163 Margs builds on his momentum with ‘More Than Rhyme’

Following an impressive run of singles including '44' featuring Booter Bee and 'YÉ' alongside Clavish, 163 Margs returns with his latest mixtape, 'More Than Rhyme'. Spanning 12 tracks, the release continues an impressive 2026 for the London rapper as he builds on the momentum behind his growing catalogue.

Across the mixtape, Margs explores the different influences that have shaped his sound, revisiting the drill music that informed his early development while branching into new territory. There’s a sense of progression in the way he approaches the material, showcasing his versatility as a lyricist without losing sight of the style that first brought him to attention.

That balance between past and present runs through 'More Than Rhyme'. Nostalgic touches sit alongside fresher ideas, allowing Margs to draw on his foundations while demonstrating how his sound continues to evolve. The result is a release that places his writing and delivery at the centre, with room to experiment beyond familiar territory.

The guest list further reflects the range of influences surrounding the project. UK artists Clavish, Booter Bee, Marnz Malone and Bandokay join the tracklist, while three international collaborations connect Margs with artists from France, Italy and Germany. These cross-border links speak to his expanding reach and the wider musical connections informing his approach.

As 163 Margs continues to build his profile, 'More Than Rhyme' arrives as a statement of intent. Rooted in the sounds that shaped him but open to influences beyond them, the mixtape captures an artist looking to take the next step while staying connected to the experiences and cultures that inform his music.
