Mary Sue and the Clementi Sound Appreciation Club, 8 Oct
Mary Sue and the Clementi Sound Appreciation Club brought soulful and introspective jazz-hop tunes, featuring a slew of guest artists: Bgourd, Zakir from 730 bedside, Zaymm and ABANGSAPAU.
A rapper and producer hailing from Singapore, Mary Sue started making and releasing music during the pandemic. Sue's glitchy, sample-heavy sound paired with introspective lyrics has helped him develop a growing presence in the underground abstract hip hop scenes in the US, UK and Australia, as well as releasing music with London based hip-hop collective Higher Self. Sue released his debut album KISSES OF LIFE in February 2022, which was critically praised and featured on multiple online music publications such as Best Hip Hop on Bandcamp, NME, and HipHop-DX.
