UK Underground Rap Talent AJ Live

From Hanoi Rock City:
HRC Proudly Presents raw UK underground rap talent AJ live in Hanoi, Friday 21st October. Supported by DJ Polo and Dirty Fingrz.

Hip-hop artist, freestyler and lyricologist AJ will bring his crowd-crunching rhymes and flows to grip the capital of Vietnam for one sizzling hot night of hip-hop. AJ’s success in the UK has been built on his clever wordplay, rhyming patters and quirky metaphors, delivering a current sound with an old school vibe.

With more than 10 years of experience under his belt, AJ has an impressive backlog of live shows, having performed at top festivals, The Secret Garden Party, Whychwood festival on ‘BBC Introducing’ stage, Invincible… and having shared the stage with some of the biggest names in today’s UK hip-hop, electronic and soul music scene, including:

Chase and Status, Ed Sheeran, Example, Annie Mac, and as the main support on Beatbullyz UK tour.

AJ has released two studio albums; most recently 2010’s ‘Lyricologist’, produced by ‘MrO’. His early love for music was inspired by acts such as the late Michael Jackson, Wu-Tang Clan, Sizzla and Big L. His diverse listening patterns have given him the taste for his own musical flow drawing on these inspirations to create rhymes reminiscent of these 90s hip hop acts.

At this moment in time, when UK hip-hop, dance, rap, grime and urban music is arguably in the best shape it has been for years, HRC is delighted to open the gates to this top, touring act.

Hanoi’s own DJ Polo will also be rocking the crowd, along with a special treat late night reggae set from the man AJ himself after the rhymes, and UK trip hop sounds provided by Dirty Fingrz.
