Other acts on the list will appear for interviews on shows across the week with Lion Babe and Blonde joining Sarah-Jane Crawford, Sinead Hartnett on 1Xtra Breakfast with Twin B and Yasmin Evans, Silvastone and Rag n Bone Man in MistaJam’s show, Krishane joins DJ Target, Mila J is with Trevor Nelson, Protoje speaks to Seani B, Novelist is in with Nick Bright and Raury speaks to Adele Roberts.
On top of this, 11 of the acts have provided 1Xtra with world exclusive tracks – 1Xtra will be the only place in the world listeners will be able to hear them.
MistaJam says: “Supporting the next generation of talent across the genres we represent is firmly at the heart of what we do at 1Xtra and this year the Hot For list is stronger than ever! It's a real cross section of really exciting new talent all currently on their A game and with the quality music and talent needed to become massive in the next 12 months. In recent years we've been so far ahead of the curve, other tipster lists are just catching up so if you want to know what people will be tipping in 2016, make sure you pay attention to our list for this year!”
