This time last year, Dot Rotten was already a highly accomplished MC and producer with a substantial reputation in the UK's underground music scene. Now, after an outstanding 2010, the South Londoner, signed to major label Mercury Records, heads this year's queue of underground rappers on the cusp of breaking through into the mainstream. Last month, he was one of 15 highly-touted artists on the longlist for the BBC's prestigious Sound of 2012 award - whether he makes the final five (which is being announced this week) or not, Rotten's status as the only UK rapper in contention speaks volumes about how highly he is regarded by tastemakers in the music industry.
