Lambert & Yoker

19 year-old Glaswegian, Teddy Lambert (aka Rapture 4D) turns in his official debut in the form of the 'Lambert & Yoker' EP for Astral Black. Across 6 instrumentals, Rapture 4D shows a maturity beyond his years, delivering a progressive debut that demonstrates why this young producer is heralded as the leader of Glasgow's new-wave described by FACT magazine's John Twells as blending 'post-TNGT instrumental trap business with Bloom-ish pneumatic grime'.
Without an official release to his name, Rapture 4D has created a name for himself amongst the grime scene over the past 18 months. The past few months alone have seen R4D taking up residence in Red Bull Studios, collaborating with grime scene OG's and contemporary peers such as P Money, Plastician, Flirta D, YGG, Lady Chann, Spooky and Capo Lee to name a few. This January R4D earned his stripes holding down an hours self produced set alongside his partner in Grime, Polonis, with the original grime kid Wiley handled mic duties to a frenzied Sub Club. Rapture 4D also currently holds the title of UK Beat Boss champ (as voted for by Jammz, Grandmixxer & Flirta D) with his remixes for the likes of AJ Tracey & Rude Kid finding their way in to top 5 charts for 1xtra.
'Lambert & Yoker' has already received support from DJ heroes Slimzee, Sir Spyro & the Boxed crew on their radio shows for London's Rinse FM, NTS & Radar Radio. 'Black Ice VIP' is set to be premiered by Complex Magazine, with support elsewhere from Mixmag & FACT Magazine.
It's undoubtably a press release cliche, but the talent and work ethic demonstrated by Rapture 4D proves he is one of the most exciting producers currently operating in the UK and this debut release is just the first milestone for this talented young producer.
