Dot Rotten

The fast-rising, slickly dressed and steady-rhyming MC from Stockwell, 25-year-old Joseph Ellis, delivers catchy, soulful tracks backed by retro organ lines, minimal beats or filthy synths Tinie Tempah-style. He was hailed as 'the new Wiley' when he broke out in 2012, but his street cred may have taken a dent when he founded a creative collective with Ed Sheeran (of all people). Props on the 'Eastenders'-inspired stage name, though.
