Just Banco Lad


Just Banco Lad

Having already made a huge statement with recent single 'Ashleigh', its neon-tinged visuals, and a rousing set on the mainstage at this year's Wireless Festival, Manchester rap talent Just Banco returns with a phenomenal video for his latest track 'Lad'. Watch the incredible visual here.

Whereas 'Ashleigh' delved into his unlimited international appeal, 'Lad' drills down into Just Banco's ability to put his own twist on the contemporary sounds currently permeating the UK music scene. Utilising chiming melodies and rumbling 808s, 'Lad' takes on current UK rap sonics as Banco bobs and weaves through a swing-laden instrumental, paying tribute to his hometown of Manchester, namechecking landmarks and flowing with his own signature local accent. Acting as the tour guide for his city, 'Lad' follows Just Banco living a double life through Manchester; creatively splicing shots of him embodying his status as a local hero, with psychedelically coloured insights into his life in the city's underground street culture and the lifestyle choices that come with it.

Released on Dirty Hit/Sony Music Entertainment, 'Lad' and its accompanying visuals are the perfect embodiment to the polymath that is Just Banco. Creating energetic, light-hearted art about the spoils and pitfalls of street life, Just Banco is an artist whose output has its heart rooted firmly in spreading the sound of his home, but its vision fixed on dominating globally.
