On the rise Brit rap collective House of Pharaohs are the team players proving that there’s strength in numbers for Notion 84!
“Speaking for myself,” muses House of Pharaohs’ Kevin Taylor “I feel like I can do anything. Any of us can, I’ve witnessed it..!” The London collective are currently chilling in the offices of Parlophone. Having spent the last six years building a cult following, with a fiercely independently aesthetic that has seen them formulate their own UK trap sound and sell show tickets by the thousand, they’re now gingerly easing themselves into the process of working with a major label.
The short term pay-offs are immediately apparent; an assistant has been sent out for food, and the lads — six of the group are here today, including rappers Sam Wise, Bandana, Kevin Taylor, Danny Stern and AJ, along with manager G Low — are ploughing through buckets of take-away. Surrounding them are bags of Puma gear — there’s been some serious gifting going on and it looks like everyone got a sack full of creps and tops.
