Key Information

Tyron Kaymone Frampton (born 18 December 1994), better known by his stage name Slowthai (stylised in lowercase), is a British rapper. Raised in Northampton,[3] he rose to popularity in 2019 for his gritty and rough instrumentals and raw, politically charged lyrics.

Slowthai placed fourth in the BBC Sound of 2019 and followed up in the same year with his debut studio album, Nothing Great About Britain. The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize; at Slowthai's 2019 Mercury Prize ceremony performance, he held a fake severed head of British prime minister Boris Johnson on stage, prompting controversy.[4] Ensuing years saw the releases of his second and third studio albums, Tyron (2021) and Ugly (2023).

Early life

[edit]

Tyron Kaymone Frampton was born on 18 December 1994[1] in Northampton to Gaynor, a teenage mother who is half-Barbadian. Frampton, his sister, and his brother were raised by their single mother in a council estate in the Lings area of Northampton.[5] His younger brother Michael died shortly after his first birthday, which greatly affected Frampton.[5][6] Frampton attended Northampton Academy and in 2011 attended Northampton College, where he studied for a BTEC in Music Technology. Frampton has ADHD[7] and frequently skipped school during his years at Northampton Academy, often spending time at a nearby underground "recording studio" at his friend's house, only stopping when his mother was forced to attend a compulsory court hearing.[8] After college, Frampton had multiple short stints in employment, working as a labourer, a plasterer, and at a branch of Next before being fired for breach of contract after he gave his friend employee discounts.[9]

Career

[edit]

2016–2019: Beginnings and Nothing Great About Britain

[edit]

The name Slowthai originates from his childhood nickname given to him due to his slow speech and drawled tone: "slow ty".[10] In 2016, he released his break-out single, "Jiggle", produced by Sammy Byrne.[11][12]

In 2017, Slowthai partnered up with indie record label Bone Soda to release his I Wish I Knew EP, "Murder" and "T n Biscuits".[13] Later in the same year, Slowthai signed his recording contract with Method Records and since has released his Runt EP and debut studio album, Nothing Great About Britain, which peaked at number 9 on the Official Charts on the week of release.[14]

In addition to being included in the BBC's Sound of 2019 poll[15] and NME's NME 100 list,[16] Slowthai as well received acclaim from publications such as DIY, Vevo and Metro.[17][18][19] Alongside that, his debut album was shortlisted for a Mercury Music Prize, losing to Dave's Psychodrama.[20]

Personal life

[edit]

Slowthai is a supporter of his hometown football team Northampton Town, with parts of the music video for "Gorgeous" having been filmed at Northampton Town's Sixfields Stadium.[40] He has also stated that he supports Liverpool F.C.[41]

In 2020, Slowthai became engaged to Russian singer and model Katya Kischuk, former member of the Russian girl group Serebro.[42][43][44] On 18 June 2021, Kischuk gave birth to their son.[45] Slowthai and Kischuk broke up in 2022.[46][47][48]

In a February 2023 Rolling Stone interview, Slowthai confirmed his relationship with British singer Anne-Marie,[48] whom he began dating in early 2022.[49] In 2024, it was revealed that the couple had secretly married in July 2022 in Las Vegas.[50][51] In February 2024, Anne-Marie gave birth to their daughter.[52] In April 2025, she gave birth to their son.[53][54]

[edit]

On 15 May 2023, Slowthai was charged with two counts of rape relating to an incident alleged to have happened in September 2021.[55] Following the charges, he denied the allegations in a statement, which read: "Regarding the allegations being reported about me. I categorically deny the charges. I am innocent and I am confident my name will be cleared."[56] On 15 June, Slowthai appeared at Oxford Crown Court alongside co-defendant Alex Blake-Walker. He pleaded not guilty to both charges. The trial was set to begin on 1 July 2024.[57] However, the proceedings were delayed and a new date was set for 25 November 2024.[58]

Trial

[edit]

