East London’s Hak Baker is the artist redefining what it means to be a folk singer in the capital. His sound, which he calls “G-Folk”, is a blend of grime and folk combining gritty lyrics and acoustic guitar playing. It’s a combination inspired by his past grime career and emotional outtake on life. In Conundrum he sings about “growing up in East London” where it was “forty pence for a bus/ Still the lads jump in the back with no fuss.” It’s these tales about the minutiae of London life that mean listeners find it easy to connect with Hak, and, with this he’s set to bring G-Folk to the UK in a big way.
