East London native Eklipse is a lyricist with a distinctively deep voice that is instantly recognisable on any track. From the tender age of 9, Eklipse wrote poetry as a form of expression, which allowed him to find confidence in his words. Performing from the age of 11, he then went on a journey to be a lyricist in his own right and in 2015 established himself as an artist. He released his first project ‘Intimate Affairs’ in February 2015 and ‘Dark Matters: The Mixtape’ later in August. From there he has been consistent with his music, yet experimental with his sound. He then released ‘The Haze Cassette (THC)’ in 2016), a smooth project with relaxing sounds along side lyrics that almost intoxicate you. Then we have the hard hitting project that is the East Manna Man EP which is packed with honest lyrics and dark melodies. His scope becomes even more expansive when we then look at the Intimate Affairs trilogy. From 2015 to 2019, Eklipse released 3 projects of strictly R&B. Catering to a wider audience than many would expect from a rapper with roots in Grime. Eklipse has also dropped a string of music visuals along the way, which have been released on platforms such as SBTV and GRM Daily. During the pandemic he contributed to the ground-breaking project ‘The Loosies’ alongside many other amazing artists. He seems to have stepped into 2022 in the same vein with a number of single releases. This has undoubtedly made him one to watch as an artist on the rise. -