The trial began on 25 November 2024 at Oxford Crown Court. The jury of twelve jurors, eight men and four women, was sworn in on the same day.[59][60]

On 26 November, the opening remarks were given by the prosecution and the defence. Heather Stangoe, prosecuting, told the court that the defendants allegedly raped two women on a rooftop, "high-fived, discussed 'tag teams' and contemplated swapping the girls." Ms Stangoe alleged that Blake-Walker raped one of the women while being encouraged by Frampton, and that Frampton raped the other one while being encouraged by his co-defendant. Their actions led to them being jointly charged with oral and vaginal rape. Blake-Walker was additionally charged with sexual assault.[61][62] Patrick Gibbs KC, defending Frampton, told the jury that the sexual activity between Frampton and one of the women was consensual, and that the case was about "willingly participating in something that is spontaneous and chaotic and in the excitement of the intoxication of the moment and on the other hand regretting it afterwards". He also mentioned the effect of celebrity.[63][64]

On 11 December, both the prosecution and the defence delivered their closing remarks. During his statement, Gibbs highlighted "a dozen problems" with the prosecution's case, while Sheryl Nwosu, defending Blake-Walker, questioned the reliability of the testimony provided by one of the complainants.[65][66] On 12 December, following a two-week trial, the jury retired to consider their verdicts.[67]

On 16 December, Slowthai and Blake-Walker were found not guilty of three joint counts of rape, while Blake-Walker was also found not guilty of one count of sexual assault.[68][69][70]

Musical style

[edit]

His music has been categorised as grime[71] and hip hop.[72] He often includes elements of punk rock,[73][74] leading to the categorisation of grime-punk.[75][76] In a 2019 article for the BBC, Kev Geoghegan described him as "either a grime MC making punk music or a punk making rap music".[77] In an article for Vice Media, Niloufar Haidari described his music as "caustically witty bars over abrasive beats that blend grime, trap, Soundcloud rap and even punk and screamo".[78]

He has cited as musical influences Gesaffelstein, Juelz Santana, Elliott Smith, Radiohead, Nirvana, Mount Kimbie, Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, Jay-Z, Sex Pistols, Justice, Oasis, Kanye West and Die Antwoord.[78][79]

Early life

Upbringing and family background

Tyron Kaymone Frampton, professionally known as slowthai, was born on 18 December 1994 in , . His mother, Gaynor, who is of partial Barbadian descent, gave birth to him at age 16 and raised him primarily as a after his English father departed the family when Frampton was three years old. Frampton was the eldest of three children; his younger brother, Michael John, was born with and died shortly after his first birthday, while he grew up alongside a younger . The family later included a whose abusive behavior prompted Gaynor to separate from him, relocating with Frampton and his during his late teens. The family resided on the Lings Forum council estate in eastern , a deprived area marked by economic hardship and social issues. Gaynor supported the household through various low-wage jobs, including at a card shop.

Initial exposure to music and local influences

Tyron Frampton, known as Slowthai, grew up in the Lings council estate in , a town characterized by limited opportunities and a working-class environment that shaped his early worldview. As a child, he encountered hip-hop through cultural touchstones like purchasing a VHS of 8 Mile at a local caravan park, which introduced him to the raw energy of rap narratives amid his unstable family circumstances, including frequent moves due to his single mother's financial struggles. In his youth, Frampton gained further exposure by sneaking into local venues such as Sidewinder raves, where he observed performances by grime artists including , Devlin, and , immersing himself in Northampton's nascent grime, rap, and scenes. Music circulated informally in the area via mobile phones before widespread access, fostering a DIY among estate youth. Local MCs served as his primary influences, reflecting a hyper-local ambition to succeed within rather than pursuing broader fame initially. Frampton began in his early teens by freestyling with older kids on the estate, treating the practice as an outlet akin to entries, before advancing to structured lyric-writing for greater complexity. During , he honed these skills at spots like Treasure Box Recordings, improvising without initially committing lyrics to paper, amid an environment where drug dealing or manual labor loomed as alternatives to creative pursuits. Northampton's outlier status in music—proximate to yet insular—amplified these grassroots influences, blending small-town grit with imported grime elements from acts like .

