Get To Know... Master Peace • Neu • DIY Magazine

Hello and welcome to DIY’s introducing feature, Get To Know… getting you a little bit closer to the buzziest new acts that have been catching our eye as of late, and working out what makes them tick.

Recently we’ve had South London four-piece Dry Cleaning, experimental vocal group Shards, rock’n’rollers Vinyl Staircase and now we’re bringing you Master Peace!

Although he’s been buzzing around for quite sometime now, the South London rapper has finally dropped his official first track ‘Night Time’. Blending the indie and rock influences that he grew up on with his love for rap, we caught up with him to find out more!
