Gully is among the most exciting young rappers in south London. After a rapid rise, the 18-year-old already has a collection of viral singles and a debut mixtape to his name, with a quick flow and natural ear for a hook that’s turning heads around the capital and beyond. He’s worked with Backroad Gee, PS Hitsquad, and Kwengface on singles including the irresistible underground hit ‘Ying Dat’, but on every one of his releases Gully is the main attraction.
He grew up in Peckham, raised by his mum. In a fast, diverse, and often challenging environment, Gully says his birthplace made him who he is as much as it might sometimes have messed with his head. He moved between schools throughout his teenage years, eventually leaving for good before he could sit his GCSEs. Around the same time, his football club folded, leaving him with lots of spare time. Needing something to occupy his energetic mind, he found music as the ideal creative outlet.
