London rapper Barney Artist is doing well for himself. His introspective debut album Home is Where the Art Is (2018) was followed by a sold-out a UK tour, a European tour with Tom Misch, a massive Glastonbury set and a FIFA 19 sync. Full of infectious beats and bars, his follow-up record, Bikes are Bikes has been met with equal acclaim. With an inkling that he’ll be moving onto bigger venues pretty swiftly, don’t miss his show at Soup Kitchen this December
