Idris Miles, a rising star in London, recently released “My Life,” a vibrant, high-energy hip-hop song that is perfect for late-night drives and special occasions. This collaboration, which features Megamikes, AyiTe, Koj, and Miki Rose, combines West Coast smoothness with UK rap energy over the clear, dynamic production of WIZE.
Idris Miles (pronounced “Eye-Dris”), who came from Essex, has made a name for himself in the UK music industry with a sound as diverse as his influences. His music pulsates with raw energy and lyrical depth, fusing rap, R&B, drill, and garage. He has co-signed with BBC Introducing, SBTV, and prominent UK radio stations like Kiss 100 and Capital Xtra. Whether it’s through orchestral drill (“Talktomenice”) or cross-Atlantic collaborations like “My Life,” his summer anthem featuring US talent Miki Rose and producer WIZE, his journey from Glastonbury stages to NYC performances reflects an artist unafraid to evolve.
Storytelling is the foundation of Miles’ art, which combines universal themes with personal grit. His 2024 album ENOCH marked a daring foray into experimental sounds, while songs like “PCR Riddim” and “Cashmere, Suede” demonstrate his ability to alternate between introspection and bravado. The music is the result of ten years of hard work, including open-mic contests, festival highlights like Boomtown and Secret Garden Party, and an unrelenting DIY mentality.
Idris Miles is more than just a rapper; he is a cultural hybrid who is bringing UK urban music into the mainstream with songs like “My Life” that are currently dominating playlists.
