Bishop is an inspired young artist who uses the aesthetic of hip hop to explore culture in radical and invigorating new ways.

Incontinent to sit back and allow his community to be negatively impacted by self engendered, systemic or structural violence, the “Freedom” EP explores diverse themes related to the modern narrative affecting so many young people.
