Hail­ing from Shef­field, Otis Mensah com­bines vivid storytelling with atmo­spher­ic and exper­i­ment­al Hip-Hop sounds. Titled Sheffield’s first poet laur­eate in 2018, Otis has worked and toured with heavy­weights such as Ben­jamin Zephaniah, KOTA the Friend, Open Mike Eagle, Mahalia and Blu & Exile. Otis has also received sup­port from The Guard­i­an, Earmilk, I Am Hip Hop Magazine, BBC: Intro­du­cing; CALM; World­wide FM and The Noise Gate.

Trog­lo­dyte Jazz is part of the second sea­son of #Otis­Mensa­hEx­ists, a cre­at­ive series blend­ing togeth­er sur­real­ist anim­a­tion and intro­spect­ive music. Thought­ful and ooz­ing with a smooth charm, Trog­lo­dyte Jazz com­bines lux­uri­ous jazz horns and del­ic­ate piano chords over Otis’ inward-look­ing lyricism.

Trog­lo­dyte Jazz is released on all plat­forms on Thursday 25 February.
