Hailing from Leyton, East London. RAPTUM is an emcee/producer with a tireless appetite for the creation of avant-garde, thought provoking and Range Rover thumping music. Specialising in the self-coined genre entitled ‘Crud Groove’ ; RAPTUM takes every opportunity to cut into a record with percussive precision and passion, charged by emotive soundtracks with deep and sophisticated grooves. RAPTUM grew up on MTV Base, Walkmans and Hi-Fi Sound Systems, learning songs and lyrics nuance for nuance until he started crafting his own; meticulous by design, rhythmic by nature and crud by nurture.
