Authentic aura, explosive energy and possibly the craziest party in Latvia – British music and style icon Lancey Foux will perform in Riga. Dubbed the pioneer of Britain's new wave of rap, Lancey Foux has played a significant role in redefining the genre – now with an alternative sound.
Rapper and singer, record producer and model Lancey Foux, whose real name is Lance O.Omal, was born on November 30, 1995, in Stratford, London, to a family that had immigrated from Uganda. Lancey Foux began his career in 2015, rapping his own lyrics over beats he found on YouTube. With the help of a friend who had access to a studio, he recorded and released his first two tracks, "Pink" and "TEEN SKUM", that same year. After two years of posting his songs on SoundCloud, where they were noticed and appreciated, Lancey released his third album, First Day at Nursery, in collaboration with English producer Nyge. Being very prolific and releasing album after album, which often contain so many tracks that they cannot even fit on physical media, Lancey Foux joined British rapper Skepta on his European tour, with whom he had collaborated on the song "Dyed 2WICE". In 2019, he performed at the Rolling Loud hip-hop festival in the US.
