T1 (Croftblock)
Genres: Drill / Real Rap / Melodic Rap
Yoooo what’s the word peoples T1 ere reaching out to you to give u a lil bit more about me I’m a 20 yr old rapper originally from derby moved to Nottingham when I was about 5 I grew up in st Ann’s n if I’m honest my personal opinion is it wasn’t that bad every area has people who do the “wrong” stuff but what’s wrong ? And what’s right ? I seen a lot of things and met a lot of people some of them I took inspiration and others, I made sure I wouldn’t do the same and I think that’s what made me as such. Living in a diverse multicultural area helps us see more then 1 aspect in life n in the long run it helps to understand life that little bit more
Music has always been a escape for me not because of past trauma but just the simple fact me and my 2 bothers used to rap n right bars on our blackberrys aha and unfortunately my older brother went to prison getting sentenced 7 n abit years… that right there was hard for me because he did a lot for me and helped me in any situation I needed help in kinda like a dad if u wanna say that as I’ve never knew who my dad is so he took that role for me . Rapping was what he liked to do and so did I but only with him so after him going in when I was to rap or make music it reminded me of him and how it was when he was round the happiness n joy of family ! I think this is why I’m so passionate of music because all I’ve wanted to do is make it not just for me but for my bro and my family
It was kinda mad when I think back because the music I made wasn’t for any sort of publishing or public views it was simply for myself and then I would show my brother when he calls me from jail but the mandem that I used to roll with at the time liked music too and they made music publicly after 1 of the mandem hit 15 million views it changed everyone’s perception including mine it made me realise all u gotta do is do it and never stop . I realised that no matter who u are u got the same chance as everyone else in life it’s just what u do with it , after that a lot of managers mainly contacted the guy who got the 15 mill and because we was all so close we did it all together so everyone met these people and we all shared our stories this is where I came across ILLKID RECORDS.
Dav the CEO and myself got on very well and after trading a few stories we realised we are much alike and from there we kinda just clicked I then joined the record label and from there we worked ! And if I’m honest it was crazy we was getting 1million+ streams on tracks like no hook and risks and couple 100k on the YouTube the fans was rolling on the money was rolling in we was on a good role this year we have done an incredible amount of planning and recording to make sure that when we next come we come with a punch that won’t be forgotten so stay tuned and make sure u stay with me on my journey to the top T1 croftblock ILLKID RECORDS.

Whycliffe
Genres: RnB / Soul / Lovers Rock / Pop
Danovan Whycliffe Bromwell, known as Whycliffe was signed to MCA records in the late 1980’s early 1990’s, where collectively 2 albums were released and 3 singles charted, namely “Lovespeakup” (1990) at No. 97, “Heaven” (1993) at No. 56, and “One More Time” (1994) at No. 72.
In 2023, after seeing a video of Whycliffe singing online, a local record label offered to help him turn his life around; Whycliffe snatched the opportunity to try, and has began to succeed in taking positive steps back to a normal life. He has been able to cope better with his mental health, and is embracing the light at the end of the tunnel by attending regular counselling sessions, and improving his lifestyle by taking active steps to prevent drug usage together with improving his wellbeing and appearance by looking fresher, healthier and increasing the upkeep of his hygiene.
No doubt, there is still some distance left as part of his journey, but given time, he will be able to one day become independent and be able to live a normal life and enjoy singing and creating music how he used to do.
Since being involved with the record label, Whycliffe has gained the confidence to sing freely and experiment with vocals, but due to living in poor conditions over the last decades, his body has taken a toll on the effects of his mental health and some medical treatment is required before he can fully blossom which the label is helping him with.
