Among them is Kojey Radical, gravel-voiced spoken-word poet and mixed-media artist who is so snappily dressed he could make Kanye West break a sweat. However, the 24-year-old’s releases feel genuinely radical. “He said, ‘Write with the urgency and honesty of someone [with] a gun to your head’.” Kojey Radical doesn’t want to censor himself because he doesn’t want to leave room for regret. If that sounds a little surreal, the EP is also Kojey Radical’s way of reassessing his views on manhood and sexuality. He has already been called a voice of a generation but he says he’s not seeking fame, just change.
