A million listeners got there before me, but I've spent most of today catching up on this holy-shit-level Welsh singer/rapper/guitarist Ren Gill. He's worth listening to, but even more worth watching, because he and videographer Samuel Perry-Falvey turn his songs into brutally stark storytelling dioramas that are poetic/cinematic performances in themselves. Here's the three-part "Money Game" series to get you started while I go track down the others.

Welsh rapper in a locked in jail setting with seated guitarist whose whole head is covered, is as far as I have gotten in video one so far ….But will watch em all.

The videos are good but I can’t imagine wanting to actually listen to these songs

On one hand this is exactly the kind of whi' Bri'ish social messaging rap stuff I'm highly allergic to (I live in a city where this was a big thing for several years; calming down a bit now thank god) - but no, I can't deny this guy is wayyyyyy better than most
