Finally in the spotlight, Hornsey man MoStack’s debut covers familiar territory, but it’s a joyful experience

Looking back, 2017 was a golden year for melodious hooks in UK rap music – and most of that was down to MoStack. The Hornsey rapper is at the forefront of a London scene blurring the lines between Afro-pop, hip-hop, grime, and dancehall, and in 2017 alone defined the sound by appearing on ubiquitous singles such as Fisherman with J Hus, Screw & Brew with Mist, and No Words with south Londoner Dave.
