New on the UK scene is Marginal Records artist RV - a distinctive and edgy new talent who’s dropping the freshest of cuts for his first commercial release entitled Huh!. The track is a slice of good time, party scene and a taste of what’s to come from this new artist who’s already picked up radio support with his other promo tracks on Choice FM’s Jenny Francis show. Accompanying the release is a video featuring various animations created by production house Platinum Empire Ent. as well as his recently released mixtape Marginal World Takeover, available on CD and download. Born in Angola and from Nigerian descent, RV spent his childhood living between Angola, Portugal, Holland, the United States and South Africa.. Early memories include singing in the local choir and listening to Al Green and Michael Jackson records before moving on to more contemporary artists like TuPac, KRS One and Mos Def. This led onto RV working with local six piece rap act AP and doing gigs and battles around Luanda. On arriving in the UK RV formed gospel group LMC who went on to tour with many other UK gospel acts including Raymond & Co and Four Kornerz. This was followed by a period of travelling throughout France, Holland and Portugal before making the transition to solo artist and signing to Marginal Records. Since signing, RV has worked with various producers on tracks for his upcoming album. Initial sessions were with UK based artist/producer Whodini (who produced current single Huh!), South London producers Krunchie, and Spoons, South London artist Ill Mill, Portugal’s KapOne, Nigerian producer DJ Krixx and vocalists; EmCee, Cynthia Mare, Leandra Varanda and Eastern European pop/soul artist Paskalina. On a slightly different tip he also worked with Derby based rock act NG26 along with producer Spoons. He’s currently in the studio with various artists including Jadakiss, Ben Montague, May7ven, Ill Mill and Shaq from grime act SMS as well as Nigerian actor Jim Iyke and fellow Marginal Records act Khy. Building on his experiences of the many countries he’s lived in and their cultures, RV is feeling inspired and positive about his upcoming album material and mixtape as well as looking forward to performing for the UK audiences and beyond - Watch this space!
