Aitch is back with a new single, it is very long-awaited as it has been a while since we got any solo material from him. ‘Raw’ which was released on the 21^st may is the follow up to the AJ Tracey collaboration ‘Rain’ and with Aitch’s track record, ‘Raw’ is set to be another hit.

Aitch, real name Harrison Armstrong, is Mancunian through and through and he often references his home city in his music. His instantly recognisable accent is a strength of his in terms of his music as it distinguishes him from a lot of other artists on the UK scene who are usually from London. Aitch is known for his clever lyricism and ability to freestyle which is the reason he initially rose to fame when he posted a video on YouTube which went viral 2 years ago. ‘Straight Rhymez 1’ now has 19 million views and shows him at just 17-years-old delivering a rap written by himself. Aitch has previously said that he takes a lot of inspiration from fellow Mancunian rapper Bugzy Malone who put ‘Manny on the map’ back in 2015. 

Aitch has gone on to make music with huge artists like Tion Wayne and Russ in ‘Keisha Becky’ which got 34 million views. Followed by a track with AJ Tracey with ‘Rain’ which got 17 million views. Since his first big hit last year with ‘Taste’, which peaked at number 2 in the UK singles chart, he has supported artists such as Wiley and Cadet on tour; which would be a triumph for anybody, never mind a 20-year-old.
