Slay Squad

Slay Squad is a Southern California-based musical collective known for pioneering a blend of hip-hop, deathcore, and trap they call "ghetto metal".

MOBO-Award nominated grime-metal-crossover artist Native James transcends genre boundaries, melding hip-hop, grime, punk, rock, metal, and garage into a unique sound that is distinct as it is magnetic.

With an impressive blend of raw energy and lyrical power, Native James has carved his own path, captivating audiences at some of the UK’s most iconic festivals and live events such as the BBC Introducing stage at Reading and Leeds Festival, and on-stage as special guest with Skindred.

Native made a huge impact being booked as a solo grime artist but instead turning up to Reading Festival with a full band ready to cause chaos in the alternative scene with his hard-hitting live performance.
