Having shared the stage with Slimzee and Flowdan at major venues like Hidden Warehouse in Nottingham and Manchester's Rebellion Club, the MC of the next generation of 0115 has been able to amplify his presence at stage shows already. His debut EP ‘Let's Av It’ released on Window Kid's Wow Camp Records label making an instant splash in the scene and showcased his potential on a massive scale through the Crucast MC’s platform. 2023 saw the launch of the monthly show of Antisocial Services on Lowertone, alongside JJ and Panic Pat, a link up that is swiftly gaining traction. His music has found endorsement from renowned Nottingham artists like Window Kid, Frost, Kyeza, Snowy, Shadow, and Phidizz with collaborations already locked down with the majority, whilst also getting works down with other well-known artists of the Grime and Dubstep scene including Vandull and Daseplate. Influenced by a broad spectrum of not just Nottingham artists mentioned, being an avid follower of his local scene growing up, Avaword also takes a lot of inspiration from the heavy metal genre with his dark and aggressive attitude toward lyricism, especially from Slipknot. A crucial part of Avawords journey so far is his friendship and collaboration with his favourite producer and close friend, Frost. Despite only starting his music career officially twelve months ago, he has successfully produced and released two collaboration EPs within six months, a testament to Frost's mentorship and his personal dedication which will go a long way in the making of the MC shaking up todays Grime scene. Hailing from Nottingham's torchbearing 140 scene, Frost is a dynamic force in music production, engineering, and mixing. Having played at numerous local clubs including Bodega, Hidden, and Bar 11, Frost's sound also resonates internationally with successful tours across America, Canada, and extensive parts of Europe, most notably as 1 half of the duo - Congi. Frost's impressive discography boasts over 30 physical vinyl releases and a slew of digital releases through reputable record labels such as Pondlife, Run Outs, and Heyoka. Frost's work has earned regular support from established artists like Window Kid, Darkzy, Sicaria, Main Phase, and Riz La Teef, plus Jack Dat and Sir Spyro giving consistent plays on the airwaves on Rinse FM and BBC Radio 1Xtra respectively. A standout career highlight of recent is the infamous CKY RIP release in 2020, a highly sought-after record with three represses on 12" vinyl releases on Pondlife, before dropping a successful collaboration album 'ColdLife' with Kyeza at the end of 2022. As a freelance audio engineer at DTR Studios in Nottingham, Frost has worked with an expansive list of local talent listing nearly every notable MC out of Nottingham, including Window Kid, Kyeza, Snowy, BIGMINI, Kibo, Shxdow, Phidizz, and Pubzy. Influenced by the likes of Ironsoul, Low Deep, Wiley, Dizzee Rascal, and Roll Deep, Frost's sound is a fusion of unique elements that have transcended through Grime, Dubstep and Drill over the past two decades. Beyond his musical accomplishments, Frost is an established arts practitioner and tutor at a local arts organisation, committed to making music production accessible to all. His dedication and passion for music have cemented his standing as a central figure in the UK underground. Avaword: www.instagram.com/avaworddaawful Frost: www.instagram.com/gaz_congi_frost
