Stu Brootal, the prodigal son returning to the UK motherland from his teenage years in Texas, already has a strong catalogue of self-released albums under his belt; honestly chronicling the highs and lows of his journey so far, through exquisitely executed hip-hop flows and self-produced beats. After teaming up with Kieron Pepper (ex-Prodigy drummer, Wargasm co-producer) for the BaseFace release ‘Lotus’, the door opened up to some stellar collaborations with Future Funk Squad, championed by The Crystal Method, and various compositions within the gaming world. Stu is currently in the laboratory cooking up a new album, as well as running his own tattoo temple.
