UK rap is having a moment as the headliners and the new wave gear up to drop classics. So far, fans have enjoyed Ghetts, Potter Payper, and Skrapz in this first quarter, raising the bar for all newcomers. South London rapper Proph is one of the respected faces of fresh rap talent and solidifies this with his newest single.
Exuding mobster energy and unfiltered honesty, ‘Milano‘ sees him flex formidable wordplay. “Red carpets on bleed when PR roll through / Still it’s no promotion”.
From likening himself to the Ronaldo of UK rap and being too far gone for Instagram, this single packs a playful punch. He also claims this is one of his favourite songs he’s ever made, and it’s clear to see why. The hard knocking beat is accompanied by a catchy hook, as we hear him float over the beat with effortless adlibs.

The Londoner linked with Grammy Award-winning producer J.Lbs for this song – showcasing how the industry is recognising his star quality. Furthermore, Proph joins the likes of Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, and Kali Uchis as a collaborator with this respected musician.
Repping Thornton Heath, he has been enjoying the success of his 2023 debut album, ‘Lost In Translation‘. Further to this, he performed at Reading Festival 2023 on the BBC Radio 1Xtra stage along with rising rap titans Clavish and Malaki. He is expanding beyond his London roots, linking with Birmingham boy MIST as the opener for his UK tour last year.
Proph has impressed with recent freestyles showcasing his introspective side. ‘The Guilt Trip Freestyle‘ sees the wordsmith speak on real issues. Moreover, these tracks have gained him some big-name fans, including Wretch 32 and Stormzy.
‘Milano‘ is a great introductory track to get into this rapper’s catalogue. In conclusion, it’s catchy, courageous, and sees a self-taught MC on the cusp of big-time success.
