From the same East London grime scene that spawned Wiley, Durrty Goodz and Shystie among others, Kano has a similar star quality, character and pedigree. Once labelled as the “UK version of Jay-Z”, Kano’s breezy self-assuredness and laid-back vocals have given the UK hip hop scene a much needed shot in the arm.
Kano will make a much anticipated return with a new studio album titled Hoodies All Summer– out 30th August.
Produced by Blue May and Jodi Milliner, Hoodies All Summer is the sixth studio album from Kano, and his first release since 2016’s acclaimed Mercury-nominated Made In The Manor.
