Nafe Smallz

Nafe Smallz grew up in the British town of Luton, situated roughly 30 miles northwest of London. His breakthrough in the underground U.K. rap scene arrived during 2013 upon issuing his debut mixtape New Year's Eve Special. Numerous tracks limited to online release followed throughout the subsequent year, leading to his second mixtape Ozone Music in 2015. The next year brought an invitation for Smallz to record a session for Charlie Sloth's influential Fire in the Booth series, after which he closed out 2016 by opening for Skepta at the Alexandra Palace concert. Several tracks emerged from Smallz across 2017, among them the woozy single Gucci that surfaced in December. Wanna Know Ya appeared early in 2018, prior to the release of his third mixtape Movie Music, which contained guest collaborations involving Stefflon Don, Chip, and Yung Fume.
