There seems to be something going on in Hull. This is the 2nd great track I’ve heard from the region this week. This one is by the self described “unapologetically Northern, passionate wordsmith” ‘Jodie Langford’ with the track ‘Disturbed’. Walking the line between spoken word and rap, Jodie’s delivery in her native accent gives the track gravitas and soul.
In recent years Jodie has risen to become one of the most distinctive voices in Hull’s burgeoning spoken word scene, which includes rapper Chiedu Oraka, Hip-Hop MC Testament and poet Joe Hakim.
Citing George The Poet, Kae Tempest, The Streets and Scroobious Pip as points of inspiration, she’s also collaborated with Scottish-Sudanese artist Eliza Shaddad supplying words for her track I’m Coming Home as well as opening up for Humberside punk band Life.
Be sure to follow her on social media as the girl is certainly going places.
