About the artists

Olaolu Akeredolu-Ale, better known as Slawn or Olaolu Slawn, is a British-Nigerian designer and artist. Most of his works include spray paint, large-scale pop art canvases, graffiti, caricatures and murals. In 2023, he became the youngest person to design the Britannia statuette for the annual BRIT awards.

For his first major London exhibition, Slawn collaborated with gallerists Phoebe Saatchi and Arthur Yates to create I present to you, Slawn, at Saatchi Yates Gallery, Bury Street (Sept. 12–Oct. 20, 2024). The show’s centerpiece was a mural composed of 1,000 small canvases, each priced at £1,000. All of them sold out during the exhibition

Miles Parks McCollum, better known as Lil Yachty, is an American rapper whose rise began with the viral wave of One Night, the breakout track from his debut EP Summer Songs. Soon after, he released the mixtape Lil Boat and signed with Motown, Capitol Records, and Quality Control Music, cementing his place in the industry.

His first studio album Teenage Emotions climbed high on the charts despite mixed reviews, while follow-ups Lil Boat 2 and Nuthin’ 2 Prove sparked commercial success but continued to divide critics. With Lil Boat 3, he maintained his presence before shifting direction with Let’s Start Here, a bold turn toward psychedelic rock that won him critical acclaim. The collaborative record Bad Cameo with James Blake pushed further into that terrain, praised for its experimentation even if it slipped outside mainstream charts.

Yachty is equally recognized for guest features on DRAM’s Broccoli and Kyle’s iSpy, tracks that showcased his playful, buoyant style. Beyond music, his cherry-red hair, easy humor, and unshakably upbeat persona have made him a fixture of pop culture. He has also earned a Grammy nomination, marking his crossover from internet phenomenon to industry mainstay.
