Shaping a freestyle rap into single “Frontline” may have only taken Salieu 20 minutes, but the January 2020 release provided the Slough-born, Gambia and Coventry-raised artist his breakthrough—and set the tone for his energetic brand of modern anthem. Salieu runs the lines of rap, dancehall and grime to a percussive blur that won him instant street—and broadsheet—acclaim. Deftly titled mixtape Send Them To Coventry laid out his hard-hitting manifesto in full and made clear its author is an artist determined to speak up for the underprivileged and overlooked with authority and flair.
