Future festival favourites: Rap, poetry, beatbox, folky-Englishness – all stoked up with catchy wordplay, scratches, harmonies and infectious lively rhythms. Proper English roots-rap. Downside? Probably posher than their ‘common-man’ collective implies.

Headed by award-winning rapper and multi-instrumentalist Dizraeli and featuring World Female Beatbox Champion Bellatrix, The Small Gods formed in autumn 2009 to tour Diz’s debut solo album ‘Engurland (City Shanties)’. Within a year the band had been invited to play on prestigious stages around the country, from Glastonbury to London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, and had collaborated with artists as diverse as Chris Wood (2x BBC ‘Folk Singer of the Year’) and Shlomo (beatboxer and World Loop Station Champion).

Dizraeli

In 2012, with a fresh set of songs and a brand new album on the way Dizraeli and The Small Gods continue to rise. They’ve already have a German tour, shows at the Barbican and Southbank Centre, several sellout gigs and two BBC Introducing live sessions under their belts, as well as a host of European appearances, main stage shows at many UK festivals and a set at the notoriously picky WOMAD.

The new single is a taster of what is to come from Dizraeli. With an album ready for release in 2013 together with a full UK tour – the seven piece’s reinvention of hiphop will be hard to ignore.
