Aitch

Aitch, born Harrison James Armstrong, is a British rapper from Manchester whose stage name reflects the local pronunciation of the letter H. He began freestyling as a teenager and broke through with «Straight Rhymez», a track that gained millions of views and attracted attention from established UK grime and rap figures such as Stormzy.

Aitch's sound blends UK rap and grime with catchy, pop-leaning hooks, giving his music broad crossover appeal beyond the traditional UK hip-hop scene. His breakthrough single «Taste (Make It Shake)» reached the UK Top 10, and further momentum came from EPs like AitcH2O and Polaris, the latter featuring the hit «Rain» alongside AJ Tracey and Tay Keith.

Known for his charismatic delivery, regional pride in Manchester and knack for hooks, Aitch quickly became one of the most recognisable names in the new generation of UK rap. His early recognition included being named on BBC Radio 1Xtra's Hot For list, and his output has consistently balanced street credibility with mainstream commercial success.
