Upcoming Lotto Boyzz Tour
At first glance the ascent of Birmingham’s Lotto Boyzz appears meteoric. In September 2016 the vocal duo Ash (21) and Lucas (22) released Hitlist; a summery fusion of sweet RnB harmonies, hot afrobeats rhythm and bass heavy dancehall swagger, Hitlist effortlessly reflected the current fusion sound of Britain, establishing Lotto Boyzz as hotly tipped new artists in the UKs exploding afrobashment scene. Before Hitlist had a chance to settle, they followed up with two more self-released singles, Bad Gyal and No Don, honing their sound to a slick mix of earworm vocal hooks and irresistible dance floor energy. Drawing on afrobeats, rap, bashment and gospel, they had created a sound that was both familiar, yet unmistakably their own creation, bursting onto the scene with three massive songs in the space of half a year, notching up millions of Youtube views along the way. "we taught ourselves how to make all types of vibes. This lead us to embracing the embryonic afrobashment sound being produced by the UK scene now.l They switched up from being Ash & Lucas, became Lotto Boyzz (Lotto standing for Last Of The Trill Ones), and created a new name for their sound; Afrobean, a word that highlights how they mix afrobeats with their own Caribbean roots- Ash’s family hailing from Montserrat and Lucas’s from Jamaica. @lottoboyzz on all socials
