Reading’s finest, Songer, returns to the UK rap scene with, 'BONES', a track that’s reminiscent of his earlier years.
Following a prodigious 2025, and stripping it back to what he knows best with his latest single, ‘BONES’ is anchored in the nostalgia of Hip-Hop’s Golden Age, the 25-year-old has polished off his pen for an unforgettable spin down memory lane.
Welcomed with a jazz-infused Hip-Hop production, ‘BONES’ houses an old-school feel that Songer’s punching delivery compliments seamlessly. Paying homage to his earlier years growing up and listening to Hip-Hop, ‘BONES’ is a nod to some of the greatest names around. Glossing the beat with his razor-sharp penmanship, Songer delivers a track that’s infused with reflective bars and head-turning punchlines, further emphasising his lyrical ability.

On his new single, Songer commented, “Bones to me is an ultra nostalgic feeling Hip-Hop song, reminiscent of why I started writing in the first place. A blend of introspection and braggadocio, over an instrumental that just feels like home.”
Housing over 100+ million streams in the past year alone, the Reading-born artist has continued to build a fanbase through authenticity, adaptability, and razor-sharp lyricism. Arguably one of his best-known songs to date, ‘Toxic’ became the UK’s second best-selling rap record of the year, spending eight weeks in the Official Top 40. Closely behind sits huge collaboration hit with Birmingham producer K-Motionz, ‘Vino Bandit’, which has now surpassed 95 million streams globally, both of which are on track to become Gold certified this year.
At just 25-years-old, Songer has earned 1x Gold certification in Australia, 3x Silver and 1x Gold records in the UK, and two BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record in the World premieres with Jack Saunders.
Having kickstarted last year with a huge collaboration with household name Aitch, shortly followed by a sold-out Australia and New Zealand tour supporting Dizzee Rascal, he’s also played Europe’s biggest festivals, including a headline spot at Leeds Festival with over 40,000 fans in attendance. Alongside these achievmenets were a major debut at Splash! in Germany and Truck Festival in the UK, as well as selling out a UK tour from start to finish with a headline show in London’s Kentish Town Forum, cementing his status as one of the country’s most vital new live acts.
