London-based emcee Ultra_Eko recently released his new nineteen-track album REVELATION, produced & engineered by Subsequel

Ultra_eko is an independent Hip Hop artist from South London, UK. His turbulent life story has shaped him into a masterful storyteller and street poet with a sharp tongue and steady flow. From bootlegging beer in France, smuggling cigarettes through Europe, working as a professional gambler, and running a market stall, his life on the edges has pushed him between addictions and spiritual awakenings. This has all culminated in making music and writing as a means of escape and inner transformation and understanding. Having studied both creative writing and psychology, his rich narratives reflect the struggle of ordinary men and those opportunities to grow and change.

He has been drawing the attention of fans around the world in recent years, not least for the unparalleled storytelling and musical invention shown in his music. He has only been releasing music since 2019, but in that time has proved incredibly prolific, releasing one EP and three full-length albums.

“The production on Eko’s work has always helped set him apart, as well as that immediately recognisable voice, and the sheer intelligence and sharpness of his lyricism” – VENTS Magazine.

“His work is both musically inventive and lyrically accomplished, and he is an original in the truest sense” – HipHopSince1987.

His latest work, the album ‘Revelation’, released June 25th, is his best yet. A Hip Hop masterpiece, a sprawling, nineteen-track epic that centers itself on themes such as religion, war, consumerism, free will, and advertising, to name just a few. Completed in just eight weeks, and with his trusted producer, Subsequel at the helm, to oversee and engineer each mix, ‘Revelation’ emerges as a true lockdown release, one that confronts dark themes with sharp wit, heavy flow, and some of the most captivating narratives ever put to music.

Described by DOPECAUSEWESAID as a

“Hip Hop classic in the making…he moves the genre into something far more unique”.

Broken 8 Records said,

“Like Virgil leading Dante through the nine circles of Hell, Ultra_eko guides you through ‘Revelation’ with an unflinching confidence and sense of a higher purpose”.

The album features the singles, ‘Phoenix Rising’, ‘Be Like Me‘, and ‘Brain Ain’t Your Own’, featuring DaRealMrLee.
