ATO Is Wiping The Slate Clean On ‘Start Again’

Words: Dylan Murphy

The British-Ghanaian-Danish rapper and producer returns with his first song of 2024.

ATO has been a consistent feature in our rotation for the past few years. First landing on our radar through collaborations with Irish singer and producer EDEN, his careful blend of hip hop, subtle electronic elements and catchy melodies scratch an itch for emotive crossover rap.

Today, he’s returned with ‘Start Again’, his first release of the year. It drills down on his trademark sound and features production from Justin Ueyama, stevexcooper and EDEN – a quartet that’s proved prolific in the past few years.

It comes after the 2023 release of DEATH OF A 2K7 PLAYBOY. Keep your eyes peeled for more from the London-based artist.
