Blanco unveils powerful new E.P 'Paradise On A Lifeboat'

Fresh off the back of a sold-out UK and European tour and the momentum of his recent single 'Regime', Blanco returns with a gripping new body of work, 'Paradise On A Lifeboat'. The six-track EP sees the Kennington lyricist continue to solidify his status as one of UK rap’s most revered and forward-thinking voices.

Drawing loose inspiration from a narrative arc in the anime 'Naruto', the project navigates themes of survival, conflict and emotional resilience. It’s a conceptual step forward for Blanco - one that pushes deeper into introspection without sacrificing the sharp precision and cool-headed delivery he’s become known for.

His Angolan heritage is woven into the fabric of the record, most notably through the Kuduro-influenced production on 'Regime'. The EP also features a standout collaboration with rising London talent Kidwild on 'One More Day', adding another dynamic layer to the project’s sonic palette.

Across 'Paradise On A Lifeboat', Blanco dissects social tensions, global unrest and personal reckoning with a perspective that feels both grounded and worldly. With this project, Blanco once again breaks the mould - balancing sharp storytelling with global influences and a renewed sense of purpose.
