Wu-Lu: The Open Fund for Music Creators
South London’s Wu-Lu is refreshingly straddling two disparate worlds of music. After two years spent experimenting with the off-kilter brilliance of J Dilla’s hip hop with ounces of lo-fi, psychedelic guitar to great effect, the multi-hyphenate artist is now comfortable in his own lane. Now due to release his first full feature project resulting of late nights spent delving into the wormhole of his own mind and guitar.
Raised in a creative environment built by a professional contemporary dancing mother and afro-jazz trumpeter, his run-ins with music were early and frequent. The highly-approved N.A.I.S. (2018) and S.U.F.O.S. (2019) EP’s followed in a similar vein of cross-genre brilliance as showcased on his impressive entry for FACT Magazine’s infamous Against The Clock series. His assured subject matters and musicianship continues to impress, tapping into racial injustice, black empowerment and self-exploration.
