Feisty London rapper Paigey Cakey is fast emerging as one of the brightest young hopefuls in British hip-hop. Primetime BBC radio DJ Fearne Cotton has already pledged her support, while nifty collaborations with Princess Nyah and Lady Leshurr have helped raise Paigey’s profile with the 1Xtra crowd.
Paigey's steady rise hasn’t been a fluke: she has spent the last two years polishing up her rhymes, plugging away at her craft and putting her cheeky stamp across the genre. Now the 20-year-old Hackney local is in possession of one of the most exciting voices in the genre, spitting confident rhymes and providing a witty narrative about the world around her.
Earlier this year she signed to Chipmunk’s Alwayz Recording, a label famous for breaking UK talent. The bass-filled heavyweight track Same Way (video below) marks her first release for the label and is lifted from the forthcoming Next Paige EP due on 17 November.
If you haven’t caught Paigey's music yet, you may recognise her face. Over the past couple of years she's featured in a number of British films including urban horror Attack the Block and has appeared in BBC drama Waterloo Road.
