Slowthai is a popular British rapper and lyricist. He rose to fame as a Brexit-era singer. Tyrone overcame a not very easy path to his dream - he survived the death of his brother, attempted murder and poverty. Today, the rapper is trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, although before that he used hard drugs.
Rapper's childhood
Tyrone Kaimone Frampton (real name of the singer) was born on December 18, 1994 in the small town of Northampton (UK). He was a modest and quiet child, but this did not prevent him from being interested in the world.
Nickname Slowthai (Slow Thai) the guy got in childhood. He got his nickname for a reason. When the guy was asked about something, he answered quietly and indistinctly, and when offended, he was silent. Tyrone could not put his offenders in their place.
He was brought up in one of the poorest areas of Northampton. There was absolute chaos. The areas were saturated with the smell of alcoholic beverages and weed. Naturally, Tyrone did not manage to avoid bad habits. Once they tried to stab him with a heavy instrument. And an unknown man tried to deal with my mother with the help of sharp glass.
Only the mother was engaged in the upbringing of the guy. The father abandoned the family when Tyrone was very young. They lived very poorly. From time to time, inadequate suitors of the mother appeared in the house. And it all felt like some kind of horror movie.
Youth Slowthai
As a teenager, Tyrone drank alcoholic beverages and smoked marijuana. Interestingly, today he completely managed to eradicate bad habits from life. The guy rarely drank and said that there was no place for drugs in his life.
The guy also had a younger brother who died of muscular dystrophy. At the time of his death, he was only 1 year old. After a series of tragic events, Tyrone was forced to move to Hibaldstow in Scunthorpe. His heart was filled with suffering and pain. He dressed in black, followed the culture of emo. And in his headphones the immortal hits of Linkin Park played.
Later, the teenager became interested in freestyle. He began writing lyrics and music. Tyrone is very lucky. The fact is that at that time his aunt met with a promoter. He was directly involved in the birth of grime - a combination of reggae, acid house and jungle.
In 2011, Tyrone became a student at Northampton College. The guy decided to gain knowledge in the field of modern music technology. Life has made its own adjustments. He didn't go to work. First, the guy got a job as a plasterer, and then as an ordinary auxiliary worker in a clothing store.
Slowthai's creative path
The rapper's creative biography began in the basement of one of Peckham's nightclubs. Then no one knew the performer, but Tyrone did not feel the excitement before going on stage.
In 2017, the artist's discography was opened by a bright collection. The rapper released his debut LP Nothing Great About Britain. In addition to the main track, the album included a number of singles: Doorman, Peace of Mind and Gorgeous.
The story inspired the artist to record his debut album in this format - one day he began to wonder why his native country, Britain, is called the Great. When he re-read many sources, he concluded that his "country is a bunch of shit, and it's not great at all ...".
In 2019, he went on a big tour of the cities of the United States of America. He performed at the same venue with the Brockhampton group. Then such a funny thing happened to him - a rabid fan did not want to let the singer go on stage. Her conditions were as follows - spit in her mouth. Tyrone did not have to be persuaded for a long time. He fulfilled the request of an inadequate "fan".
Details of the artist's personal life
In 2018, the British performer met with a charming girl, Betty. She even starred in the video for Ladies. Soon the couple broke up.
In 2020, there were rumors in the press that the performer intended to marry Katya Kishchuk. She was once a member of the Serebro team. Photos appeared on Catherine's social networks confirming the proximity of the stars. Then it turned out that they spent quarantine together.
At the same time, journalists became aware that the young people met in February 2020. They just flirted on social media. Celebrity pages are filled with romantic photos. The couple is not shy about their feelings. They openly kiss on camera and confess their love to each other.
During this period of time, the rapper lives in his native Northampton with Catherine and his mother. The family has a luxurious house. Not so long ago, Tyrone shared with subscribers that his lover taught how to cook borscht and revealed the taste of vodka. Most likely, there is a serious relationship between the couple.
In 2021 year Katya Kishchuk gave birth to a son from a rap artist. The happy couple named their son Rain.
Slowthai at present
In 2020, the rapper put on a provocative show at the NME Awards. The singer took the stage and told the presenter very frank compliments. Then he decided to play with the audience. The rapper shouted obscene language into the hall. The audience did not remain silent and responded to the star in return. An altercation broke out in the hall. The guards managed to pacify the rapper and the invited guests.
In the same year, the presentation of the composition Feel Away took place (with the participation of James Blake and Mount Kimbie). The guys dedicated the track to the deceased brother of the rapper. The song was received very warmly by critics and fans of Slowthai's work. The musical innovations did not end there. A month later, the rapper's repertoire was replenished with the NHS track. Later, a video was also recorded for the song.
In addition, Slowthai revealed that he is preparing a second studio album for fans. Most likely, the Tyron record will be released on February 5, 2021. The rapper focused on the fact that he recorded the composition at a difficult time for himself.
At the beginning of 2021, Slowthai pleased with the release of the single Mazza (featuring A$AP Rocky). A month later, in a collab with Skepta, the rap artist presented the track Cancelled.
A few days later, the studio album Tyron was released. Featuring: Skepta, Dominique Fike, James Blake, A$AP Rocky and Denzel Curry. The album was mixed by Method Records.
