Avaword

Based in the heart of Nottingham's thriving music scene, Avaword of Antisocial Services has already made an indelible mark in a relatively short time. Having shared the stage with Slimzee and Flowdan at major venues like Hidden Warehouse in Nottingham and Manchester's Rebellion Club, the MC of the next generation of 0115 has been able to amplify his presence at stage shows already. His debut EP ‘Let's Av It’ released on Window Kid's Wow Camp Records label making an instant splash in the scene and showcased his potential on a massive scale through the Crucast MC’s platform. 2023 saw the launch of the monthly show of Antisocial Services on Lowertone, alongside JJ and Panic Pat, a link up that is swiftly gaining traction. His music has found endorsement from renowned Nottingham artists like Window Kid, Frost, Kyeza, Snowy, Shadow, and Phidizz with collaborations already locked down with the majority, whilst also getting works down already with other well-known artists of the Grime and Dubstep scene including Vandull and Daseplate. Influenced by a broad spectrum of not just Nottingham artists he mentioned being an avid follower of his local scene growing up, Avaword also takes a lot of inspiration from the heavy metal and hardcore genre with his dark and aggressive attitude toward lyricism.
