“This has received significantly bigger.”
Native James has introduced grime steel to Glastonbury, and Glasto is lapping it up. The Ipswich-born rapper’s irresistible mix of beats, bars and groove-laden nu steel swagger goes down a storm with a fast-growing crowd on the Greenpeace stage. It’s James’ second set of the day having popped up on the BBC Introducing stage just a few hours in the past, and his inventory has seemingly doubled already.
From the second he and his three bandmates bounce out on stage, that rarest of Glasto unicorns is noticed – there’s a mosh pit booting off! “They advised us we are able to’t do a wall of dying,” James teases just a few songs later. To be truthful, the wall of dying that follows is likely one of the cuddliest you’ll see, however all of them rely, and it’s not the final one which erupts right this moment.
Musically, James attracts closely from millennial steel giants like Korn, Limp Bizkit and System Of A Down – he even throws in a welcome burst of early System basic Struggle? to spark a little bit of bonus bedlam. There’s additionally a basic, Slipknot-style ‘jumpdafuckup’ and, to combine issues up, a cameo from UK hip hop veteran Professor Inexperienced, who pops up through the duo’s latest collab Block.
It goes down so nicely that when a packed-out Greenpeace area calls for an encore, they play it once more, Inexperienced and all. For a primary time at Glastonbury (OK, technically this one was his second), Native James has made a hell of an impression. He’ll be again right here on larger levels, assured. Don’t sleep on this lad.
