Hip Hop from Prime Sinister

London-based rapper Prime Sinister is a hip hop artist and pioneer of his own rhyming style known as ‘syllablism’, where every single word, line and verse are not just interconnected but, uniquely, they’re symmetrical. The complexity of his writing style is astonishing and testament to his skill as a wordsmith and his talent as a rapper.

Having grown up in the capital during the 2000s, the artist was exposed to music that would define the course of his life. Taking influence from hop hop greats such as Nas and Dizzee Rascal, Prime Sinister also draws inspiration from the hidden gems of the genre that he’s stumbled upon, giving his own sound a rich originality with mainstream appeal.

In 2019 he made his introduction with his debut single “Prime Time” followed up by his sophomore track “Midnight”. The next year he dropped his debut record, the impressive fifteen-track album titled Patient Zero, putting Prime Sinister, and his groundbreaking lyrical writing style firmly on the map.

Now he brings us his latest work with his brand new track “Barium”, the lead single from his upcoming second album, the aptly titled Long Live Syllablism. The self-produced track, mixed and mastered of Thomas Cullison, who’s previous credits include the likes of Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, showcases the artist’s exquisite vocal flow on a beat-driven modern rap cut.

With his intelligent lyricism front and centre, delivered by his razor sharp flow, with “Barium”, Prime Sinister drops a catchy hip hop outing that serves to build more excitement for his forthcoming second record.
