Realz aka RLZ has been one of the leading lights in grime for many years now, and first gained notoriety as part of the grime collective Mucky Wolfpack back in 2007. RLZ has been releasing monster track after monster track ever since and can often be heard tearing down radio sets all over the airwaves. Junior Akerele, a.k.a. RLZ, was born on the 22nd October 1990 in East London. RLZ took inspiration from hip hop greats like Tupac and Jay Z while growing up, and began writing lyrics at the tender age of 14.
