Name UL was performing in bars and clubs long before he was legally able to drink in them and established his own label, K.W.O.E – or Kids With Open Ears - when he was just 15.

In 2015, he made his move from the underground hip-hop scene to the mainstream with the release of his powerful youth anthem ‘Only Sixteen’. He’s also opened for international acts such as Pharcyde, Action Bronson, Schoolboy Q, Vince Staples,Jurassic 5 and Earl Sweatshirt.

CHOICE(S) has so far spawned two great singles – ‘Nice Guys Finish Thirst’, which has caused quite a stir online. Note: make sure you watch to the very end!!!
