Slowthai is a British rapper hailing from Northampton, England. He is well-known for his gritty instrumentals and politically charged lyrics, particularly regarding Brexit and Theresa May's time as Prime Minister of the UK. Slowthai's stage name originated from his childhood nickname; due to a speech impediment, he spoke slowly and with a drawl. Originally known as Slow Ty, he changed it to Slowthai when he released his first single in 2016.
In 2019, Slowthai's album was shortlisted for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.

UGLY is slowthai pulling himself apart and exposing his anxieties of the last couple of years, an acronym for U Gotta Love Yourself. Musically, this new album may show a side of him that people haven’t heard before but he sees it as the fullest picture yet - and attentive listeners will have noticed this musical tendency before. UGLY is about reconnecting with first principles. Plunging into rock music with as much singing as rapping, it is both a striking departure for slowthai and a return to the roots of Tyron Frampton. Recorded in producer Dan Carey’s home studio alongside frequent collaborator Kwes Darko, UGLY is a fluid combination of musicians including Ethan P. Flynn, Jockstrap’s Taylor Skye, Beabadoobee guitarist Jacob Bugden, drummer Liam Toon, and on the dark and woozy title track, his friends Fontaines D.C.
