Aitch, a teenage rapper from New Moston in north Manchester, emerged as part of the Northern Quarterz collective with his track Straight Rhymez.

What began as an impromptu freestyle session with his friends later transpired into one of his most popular videos, racking up more than 11 million views on YouTube, leading to tastemakers including Louis Vuitton men's artistic director Virgil Abloh calling him 'the future'. Following the video’s viral success, Aitch was invited to join Kenny Allstar to perform on his BBC Radio 1Xtra show and has showcased his freestyling ability on MTV and GRM Daily. He’s also opened for veteran UK rappers including Wiley and featured on tracks with Russ and Young T and Bugsey, which have received support from BBC Radio 1, subsequently reaching the top 40 in the Official Charts. This summer, Aitch is set to light up the festival stages, performing at Reading & Leeds and Croatia’s Outlook Festival.
