After amassing over 187K streams on SoundCloud, UK gospel drill rapper Konola releases his highly anticipated debut track ‘Militant March‘ on all platforms this Friday (16th Oct). Produced by LSBeats, ‘Militant March’ is dark, raw and uncompromising. It’s the perfect introduction to both Konola as an artist and “gospel drill” as a subgenre.
Konola is without a doubt, one of the hottest prospects in the UK Christian Rap scene. The 20-year-old, born and raised in Tottenham, London, has been influential in pioneering the UK’s burgeoning “gospel drill” scene. But he won’t allow himself to be pigeonholed by the genre. In fact, he even pushes back against the “rapper” label, preferring to describe himself as an “evangelist, not a rapper.”
His debut mixtape “Glory To God” was released in August 2019. That was followed by ‘Christian Walk’ in June 2020 – which featured artists such as Zelijah Tishbite, Likemikes and R-Scar, and amassed over 100,000 streams in its first two months!
Konola is fresh from shooting a freestyle for Joey Clipstar’s Hardest Bars and has received support from Gospel Hydration, Rapzilla and Premier Gospel. Konola is bound to break out in a big way in 2021.
