About 98s
Artist Biography
Bringing together talents from London's Homerton and Holly Street collectives, drill supergroup 98s made their mark in 2020 with debut mixtape Class of 98s.
Named after the E8 and E9 postcodes repped by the group's members, the 98s emerged in 2020 as a combination of the Homerton (V9, Unknown T, KO, Jimmy, Alchubbino, Mazza, Smokes) and Holly Street (Billy Billions, Hitman, DA, Stally) drill collectives. After teasing the project with the July single "Homerton2Holly," the group continued to draw attention over the year with energetic singles like "Taco," "Pay Attention," and "98 Degrees." Their debut mixtape, Class of 98s, arrived in September 2020. Providing inventive new takes on drill production, the project showcased the mic skills of the group's extensive roster. ~ David Crone
