Hyperpop from Trannieboi

Somerset-born, now London-based disabled black trans artist Trannieboi first made their name with debut hit “Sertraline Gang”. Offering clever and facetious lyrical jabs with a conscious and political perspective, the artist has cemented their reputation as a groundbreaker and redefining the boundaries for trans people in the UK hip hop scene.

Now the innovative queer creative delivers the much anticipated follow up to last summer’s mini EP Halfcast Quasimodo with the new single “Wots Ur Numbah”. A rhythmic and grimey blur made with long-time producer collaborator Shurk, the track offers an energetic drum and bass sound meant to be felt as much as it is heard, perfect for the nights growing longer for dancing.

The leading single of a new upcoming EP, the track lays down a new step in the evolution of the artist’s brash hyperpop. Drawing from the grime and dubstep styles that flow from England’s southwest, the single is the first in a series of affectionate disruptions in contemporary gay British pop music.

Linking with Gabe Swarbrick, who delivers a verse on “Wotz Ur Numbah”, the pair who both grew up together in the Rural southwest honour that music history. Hoping to collapse categories between musical traditions and queer experiences into beautiful sonic entanglements, Trannieboi’s latest effort is a single that heralds in a new age for queer dance music in the U.K.
