Wesley Bishop AKA ‘A2’ is a songwriter and producer hailing from Croydon, South London. He is apart of the new “7” coined by many artist such as Krept & Konan, Stormzy, Bonkaz and Section Boyz. Like many rappers in the UK, A2 started rapping on grime before being influenced to start rapping on more R&B sounds alongside creating production with oldskool R&B samples. Some say this is new genre defined sonically as “Trap Soul”.
Since 2012 A2 has dropped eight E.P’s “Hennessy Thoughts”, “Faded Photographs”, “VII”, VII 2, “Once Too Many” and the critically acclaimed “More Sleep”. Late in 2016 he released More Sleep 2, followed 6 months later by a collection of songs entitled R.E.D as a wait over for the fans anticipation of A2’s first LP Blue which released late in 2017 which was met with acclaim from fans.
