Thai Mason

This summer, Birmingham rapper Thai Mason will drop his new mixtape, As Above, So Below. To kick off the announcement, we're premiering the tape's first single "Hold Up", produced by Viennese beatmaker salute. Over salute's skippy, minimal synth production, Mason delivers a nimble, UKG-inspired flow that calls to mind fellow Brummie Mike Skinner at his most upbeat. Elsewhere on the tape (which will see a new single released every week across the summer), beats come courtesy FKJ, Karma Kid, Bearcubs, Wize and El.Train. With names like that attached to the project, the smart money says Thai Mason will be a name everyone knows this time next year.
