His debut album, “H.I.P.H.O.P”, released at the start of 2026, features multiple rappers and artists from the North of England, including Jimmy Curtin, Bx, Keaz and more. The 15-track album brings together four years of work, updating Will’s favourite older songs from his discography with a consistent, professional style. Magnus Fielding of Monomyth Record undertook the vocal and live drum recording, as well as the mixing and mastering, at Eiger Studios in Leeds.
He’s joined on stage by drummer Corban Martin and bassist Flynn Watson, and plans to bring more instruments on board.