Musical career

Early releases and underground rise (2012–2018)

Tyron Kaymone Frampton adopted the stage name Slowthai upon releasing his debut single "Jiggle" in early 2016, having previously recorded under Slow Ty without public distribution. The self-produced track, initially created as a humorous experiment, marked his entry into the scene and received initial online traction via platforms like . From 2016 to 2017, Slowthai followed with additional independent singles such as "," distributing them through digital channels to cultivate a niche drawn to his Northampton-inflected accent and unpolished production. These releases emphasized gritty narratives of local life, blending grime rhythms with trap elements, which resonated in underground circles amid a wave of artists prioritizing regional authenticity over polished mainstream sounds. By 2018, his output accelerated with singles including "North Nights," "Ladies" on May 7, "Drug Dealer" on August 20, and "Polaroid," earning critical notice from for their abrasive energy and thematic focus on . On September 7, he released the five-track EP via , comprising songs like "Slow Down (Santa)," "GTFOMF," and "Disneyland," which critiqued consumerism and personal struggles in council housing contexts. The EP's raw aesthetic and limited physical vinyl run later that December amplified his DIY ethos. Slowthai's underground ascent during this era relied on viral sharing, slots, and media endorsements from and Brooklyn Rail, fostering a dedicated following for his punk-infused live energy and bars before label deals. This period laid groundwork for broader appeal, as his unfiltered style contrasted with more commercial contemporaries.

Nothing Great About Britain and mainstream breakthrough (2019)

Slowthai achieved significant recognition in early 2019 by placing fourth on the BBC Music Sound of 2019 poll, highlighting his rising prominence in the UK hip-hop scene. The lead single "Doorman", featuring production by Mura Masa and released in November 2018, built anticipation for his debut album with its aggressive delivery and satirical edge critiquing social norms. His debut studio album, Nothing Great About Britain, was released on May 17, 2019, through Method Records, comprising 14 tracks that blend grime, punk, and rap influences to explore themes of British identity, inequality, and personal struggle from a working-class perspective. Follow-up singles such as "Gorgeous" further showcased his raw lyricism and energetic production ahead of the album's launch. The album debuted at number 9 on the , spending three weeks in the top 100, and topped the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums Chart. Critical reception praised the album's visceral energy and socio-political commentary, earning a score of 82 out of 100 based on 15 reviews. Publications like lauded its compelling portrayal of a divided Britain, while noted its chaotic yet authentic representation of frustration. Nothing Great About Britain received a nomination for the 2019 , with Slowthai performing "Doorman" at the ceremony on September 19, where he controversially brandished a fake severed head resembling then-Prime Minister to emphasize the album's themes. Slowthai's mainstream breakthrough solidified with a high-energy performance at in June 2019 on the West Holts Stage, where his set, including "Doorman", drew widespread attention for its riotous crowd interaction and marked his emergence as a festival staple. These events, combined with the album's chart success and acclaim, propelled him from underground status to broader recognition in the UK music landscape.

Tyron and commercial peak (2020–2021)

Slowthai's second studio album, Tyron, was released on 12 February 2021 via Method Records, following the lead single "Cancelled" featuring Skepta on 9 February. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, achieving sales more than double those of the runner-up and leading in both streaming and physical purchases during its opening week. By mid-2022, Tyron had accumulated 47,186 sales according to Official Charts Company data. Critics praised Tyron for its introspective shift, dividing the tracklist into aggressive first-half cuts and more vulnerable second-half reflections, with features from artists including , James Blake, and A$AP Rocky. awarded it five stars, highlighting its emotional depth and production, while gave it 3.5 out of five, noting moshpit energy alongside newfound vulnerability. rated it three stars, critiquing over-reliance on guests but acknowledging high energy. This period marked Slowthai's commercial ascent, with Tyron earning a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the track "My High" (with Fred again..) at the 2021 ceremony. Post-release, he announced the Hell Is Home UK tour for late 2021, including headline dates across intimate venues, and supported Gorillaz at London's O2 Arena on 10 August 2021.

