We hit the streets of Stratford Westfield here's how it went.

Real strangers. Zero script. Just songs and a Gopro camera. Some of these reactions genuinely surprised us.

This is what our street team does,. and it's available for artists who want their music tested in front of real people, not just algorithms.

Want this for your next release? DM us.

We took Skirmish's "Too Many Rumours" to the streets. Real strangers. Real reactions. No script.

DJ Dizzy D just linked up with First Spotted. 🎧
We took him on the road with us in Stratford, doing what we do best, finding the ones nobody's checking for yet. His take? Straight from the DJ booth, no filter.
Watch this space. We've got a few things planned, and Dizzy D's along for the ride.
Artists, this is your sign. Send us your music.

FIRST SPOTTED SPOTLIGHT: RUBIIX (@rubiix_) 🎤
Female rapper, singer, producer and composer, all one independent artist. This isn't one hit, it's a whole catalogue of them, moving between languages and genres without missing a step. "Ghost" is her latest, built without a label, just the work.
This is what real range sounds like.

20,050 streams on one song. Right now, only 50 people are actively listening.

Redz Man — UK, DRC roots, real touring history. Not one lucky song, a pattern across five tracks that all did real numbers. The catalogue's already proven itself.

The Breakout Case: @redzman94 👑

She performed in front of Simon Cowell on the X Factor. Now she's the one helping the next generation get there.

@kleo.artist — MOBO UnSung finalist, X Factor contestant. Since then, she's become an agent connecting artists with LCCM, and scouted talent for the Mathew Knowles Scholarship — yes, Beyoncé's father, judging the finals himself.

Artist, host, creative mentor. Remember this name.

260,698 streams on one song. Under 4,000 monthly listeners right now. Something doesn't add up, in her favor.

Tina Tammi, dancehall, grime, drill, part of the same riddim crew that's worked with NLE Choppa. "8 Bar Riddim" already proved the demand. The audience just hasn't caught up yet.

He charted on the UK's Official Album Download Chart. That's rare air for an independent artist.

@edweezyartistuk — East London. "Life of a Newham Boy" hit #45 on the UK Official Charts, #2 on iTunes Hip-Hop. Two full projects in one year, building consistently the whole way.

The chart already proved it. Remember this name.

Not a discovery, just respect.

@nonelikebee — "Fairchild," featuring Dave. Over 13.7 million streams and still climbing. Last year, she stood on Glastonbury's Shangri-La main stage, completely overwhelmed, and earned every second of it.

This is what it looks like when the work pays off. We see you.
