Ratboy burst out of Essex earlier this year, a bedroom producer from the wrong side of the tracks.
Meshing together hip-hop beats, drum 'n' bass, spoken word samples and more, Ratboy's music is a vivid, honest portrayal of life in austerity era UK.
New mixtape 'Neighbourhood Watch' is online now, the songwriter's most imposing document to date. Containing stream of conscious narrative and a wealth of fresh material, it nods towards everyone from Metalheadz to Elvis Costello.
Check it out now.
