29 Sep 1999-2020 – Collaborations with TY
In 1999 Drew began working with UK Hip Hop pioneer TY—both a visionary rapper and producer—on his debut album Awkward (2001), contributing to underground classics such as The Tale. Their partnership continued on TY’s Mercury Prize–nominated album Upwards (2004), which they co-produced, bringing international recognition and leading to a collaboration with US Hip Hop legends De La Soul on TY’s follow-up Closer (2006).
Over the next two decades, Drew and TY continued to work closely together across Special Kind of Fool (2010), the Kick Snare and an Idea EP (2013), A Work of Heart (2018), along with countless singles, helping shape a unique sound of Hip Hop with a blend of sharp lyricism and soulful, groove-driven production.
Sadly, TY passed away on May 7, 2020, at the age of 47 due to complications from COVID-19. Drew continues to honour his friend and collaborator through his ongoing work as a producer, composer, and engineer. Read More on Ty & Drew’s Story.
