UK rapper Cristale has put out her first mixtape, Clear Intentions. At 25, the artist from Brixton explains that this is her third try at creating a full-length project and the first one she’s completed. The tape expands on the drill style of her 2022 debut EP by incorporating grime, melodic guitars, hip-hop, and sounds she refers to as similar to R&B. Cristale says the work delves into her relationships with herself, family, friends, her partner, and work, including what she does to maintain those relationships and where they succeed or fail. Cristale also has acting roles in Top Boy, for which she wrote the song Roadents, and Daniel Kaluuya’s Netflix film The Kitchen. She explains that acting helped her become more at ease with herself, although the rigid schedule restricted her creativity. She played football for Crystal Palace’s academy and pursued art and illustration while managing a 40-hour workweek at a boutique in Chelsea. She started posting freestyle raps on Instagram as a pastime and a way to spend time with her father, who encouraged her to record them properly. By the age of 21, she had secured a recording contract. Her song Bong Bing went viral, and she was nominated for best newcomer at the Mobo Awards. https://ekonomininsesi.com/en/young-black-and-female-in-brixton-is-hard-from-football-to-top-boy-and-wordplay-the-inspiring-journey-of-uk-rapper-cristale-33511