Ugly and artistic experimentation (2022–2023)

In November 2022, Slowthai released the single "i know nothing", produced with Dan Carey and tied to a Beats by Dre campaign emphasizing mutual support. On January 25, 2023, he followed with "Selfish", announcing his third studio album UGLY—an for "U Gotta Love Yourself"—slated for release on March 3 via Method Records and . "Selfish" accompanied a conceptual video in which Slowthai spent 24 hours confined in a mirrored cell, during which he created visual and wrote a to process themes of isolation and clarity. UGLY marked a deliberate stylistic pivot, integrating rock elements such as guitar, drums, and —skills Slowthai honed during production—with equal emphasis on singing and rapping, diverging from the grime and leanings of prior works. Primarily produced by Dan Carey at his studio, with additional input from Kwes Darko, Zach Nahome, and , the album drew from influences like Nirvana and to evoke the communal intensity of band dynamics. Slowthai described the project as a personal evolution: "The first album was the sound of where I’m from… this album is completely me—about how I feel and what I want to be," prioritizing emotional over earlier socio-political commentary. Preceding the full release, Slowthai issued "Feel Good" on February 7, 2023, featuring on backing vocals and characterized by its upbeat, mantra-like structure. Critics noted the album's experimental fusion of , punk, and hip-hop, with tracks like "Sooner" and "Yum" praised for manic energy and ironic catharsis, though some observed limitations in lyrical depth and vocal variety compared to his technical rap precision. Slowthai framed the shift as blending his rap formula with rock instrumentation: "Writing these kinds of songs is different to writing a rap, but at the same time, I’ve brought my formula of rap to rock."

Post-2023 developments and career impacts (2024–present)

Following his on December 16, 2024, Slowthai encountered ongoing discussions regarding the potential long-term effects on his career, with media outlets questioning whether reputational damage from the allegations would lead to sustained professional despite the jury's of not guilty on all counts. The legal proceedings, which spanned much of 2024, resulted in the cancellation of all scheduled performances, halting momentum gained from his 2023 Ugly. As of October 2025, Slowthai has not announced or released new music since the 2023 singles tied to , nor has he scheduled tour dates, indicating a prolonged hiatus attributable to the trial's disruptions and subsequent recovery period. Spotify data showed a spike in monthly listeners in August 2025, potentially driven by renewed interest post-acquittal, but this has not translated into confirmed projects. The absence of activity underscores the causal impact of the 2023 charges and 2024 trial on his trajectory, as industry hesitation amid public scrutiny—evident in pre-acquittal speculation on forums and news—delayed typical post-album cycles of touring and releases. While legally cleared, sources note that artist comebacks in similar cases often face barriers from platforms and promoters prioritizing perception over verdict, though no formal blacklisting has been reported.

