So I ended up heading out to to LA, to intern for a record label. So I started taking my writing more seriously, stopped listening to other people and started doing my own thing.

Bishop Briggs and Sueco are using their platforms to empower people. Oh, for sure! How did you first stumble across hip-hop? Was it an early influence on you? When I was young, I was a massive Michael Jackson fan. I used to dance to all the videos I mean, I even got the Bad logo tattooed on my arm.
Then when I was 10, 11, 12, I remember the Marshall Mathers LP came out and my mum was one of the only mums that used to let me listen to it in the car with my friends, despite the swearing and shit.
Pharrell became another huge idol of mine from there. Got you. It gets me stoked that a British guy is representing us in this current generation of hip-hop.
Was it a conscious decision to make something universal that will not only translate over to the States, but also fill a void back home? Like, the thing with being British is people are really proud to make British music. Like, you want to represent the UK.
Like, the beats are very important to me. For me, it has to feel right, and for me, the whole American hip-hop thing is what I want to listen to in the club or wherever else. Of course, I love grime too, but something in my heart has always just been about US hip-hop.
This is Danny Seth in a project, and yes, I can actually rap. I want everyone to feel like they can listen to it. The white kids, the black kids, the rich kids, the poor kids. You mentioned Perception back there — the upcoming project.
This is my big, big thing. Every song on the project is very different. I just want as many people to listen to it as possible. I need to give them something first. When are you hoping to release it? Is it almost ready to go? I feel like I have to vibe with the right sort of person for it all to be on the right level.
It will come in conjunction with the Perception release. We might actually end up releasing the second part first. I just want it to be perfect. Honestly, I think my biggest enemy in this is myself. Talk me through that experience. That was wild, man. One of my good friends, Jesse, is the lead singer in a band called The Neighbourhood and it was his showcase.
You had Virgil Abloh DJing for you at that showcase too. How did you guys hook up? Like, I respect everything that he does. Do you ever go to him for advice? Yeah man, definitely for creative advice. You know, if you can get the nod from Yeezus How are you feeling about that? I fucking dreamed about coming home and playing. Like, the only other London show I accepted was a private show in Shoreditch House [earlier this year] for my friends and family.
I just wanted to try out the new music and see how it went. My whole movement is called The British Are Coming. We also have a clothing line called Boadicea , which was meant to drop two years ago but we got jacked by a certain streetwear company.
What are the goals for ? Taking over the world. After that, my whole mindset flipped. Finally, shout them all out. Shout out The Hundreds and shout out Winslade. I appreciate it, man. Follow Danny on Twitter dannyseth or Instagram galeriedeseth. For more music, head straight to his Soundcloud.
Back to top.
