Chiedu Oraka to release ‘21st Kid’ EP
It’s out next month.

Hull rapper Chiedu Oraka has announced details of a new EP.
Pals with fellow Hull upstarts LIFE (he joined the band on stage at Leeds Festival in the summer), he’ll release ’21st Kid’ on 15th December, the EP named after 21st Ave, the street he grew up on.
Produced by fellow Lockdown collective member, DeezKid, the six-track record features previously-heard tracks ‘Flex’ and ‘NHE’ as well as brand new songs - plus ‘21st Mum’ - a spoken-word interlude courtesy of Chiedu’s mother.
The track listing is:
21st Kid
Flex
Rampant
