I Am Diana De Brito (IAMDDB) is a Mancunian straight out of Gilles Peterson’s record box. The Mancunian rapper and singer brings a jazz-infused swagger to bear on her urban beats. She dropped a new, three-track EP, Kare Package just before Christmas and enlisted Toddla T to produce her new single Famous. It’s no surprise that she calls to mind Jill Scott’s soulful vibes and supported Lauryn Hill on her comeback tours. “Ain’t no pressure with the world – they want diamonds, I want pearls,” she sings on Sit Back. And who are we to argue.
