Bishop Nehru just released his new project Magic 19, an 11-track mixtape with no features and mostly produced by himself. In September he will be visiting the north with club shows in Oslo, Trondheim, Stockholm and Helsinki.
Markel Scott, more known as Bishop Nehru, is an American rapper and producer from Nanuet, New York. 2013 marked the start of his career as an hiphop artist, with the release of the impressive mixtape Nehruvia, which included collaborations with some of the greatest producers in the hiphop scene, like Madlib and DJ Premier.
Bishop, “The rap wunderkid”, continues to prove that despite his young years, (he’s only 19 years old), he is a voice to count on in the modern hiphop scene – having released the critically acclaimed mixtape NehruvianDoom with rap heavyweight MF DOOM (2014) and gone on tour with the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Earl Sweatshirt and Nas. He has been called the crown prince of the New York hiphop scene and heralded as the next generation of pure hiphop-talent by Kendrick Lamar. Like that wasn’t enough, he has already collaborated with artists like Disclosure, Little Dragon and Flight Facilities. Later this year he will release his debut studio album on Mass Appeal Records, which is to be produced by the great Nas himself. We can’t wait for this!
