Low Notes Presents… returns with an alternative hip-hop for a night of carefully curated artists: Pertrelli Purple, Wilfred, Melika & KRS. As we celebrate the diversity, creativity and community driving a new wave of independent hip-hop culture and energy across the North.

Leeds rapper Pertrelli Purple, recently off the back of his new album ‘light on my feet’ in collaboration with London producer Morriachi. “A thoughtful, delicate wordsmith and the mind and pen behind an album that refuses to reveal itself all at once.” via Stretto Blaster, 2026.

Mellow Grime pioneer Wilfred, producer and DJ who developed his career in Leeds, is joining us with a liveset & visuals. He combines samples from 70/80s soul, 80s funk & 00s RnB with the classic rhythms and sounds of 140bpm UK Grime to carve his own unique sound in the UK Hip-hop space.

Persian Manchester-based artist Melika will be bringing her neo-soul and jazz fusion influences through poetic lyricism and powerful melodies. Self-produced, killer vocalist, KRS is opening the night and isn’t one to miss. We’ve seen him perform in bands all across the city recently, such as Shadow and the Sol, and have been blown away by his voice everytime, his latest single ‘IN DA CLURB!’ slaps and we can’t wait to have him!

This is the second edition of the live hip-hop series Low Notes Presents…after hosting Tony Bontana, SENGI & many others at Hyde Park Book Club this summer. This time at Belgrave Music Hall, bringing together Manchester and Leeds MCs.