Slowthai's music primarily draws from grime and hip-hop, characterized by aggressive, rapid-fire delivery over abrasive beats that incorporate trap percussion and lo-fi production elements. His early work fuses these foundations with influences, creating a hybrid dubbed "grime-punk" through distorted guitars, chaotic energy, and confrontational lyricism that mirrors the raw ethos of both genres. This fusion is evident in tracks blending snarling raps with screamo-like intensity and rap's experimental edge, eschewing rigid categorization for a volatile sound that prioritizes visceral impact over polished convention. In his debut album Nothing Great About Britain (2019), Slowthai emphasizes UK-specific grime rhythms while integrating hip-hop flows and punk's irreverence, resulting in acerbic bars over beats that evoke both street-level grit and anarchic rebellion. Subsequent releases like Tyron (2021) shift toward more melodic hip-hop structures, incorporating R&B-inflected hooks and collaborative production that softens the punk edge but retains grime's rhythmic propulsion and thematic bite. By Ugly (2023), he pivots to post-punk and alt-rock fusion, layering rap verses atop synthy electronics, driving guitars, and indie-rock catharsis, marking a deliberate genre switch-up that experiments with band instrumentation like bass and drums for a tortured, self-reflective palette. This evolution underscores Slowthai's aversion to genre stasis, as he has described grime itself as a punk subgenre rooted in DIY rebellion, allowing seamless blends of hip-hop's narrative drive with rock's instrumental abrasion and electronic dissonance. Critics note his range enables distinct sonic identities per project—grime-punk aggression in early singles, melodic introspection in mid-career, and raw unraveling later—while maintaining a core of unfiltered British urban realism.

Lyrical content and thematic evolution

Slowthai's , delivered in a Northamptonshire accent over aggressive punk-infused beats, initially centered on raw depictions of working-class British life, incorporating slang, cultural references, and critique. His debut album Nothing Great About Britain (2019) featured themes of austerity-era disillusionment, resilience amid decay, and social inequities, as seen in the title track's portrayal of a "depressed British environment" with nods to , government failures, and racial tensions. Tracks like "" employed metaphors of seasonal endurance to symbolize national grit, while "Gorgeous" and "Crack" explored and urban grit with versatile, electronic-tinged flows. This socio-political focus evolved toward personal on Tyron (2021), shifting from "harsh political themes" to confessional explorations of emotional multiplicity, ego, and existential doubt. The album's dual structure reflected this: the first half delivered pugilistic bravado in tracks like "Vex" and "Wot," boasting lines such as "the whole world is mine," while the second half turned melodic and vulnerable, addressing struggles, including ADHD in the closing track, with "volcanic" honesty progressing from untamed confidence to darker self-doubt. By (2023), an acronym for "U Gotta Love Yourself," Slowthai delved deeper into psychological unravelling, irony, and therapeutic futility, blending hedonistic litanies with pleas for amid life's impermanence. Lyrics grappled with "mindless ," unfulfilling sessions, and the facade of positivity—exemplified in "Feel Good," which subverts its title to lament underlying unhappiness—while emphasizing reclaimed and the transient nature of , as in reflections on "nothing can last." This progression marked a broader thematic arc from outward societal rage to inward emotional reckoning, informed by personal growth evident in singles like "nhs" (), which expressed and duality over chilled instrumentals.

Live performances and stage antics

Slowthai's live performances are marked by intense energy and chaotic crowd interaction, often evoking punk or hardcore shows rather than conventional hip-hop sets. Audiences frequently form mosh pits, with Slowthai directing movements like running in circles or splitting into sections for heightened participation. He maintains momentum by restarting tracks if crowd response falters, ensuring sustained intensity throughout sets. His debut Glastonbury appearance on June 29, 2019, at the West Holts Stage exemplified this style, delivering a riotous, sweat-drenched performance of tracks like "Doorman" amid explosive mosh pits and youthful aggression. Reviews highlighted the set's punk-like chaos, positioning it as a breakthrough for rap's live vitality. Similar dynamics appeared in tours like the 2019 Bandit run, where crowds stomped and screamed in unison, and the 2022 Hell is Home tour, fostering moshpit fervor in venues such as Mountford Hall. Stage antics contribute to his reputation for unpredictability, including jumping into crowds, teasing fans by walking aisles, and pre-COVID practices like spitting into audience members' mouths during close interactions. Provocative gestures, such as hurling a into the crowd during a 2020 altercation tied to his performance, underscore the boundary-pushing elements that amplify his shows' raw edge. These elements, while energizing supporters, have drawn scrutiny for excess, as noted in analyses of his eccentric persona driving stardom through over-the-top disruption. Even in intimate 2023 in-store gigs like Banquet Records, the manic delivery kept performances unforgettable despite scaled-down formats.

