Biography

Infusing UK Grime and Hip-Hop with Capcom-esque electronica, Freaker's unique style of grime caught the attention of English grime MC Tempa T in 2012. Rising from local notoriety after the release of Tempa T's "Next Hype" Freaker went on to collaborate with then freshman Detroit rapper Danny Brown, on the critically acclaimed "Blueberry (Cocaine & Pills) EP."[3] Freaker later produced a track entitled "Handstand" for Brown's fourth album, Old.[4]

In addition to his solo work, Freaker leads Nu Brand Flexxx, a London-based grime collective composed of rappers Boyadee, Wonder and Peigh. Freaker both produced and rapped on the group's 2012 premiere release, The Trip EP. Additionally, Freaker has collaborated with Scissor Sisters, remixing their 2012 single Baby Come Home, the third single off their fourth studio album Magic Hour. Freaker has also worked with British indie trio London Grammar, Oakland rapper Gita and M.I.A.'s protege Afrikan Boy.
