Release Notes:
When an artist lists both the Wu-Tang Clan and Samuel Beckett as its influences,
it is often the stuff of hipster fluff, but U.K. poet and rapper Kate Tempest
backs those name-drops up with a Big Dada recording contract and a Ted Hughes
Award for innovation in poetry. Born in Brockley, South London, Tempest launched
her career at 16, performing at open-mike nights at the local record shop. In
2010, she formed the hip-hop group Sound of Rum while launching a career in solo
performance poetry. Between the two gigs, she found herself opening shows for
artists as diverse as post-punk poet John Cooper Clarke and rapper Scroobius
Pip. Sound of Rum released their album Balance in 2011, while Tempest's first
book of poetry, Everything Speaks in Its Own Way, was released by Zingaro Books
in 2012. In 2013, she performed her work Brand New Ancients with orchestral
backing at London's Battersea Arts Centre, which won the Ted Hughes Award for
innovation in poetry that same year.
Tempest made her solo album debut in 2014 with Everybody Down, released by the
Ninja Tune-affiliated label Big Dada. The young talent returned in 2016 with her
second book and first novel, The Bricks That Built the Houses, a tale focused on
class, race, and sexuality. The book was a success and went on to win the Sunday
Times Award for Best Selling Novel. 2016 wasn't short of material from the young
poet, seeing the release of her second record, Let Them Eat Chaos later that
year.
