“…six years after working with them (Bizznezz Fam) everybody went their separate ways and I thought – you know what? I wanna carry on…” (Loaneski, Shebangs Interview, 2016)
That interview right there tells you that if you looked in the dictionary and looked up the meaning of the word ‘passion’, there would be a picture of Loaneski waving at you right next to it. This is a guy who started writing at 8 years old, took it seriously in his teenage years, overcame religious beliefs whilst pursuing his music career, and has taken a step further in giving back and teaching while he was still a student of the music game himself, literally at De Montfort University.
The Lone Wolf EP finally dropped last year in which Loaneski promises more of his conscious mind but also introducing a bit more cockiness which his close people know him for in just 4 tracks.
The EP kicks off with the ‘Predator’, with a very familiar beat every hip hop head should know. Here Loaneski further backs up the claim I stated earlier about adversity: “You can’t stop me/like Makoveli/it’s gonna take more than five shots to drop me…”
Then in ‘Paisa’, Loaneski truly goes into conscious mode on how money is manipulating us in so many ways and conforming to the pagan lifestyle. The subject matter spills into ‘British Yout’, which is a powerful message to our youth that they haven’t got to go the route of a ‘roadman’, so to speak, and not act so ignorant fighting over foolishness.
The EP closes out with its title and the persona Loaneski has adapted, with a jazzy backdrop. Here he tells you how he cares not for materialistic things, and how the term ‘freedom of speech’ is so hypocritical. He also goes into little more detail of why he

became the Lone Wolf, maybe referring to the ‘break up’ of ‘Bizznezz Fam’, or perhaps a double meaning.
With only four tracks, an EP before that entitled ‘Black Thoughts’, only shows that Loaneski is just getting started, and already 2018 is promising to be a mammoth year for him. This is quality lyrics with crisp production. Loaneski was told that he’s better suited to Hip Hop as opposed to grime… whoever told him that was telling the truth. It’s good that he mentions Mobb Deep in this project, the endorsement from Havoc alone should be enough to entice you into checking this out.
