OG Grime veteran Scorcher links up with Liverpool’s newest voice of the streets, Kasst 8, for his latest greazy track, ‘Roads’.
Produced by Rxwntree, the track brings the essentials of a raw old skool Grime riddim laced with a punchy bass and synths.
From Edmonton to Toxeth, bringing an unmatched energy, Scorcher delivers an energetic, catchy hook, flowing straight into punchy, unfiltered and raw bars talking about the roads he was raised on. Whilst Kasst8 brings his best bars showcasing his more laid back flow in a UK rap style both playing to each other’s strengths but with different vibes.

Tayo ‘Scorcher’ Jarrett has found a new focus, and is ready to harness his talent for making music. Whilst the homegrown sound has evolved in the UK in recent years, one thing has remained the same that Scorcher is considered one of the pioneers of grime who maintains a foothold in music. The MOBO award-winning Tottenham resident has made his mark as an independent artist: achieving millions of streams, performing at the iconic music festivals Glastonbury and Wireless, as well as touring with Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. His international presence has been felt for over a decade and he still continues to build his audience and impact.
Scorcher’s influence as an artist is solidified and it’s why fellow UK juggernauts such as Ed Sheeran, Tion Wayne, JME and D Double E have collaborated with him. In the past year, he’s had a string of music releases and features alongside grime legends Lethal Bizzle, Wiley and Chip. Robbie Williams recently invited Scorcher, Lethal Bizzle and Wiley to perform as special guests at his show in the Emirates Stadium last summer; a crossover moment which further cemented Scorcher’s influence and reach.
The 39-year-old has gone from strength to strength in his career as one of Grime’s pioneers and sticking through its resurgence, acting roles in series Top Boy and files such as ‘The Intent’ and ‘Offender’, winning Best Grime Act at the MOBO Awards in 2025 and this year being nominated again. He will be onstage for a special performance celebrating 30 years of MOBO’s with D Double E, NoLay, Wiley and Chip.
