REUBEN AZIZ ENDS HIS STANDOUT YEAR WITH THE RELEASE OF 'ALWAYS COME BACK'

Dec 16, 2024

Reuben Aziz, one of London’s brightest emerging voices, drops his new single, 'Always Come Back,' ahead of the deluxe edition of his mixtape 'how did we end up here.' Known for his DIY production style and introspective lyricism, the 21-year-old artist continues to explore new dimensions of his sound with this rap-focused release.

'Always Come Back' strips back the layers of Reuben’s personal life, blending sharp bars and melodic hooks over a self-produced instrumental. The track offers a glimpse into his creative range, drawing inspiration from rap legends like 50 Cent and 2Pac while adding his own signature touch.

“This track is one of the few Rap songs in my discography,” Reuben explains. “I wanted people to know what I’m capable of. All the music I grew up on had intertwined melodies. It was important to have a hook singing and rap my arse off as usual.”

Born in Southampton and now based in London, Reuben Aziz has been crafting his sound since he was 10 years old. A self-taught guitarist and producer, he first gained recognition for his freestyle raps on TikTok, which have since gone viral across platforms like Balamii Radio and On The Radar. His September mixtape 'how did we end up here' showcased a variety of styles, earning praise from fans and industry heavyweights like Stormzy and Clint419.

With a natural ability to balance raw rap energy and emotional depth, his tracks resonate with listeners on a deeply relatable level. Following his successful debut headline show, 'Always Come Back' signals the start of another wave of activity for Reuben Aziz. He’s cementing his place as a key voice in the UK music scene with momentum building and a clear artistic vision.
