About Rak-Su

Hip-pop outfit Rak-Su live up to their name in every respect. Playing off the phrase “Tracks vs. Suits,” the British quartet of childhood buddies have successfully balanced business and play since winning the UK’s The X Factor in 2017. Their greatest strength comes in the seamless, electrifying blend of their many talents: Ashley Fongho is a rapper/poet/songwriter, Jamaal Shurland is a singer/songwriter, Myles Stephenson is a rapper/producer, and Mustafa Rahimtulla is a DJ/beatboxer/dancer. Even before their competition show win, Rak-Su had been meticulously refining their racy rhymes and Latin-inspired rhythms, coming into the show with a strong collection of self-penned songs, including the single, “Dimelo.” Recorded with Wyclef Jean and Naughty Boy, the reggaetón-powered ode to pop goddesses like Shakira and Camila Cabello is a banging dance-floor filler. It’s also the perfect intro to their sweet, saucy style, in which they infuse the silky-smooth come-ons of ‘90s R&B with all the fun, frisky bounce of fresh Latin pop and hip-hop.
