Gracing us with a live set to remember, Mancunian Just Banco smashed his afternoon slot on the BBC Radio 1Xtra Stage. Within a few seconds of his first high-energy and explosive track, the crowds came flooding into a chorus of beers, cheers and screams. Although Just Banco’s tracks are a blend of R&B, Grime and Rap, he’s had to create a new genre for himself – Trapanese – a fusion of trap, hip-hop and Japanese aesthetics.

2019 has already been big for the effortlessly cool Just Banco as he was named as one of NME’s 100 essential new artists for this year – and they’re definitely right about that. It looks like the next year could be an even bigger one for Just Banco – make sure you get to know him right now and impress your mates with his back catalogue of incredibly catchy hits.
