Delusionists

About Me


Delusionists were raised in Lowestoft, Suffolk. It’s not exactly the Bronx. They’ve since relocated to London, probably in a bid to make themselves more “urban”. Their upbringing was, for want of a better word, uneventful. You might even call it pleasant. And get this; according to our research, they have never pimped a ho, sold crack or even SEEN a gun.
And yet, despite all of this, they feel it’s their God-given right to make Hip Hop music!
Sure, they’ll argue that it’s been their one true love since hearing The Show back in the mid-80’s. They might even claim that they have been writing rhymes in one form or another for nearly two decades. They’ll swear blind that they will do their best to make fresh, honest, original music, and always stay true to the essence of Hip Hop.
Yeah, they’d probably say all that and more, but personally, I’m not having any of it.
