FREIGHT BRIXTON PRESENTS: SOUL OF THE SOUTH

Two of the UK's most compelling rising voices. One rooftop. This summer.

BaggE is a North London neo-soul singer and songwriter whose sound runs deep, Congolese heritage, jazz-infused vocals, and a lineage that traces back to Etta James, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. Featured by Clash Magazine and NME, and with a voice that's travelled as far as a Papa John's international campaign, she's been quietly building something undeniable since 2019.

ROZZZQWEEN is Birmingham-born, London-based, and impossible to ignore. A raspy vocal, fearless stage presence and the kind of emotional range that works as well up close as it does commanding a crowd. BBC Introducing's One To Watch 2026, Artist of the Month, and championed on Radio 1 by Jess Iszatt, she's fast becoming one of the most exciting names in UK music right now.

Catch them both on the rooftop this summer
