Hailing from East London, Opium is a mere 19 years old and yet, has collaborated with some of the biggest names in Grime – people such as Wiley, Godsgift and Dot Rotten.
It was under Wiley’s tutelage that Opium forged his style – a rapid delivery of Grime lyrics brimming with imagery and turn of phrase. Indeed, Opium’s style is often reminiscent of Wiley around the Tunnel Vision era.
With Opium preparing to release his debut mixtape later this year – mixed exclusively by MSM Engineer – Grime fans can be sure that real Grime music is going nowhere. A new breed of MC, shaped by the foundation, Opium is certainly one to watch.
To prove it, he has put together a small EP of tracks available for free download! Called the ‘Out of This World EP’, expect esoteric lyrics, wicked delivery and hard riddims.
