Hoxton born rapper/actor Francis Pope has been making music from an early age; from school-yard rap battles, to present day co-writing, executive-producing, starring in and providing the theme track to new Brit flick 'Turnout'.

 Inspired by a wide range range of music from the late 90s golden era of hip hop right through to the soulful house sounds of Detroit, Francis Pope has recorded the yet-to-be-released Mr Small Stuff. It's a refreshing autobiographical journal about the honest insecurities rarely touched upon in the braggadocio world of hip hop. An EP, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff is to be released soon, alongside new single 'Trends' which takes a witty swipe at the Hoxton trend. 

Francis works closely with Turkish from the Dcypha camp (Sway), who produced the track. It seemed a natural fit for Francis to write and record the video for 'Turnout' to accompany the film of the same name, also starring fellow musician Ben Drew aka Plan B.
