IDRIS

HEVLAR RECORDINGS proudly introduce you to the unassumingly presented, yet exceptionally executed debut EP - BIG MAN by East London, Hip Hop artist IDRIS aka DJ Driis.But adjust your headsets, because this is not Hip Hop as you necessarily know it! The IDRIS sound is a fresh take on fusing infectious beats with a unique lyrical delivery, spat in a way that will definitely have your head nodding before you are ultimately hooked.BIG MAN is produced by one of the UK's hottest production team's - The Insomniax, who musically shunned the 'instant fizz with a sparkly appearance' type of Hip Hop to create a distinctive, unpretentious, standout sound for Idris.Instantly recognisable as a mature flavoured sound, notable tracks such as ‘Me & Miss’ and ‘Johnny Was’ featuring UK soul artist Shaun Escoffrey serve to introduce us to the lucid storyteller in IDRIS. So whilst tracks like 'The Burn' & 'Rise’ honestly reveal the mindful side to this Londoner, his attitude and lyrical style stir in a fresh and modern twist to this exciting blend of Hip Hop.IDRIS cites the influence of his music and sound as coming from having listened to over 5000 records (which stretches across several musical genres) in his Dj crate alone. "My music is definitely from the root of Hip Hop, but when you listen to my sound you’ll hear every type of music from Reggae all the way through to Rock”.
