Muse Chronicle

Rising up from London’s underground hip-hop scene yet deeply rooted in the raw honesty of UK rap style, Lewi SWiPER is an artist bound to achieve stardom. Channelling the spirit of Juice WRLD -the G.O.A.T of melodic emo rap of this era, and the confidence of Bryson Tiller, Lewi crafts emo-rap designed to make the listener introspect late into the night, yet is still perfect for those who are constantly on the move. His voice carries that unmistakable London vibe, completely calm yet brimming with intent.

Lewi SWiPER’s latest album, COLDWIRE, is a cinematic deep dive into the quiet ache of realisation and the regret that follows, along with emotional detachment and, finally, personal growth. Across its tracklist, he blends airy trap drums with smooth, reverb-heavy vocals that echo through the city’s dark corners. The album, though consisting of 3 songs, does an extremely great job at making a nostalgic but futuristic, fusing the melancholy of 6LACK into the tracks. It’s music for the cold and lonely nights with nothing but the reflections of the glowing screen of sources of light, the nights where heartbreak turns into self-awareness. Lewi’s lyrics strike at the heartstrings of any person who failed at love, navigating the space between love and avoidance, yet radiating confidence despite the circumstances. The tracks are extremely addictive, filled with duality, vulnerable yet distant, soft yet sharp, and perfectly capture the core aesthetic of modern melodic rap. This duality is the source of COLDWIRE’s pull. This album ight as well be heartbreak therapy for someone who wants to learn how to overcome the wall that seems impossible to climb- the act of learning how to care again.

“It’s music for the cold and lonely nights with nothing but the reflections of the glowing screen of sources of light, the nights where heartbreak turns into self-awareness.”

If COLDWIRE is a look into his present state of music, then this is but a mere speck of dust for his next chapter, and his next chapter will be global. His music is already riding the international wave, but with improved and sharper storytelling, his musical instincts combined with experimental textures, Lewi can generate an atmosphere which could take him from an underdog favourite to a prominent voice in the UK’s next generation of artists. He is not just a member of the new melodic movement, but the one who leads it.
