The self-proclaimed West Mids Wordsmith is highly regarded as one to watch in Birmingham’s blossoming rap scene; with a distinctive pen game set against beats influenced by the icy conditions of city living, Hunter Bavaro takes a unique approach to his craft.
With a talent inspired by his poetic flair, Bavaro discovered his love for words writing poetry as a young buck in school, long before rap entered his peripheral vision. Nowadays, he takes inspiration from the genres greats; Kano, Little Simz and Kendrick Lamar have all played their part in his creative journey, resulting in lyrical content and a vocal delivery of real depth and character.
In recent times, he’s seen two projects, All Things Considered & A Meal In Winter championed by the likes of BBC Introducing, No Signal, UK Underground Rap and Bonded, cementing his place in the local scene as he builds towards his first headline show.
On Friday 24th May Bavaro follows up January’s EP ‘A Meal In Winter’ with Half Full, an optimistic reminder to not take life’s tribulations too seriously.
Bavaro dissects the track:
‘To feel ‘half full’ is to not feel 100%. Something is at a miss, your mood might be low or sometimes life just gets too much. In these moments of self doubt and discouragement, I offer a ballad to help appreciate the fact that we’re still here and the jobs not done so press on.’
