Artists Predictions 2025
Stepz
UK Drill ● United Kingdom
The 22-year-old rapper and social media star has had TikTok in a choke hold since 2022: he was the most-viewed UK artist on the platform that year, beating out pop superstars like Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith. But the South East Londoner is formidable behind the mic, too, earning co-signs from grime legends like Dizzee Rascal and D Double E. He dropped his first EP, Step by Stepz, in 2023, though it’s his 2024 single “Rock” (and its accompanying air-guitar dance moves) that took Shazam by storm last year, charting in 24 separate countries since its release in October.
