At just 19 years old, LeoStayTrill continues to prove why he’s one of the most exciting names in the UK rap scene. His latest release, “Finders Keepers” freestyle, sees the South London artist strip things back and focus on what he does best — sharp lyricism, slick flows and the effortless delivery that’s helped him stand out from the new wave.
The freestyle follows “Active,” his first release of the year, and arrives after his EP Last Quarter, a more vulnerable and well-rounded project that saw Leo further develop his signature Afro-Drill sound. Blending drill’s fast-paced cadence with melodic Afro-swing influences, Leo has created a signature style.
Born in London to Zimbabwean parents, Leo has been building toward this moment for years. After teaching himself production and working closely with longtime collaborator Xeretto, he quickly developed a sound that connected with audiences far beyond the UK. Tracks like “Hands on Knees” featuring K-Trap helped launch him to a wider audience, generating millions of views and viral traction online.
“Finders Keepers” is another confident step forward — a reminder that LeoStayTrill is carving out his own lane at the forefront of the next generation.
