Blanco – ‘City of God’ review: Harlem Spartan gets funky for his solo debut

Blanco – ‘City of God’ review: Harlem Spartan gets funky for his solo debut

... A key member of the legendary drill group, the Kennington star is coming into his own with a bold, idiosyncratic mixtape inspired by Brazilian funk ...

... Hailing from one of the most notorious drill groups in the UK, Kennington’s Harlem Spartan Blanco has finally release his first mixtape, ‘City of God’, without his boys behind him. Breathing life into quite a repetitive drill scene, the 22-year-old’s worldly sound and versatility is all over his debut mixtape, ‘City of God’. With his solo popularity rising out of the south side of the River Thames, Blanco’s ‘Pull Up’ was a soundtrack to pre-pandemic parties and raves. But with his debut solo mixtape, he shows that he doesn’t need to rely on his signature funk to make a good song. ...

... “It’s great to see my peers – Loski, MizorMac – doing good. They’re doing their thing and Bis was doing good [before his tragic killing in 2019]. Me and Bis, in the beginning, were making a couple tunes, and then the circle formed around us. Many close friends we didn’t even know rapped joined in – they surprised us. We weren’t really doing it for anything. We didn’t see a future in drill. We kinda saw getting to the top as a long shot – that’s what makes our success even better.
