DEEZER NEXT 2018: YXNG BANE

Deezer NEXT is all about supporting the next generation of great music and, in 2018, one of our biggest tips for future stardom is east London’s Yxng Bane. Having already recorded over 18 million views on YouTube for “Rihanna” and magically reworked Sheeran’s “Shape of You”, Yxng Bane is already well on his way. Watch him burn into another stratosphere through 2018 and beyond.

Introducing: Yxng Bane

AKA: Your bestie. Or in Yxng Bane’s words: “An artist who doesn’t belong to a genre but expresses himself however he needs to express himself.”

Hometown: Canning Town/Custom House, east London, UK.

Who is he? Yxng Bane is a 21-year-old British rapper who has topped the UK charts with his feature on the single “Bestie” by Yungen and received viral attention for his remix of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You”, along with the single “Rihanna”.

Fun fact: The name Yxng Bane comes from Tom Hardy’s character in the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.

The sound: An intoxicating blend of afro-swing, rap, grime and dancehall, Yxng Bane’s sound is authentic and diverse.

Why we love him: Every track he puts out is a certified banger. Expect to hear Yxng Bane everywhere this summer.
