UK Rapper Tom Penny Releases Highly Anticipated Album ‘Both Sides Of The Coin’

Rising UK-based rapper Tom Penny has released his latest album, Both Sides Of The Coin. The album is heavily inspired by Tom’s experiences with introspection, self-reflection, and personal growth.

Penny states:

“The story behind this project tackles my journey with addiction and learning to control my vices to appreciate real love.”

With a lifelong passion for storytelling, Tom Penny’s love for hip-hop was ignited at the age of 16, when he began freestyling, which fueled his devotion to rapping.

Tom shares:

“Writing how I feel is the best form of therapy for me, turning some of my darkest moments into music.”

Taking influence from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Loyle Carner, and J. Cole, his unique sound and storytelling style echoes the works of these artists.

The album Both Sides Of The Coin features a mixture of upbeat, fast-paced lyricism as well as slower melodic rhythms. Featured track “Fiya Fiya” has seen great success so far across Spotify. Taking influence from the grime scene, this track reflects feelings of self-empowerment and taking control of situations in your life. “End Of The Road” encapsulates an emotional feel compared to other songs on the album, conveying sensitivities that rise at the start of a relationship.
