His groundbreaking self-titled debut LP shot to #3 in the UK charts, has been streamed over 250 million times globally and is one of the top-selling independent debuts of the year. Most recent hits 'Floss' feat. Not3s and MoStack and the wildly popular 'Kiss and Tell' feat. Skepta have kept the momentum rolling from the acclaimed record, each collecting over 10 million Spotify streams.
Joining the wall of fame, AJ Tracey has gone on to win a number of awards including the MTV Brand New title and DJ Mag's Best British MC recognition plus nominations for MOBOs, BRITS, and AIM Awards. On an international level, the 25-year-old was named in Forbes 30 Under 30 and has gained support from the likes of Pitchfork, The Fader, Dazed & Confused, Wonderland Magazine, i-D, NME, Noisey, The Independent, The Guardian and as well as ICON, GQ Australia and Acclaim.
