Kasst 8 taps into viral culture with sharp new single Spud Bro

Liverpool’s rising rap force Kasst 8 returns with his latest drop, 'Spud Bro', a track that once again underlines why he’s considered one of the North West’s most exciting prospects. Over the past year, Kasst 8 has steadily elevated his profile, building a reputation for his distinctive tone, clever lyricism and unmistakable Scouse presence.

With co-signs from key figures in the scene, including a collaboration with UK rap heavyweight Giggs, his trajectory has been anything but quiet. Each release has added weight to his growing catalogue, positioning him as a standout voice in a region currently producing serious heat. As Liverpool and the wider North West continue to command attention through artists like EsDeeKid and Mazza L20, Kasst 8 remains a central figure in that movement. His ability to blend sharp observations with charismatic delivery has helped him carve out his own lane within the UK rap landscape.

On 'Spud Bro', he taps into the online virality surrounding Preston’s cult-favourite food vendor, Spud Bros, using the cultural moment as a springboard for witty, self-assured bars. Rather than leaning purely on novelty, Kasst 8 flips the reference into something layered and entertaining, showcasing his knack for weaving current moments into his music without losing authenticity.

With momentum firmly on his side, this drop feels like another confident step forward for an artist who continues to represent the North West with pride, and with the scene’s spotlight growing brighter, Kasst 8 looks more than ready for it.