Despite strong UK chart performance across releases, Slowthai's commercial footprint remains primarily domestic, with limited breakthroughs on US charts like the 200.

Criticisms and cultural debates

Slowthai has faced criticism for behavior perceived as misogynistic, particularly during his acceptance speech for Hero of the Year at the 2020 , where he made suggestive comments toward comedian , prompting audience shouts of "misogynist" and leading to a confrontation with a that resulted in his ejection from the venue. Slowthai issued a public apology the following day, stating he had consumed excessive alcohol and that his actions were unacceptable, though some observers argued the incident highlighted broader challenges in addressing within the music industry. Critics have extended these concerns to his stage antics and , which often blend provocative humor with themes of working-class frustration, occasionally veering into content some interpret as reinforcing gender stereotypes, as seen in discussions of his eccentric, profanity-laced performances that echo punk traditions but risk alienating audiences sensitive to casual . These events have fueled cultural debates on the limits of artistic provocation in , with detractors questioning whether Slowthai's raw depiction of disenfranchisement justifies antics that blur into harassment, while supporters frame them as authentic expressions of austerity-era alienation akin to punk's confrontational legacy. Slowthai himself has critiqued "" as stifling creativity, arguing in a 2021 that it overlooks nuance in favor of swift condemnation, a view reflected in his Tyron (released February 12, 2021), which includes tracks like "Cancelled" addressing backlash without fully disavowing his persona. This stance has drawn counter-criticism for downplaying accountability, particularly from outlets wary of rap's historical tolerance for misogynistic tropes, though empirical analysis of his discography reveals a thematic toward rather than unmitigated aggression. Broader debates center on Slowthai's representation of Brexit-era Britain, where his lyrics critique and economic neglect—such as in Nothing Great About Britain ()—but invite scrutiny for relying on clichéd "gangsta" elements that some argue undermine his political bite with performative excess. Proponents contend this mirrors causal realities of limited opportunities in working-class communities, fostering a punk-rap hybrid that challenges sanitized narratives in music, yet skeptics, including music reviewers, highlight how such tropes perpetuate cycles of self-loathing without substantive resolution. These tensions underscore ongoing discussions in about balancing cultural authenticity with ethical boundaries, with Slowthai's career illustrating the friction between acclaim for and backlash over personal conduct.

Influence on UK rap and broader impact

Slowthai's integration of punk aesthetics into , characterized by aggressive flows, chaotic instrumentation, and mosh-pit-inducing live shows, marked a departure from the scene's dominant grime and paradigms, encouraging subsequent artists to experiment with genre-blending and high-energy performance styles. His debut album Nothing Great About Britain emphasized raw, politically incisive lyrics critiquing austerity, class divides, and Brexit-era disillusionment, drawing from working-class experiences to amplify voices from non-London locales in a historically capital-centric genre. This approach broadened UK rap's stylistic palette, infusing it with rebellion and twisted, narrative-driven storytelling that prioritized visceral emotionality over polished trap beats, as evident in tracks like "Doorman" which fused hip-hop with garage-punk urgency. By 2021, his trajectory exemplified the mainstream ascent of UK hip-hop, with sales exceeding 100,000 units for TYRON in its first week via Official Charts data, signaling rap's evolution into a commercially viable outlet for amid multicultural subgenre fusions like grime and garage. Beyond rap, Slowthai's broader cultural footprint positioned him as a voice for Britain's overlooked , channeling misspent council-estate lives and pub-culture grit into anthems that critiqued systemic neglect, influencing parallel discussions in indie and alternative scenes about and economic hardship. His unfiltered, riotous —often clashing trousers-off antics with substantive bars—challenged rap's , fostering a legacy of unapologetic authenticity that echoed in the UK's post-austerity music surge, though some critiques noted its overshadowing by rather than sustained innovation.
