energy.
