The 22-year-old rapper with a degree from the University of Oxford is at the forefront of a wave of U.K. artists leapfrogging the domestic rap scene and taking their swagger global.

People asked him how he balanced studying French and philosophy with music, but \u201cthe truth is I didn\u2019t,\u201d he laughs, admitting that he ignored a lot of what he was being taught.

after a British slang term used to get someone\u2019s attention, takes the jerk sound and pushes it, no longer feeling like an artist imitating a previous decade but one owning the current moment.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            I tell YT that what makes his music so refreshing is what also makes him a confounding presence. He\u2019s a U.K. rapper in the truest sense, filling his bars with cheeky colloquial references, yet he rejects the grime and drill scenes that have dominated the last two decades of British rap. Instead, he looks to the internet underground for influence and works exclusively with the friends he has made online. \u201cI\u2019m Black and I\u2019m British to the core,\u201d he states. \u201cBut I\u2019m also undeniably influenced by American sounds and I love whatever chemical reaction occurs when you mix those two things.\u201d Waiting for an invitation to be part of the in-crowd is overrated. YT has found a more effective way forward. Build your own world and wait for everyone else to catch up.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n #content_block-270546 {\n   background: ;\n   padding-bottom: 40px;\n }<\/p>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-270546\" class=\"content_block paragraph image triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/YT_-_photo-_Nelta_Kasparian_nelta.fr-8_v3e2rf\/yt-arcteryx-oi-jim-legxacy-uk-rap-interview.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 640px\" alt=\"YT owns U.K. rap\u2019s new swag\"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
