Octavian Bet

On the 1st of February, a leaked video for a brand new Octavian track 'Bet' hit the internet. Featuring fellow Essie Gang member Michael Phantom, the track and video quickly became a word of mouth anthem, leading a flurry of fans and artists joining in the #OKBETCHALLENGE. Today, the 'Bet' story continues, with UK legend Skepta adding a signature verse to the track and joining Octavian, Phantom and the rest of Essie Gang on a brand new Armin Druzanovic -directed video. As the top YouTube comment for the original video correctly states: "Get Skepta on the remix and its straight greeze".

Following an incredible 2018, which saw Octavian make the transition from highly rated underground prospect to becoming one of the most exciting, vital new voices in UK music, the London rapper and producer has taken things to a whole new level in 2019. Starting the year by winning the BBC's coveted Sound Of 2019 poll, he quickly followed up with brand new music including Transatlantic collaborations with some of the biggest production names around including Take A Daytrip (famed for their production for the likes of Sheck Wes's Mo Bamba) on 'Stressed', and Diplo on 'New Shapes'.

Tonight in London, Octavian will play his biggest sold out headline show to date at London's 2400 capacity O2 Kentish Town Forum.
