Lee Scott (rapper)


Lee Scott is an English rapper, author, producer, and co-founder of record label Blah Records.
He has been making hip hop since 2003, and started Blah in 2006. As well as Blah artists, Scott has worked with veteran rapper Jehst on his label YNR and has released music on High Focus Records.

Early life

Born in 1985 to a single mother, Scott was raised in the Castlefields estate of Runcorn, Cheshire. He moved with his mother to Rochdale and Liverpool before returning to Runcorn to work at the Teva Pharmaceuticals factory.

Style and works

Scott has been a member of many rap groups and crews since 2003. These include Cult Mountain, Children (later Cult) of the Damned, Mcabre Brothers and more. He has been described as 'an integral part of Hip-Hop in Britain' and in early 2020 Red Bull selected Blah Records as one of its 'seven UK-based independent labels worth shouting about'. Media figures have noted Scott's ability to promote his and his label's music through limited edition releases and merchandise.
Musically, reviewers have praised his albums for their 'thick layers of peculiarity' with 'contradictory and self depreciating satire'. Anthony Fantano, of The Needle Drop, called his 2015 High Focus release Butter Fly 'thought provoking, playful, absurd and cynical while pulling jabs at pop culture' and a 'thinking man's hip hop record'.
In 2020, Scott once again collaborated with Jehst, this time under the name GROUP. Their first EP, entitled 1, featured London's Lord Apex. One reviewer called the project "refreshing, profound and emotionally astute".
Scott's debut novel, Swan Songs, was published on 14 December 2021 through Repeater Books.
