A One-Person Studio
MrProphecy is a rapper, producer and animator from Luton. There is no team, no label and no studio budget behind this — the writing, the production, the mixing and the animation all come from the same desk.
That's unusual. Most artists with animated videos commission them. Here the person who wrote the verse also drew the frames, which is why the visuals track the music so closely.
The roots are in Sons of South, the UK hip hop collective behind the All Eyes On The South mixtapes.
The Luton Sound
What comes out of a town twenty-five miles north of London that isn't trying to sound like London.
🎤 UK hip hop first
British accents, British references, no transatlantic affect. The crew years set that and it stuck.
🎛️ Genre-agnostic
Deep house, UK garage, soca, ambient, electronic. The catalogue moves wherever the track needs to go.
🎬 Visual by default
Animation isn't promotion for the music, it's part of it. That's the thing Luton produced that nowhere else did.
