MC Wordz: Conscious Flow, Spiritual Fire, and the Art of Real Music

Since first picking up the microphone at 17, MC Wordz has carved a name for himself as one of the most intriguing new lyricists in the UK’s conscious rap scene. Blending deep spiritual insight with raw truth-telling, his journey so far has been nothing short of transformative — both personally and musically.

Now, just three years in, his words are resonating far beyond the local scene, as he continues to perform at major events and collaborate with like-minded creatives, including Twin Frequency and the Conscious Rapper Community.

We sat down with MC Wordz to discuss his beginnings, his mindset, and what real music means to him.

You’ve made serious progress since starting out at 17. How’s the journey been so far?

It’s been very eventful, to say the least. When I started three years ago, I never expected things to move this fast. This year alone, I’ve performed at numerous venues and festivals alongside so many talented and like-minded artists.

I’m forever grateful to everyone who has supported me and helped me reach this stage — from the people listening to my tracks to the promoters and teams who’ve believed in me. I’m excited to see where my journey continues to unfold.

How did you first get into music, and what inspired your journey?

I first started writing lyrics in 2021, during the pandemic. That period really opened my eyes — I began to see the corruption happening in the world, while also going through a deep personal and spiritual awakening.

At the same time, I was listening to other lyricists who were rapping about the same kind of truths. I didn’t have anyone around me who really understood those experiences, so I used rap as a way to express myself and connect with people online who resonated with the same ideas. That’s how MC Wordz was born.

Talk us through your creative process — how do you approach writing and performing?

When I write lyrics, it just flows naturally. I don’t force it or overthink it — if I connect with a beat, I can create something powerful in a short amount of time.

When it comes to performing, I don’t worry too much about how I’m perceived. I grab the mic, stay calm, and enjoy myself. For me, it’s about the energy and the message — not about ego.

Which track are you most proud of so far?

That would be my track “Ascension.” It carries a very powerful message, and the beat itself has a spiritual quality that fits perfectly with the lyrics. The song really represents who I am — both musically and personally. It’s about rising above negativity and understanding yourself on a deeper level.

How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never heard you before?

I’d say my style is unique and thought-provoking. I try to create lyrics that make people reflect — to question life, society, and their own journey. It’s conscious rap, but it’s also emotional and real. I want listeners to feel something deeper when they hear my music.

What’s been a standout moment in your career so far?

My biggest moment so far was performing in Nottingham, supporting Mr Traumatik and DJ Frenzee, alongside the Conscious Rapper Community and AudioWave Records.

Sharing that stage was a massive milestone for me — performing in front of that kind of audience, surrounded by people with the same passion and purpose, felt like a dream come true.

Who are your biggest influences?

I’d say my five biggest influences are Mr Traumatik, Devilman, MTD, CrossBreed Productions, and Jay3musicUK.

Each of them has a distinctive style and flow, with a mix of humour, knowledge, and energy. Listening to those artists back in college gave me the motivation to really go for it. Their creativity inspired me to find my own sound — and that’s what I’ve been building ever since.

What’s next for you?

Right now, I’ve got a few projects on the go — some solo tracks and some collaborations. I’m currently working on a Drill EP with Twin Frequency, which I’m hoping to release by the end of this year.

It’s going to be something special — powerful, meaningful, and high-energy. I can’t wait to share it.

If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be?

I’d love to collaborate with all of my main influences at some point — but if I had to pick one, it would definitely be an MC Wordz x MTD collaboration. That’s a dream collab for me.

What advice would you give to other artists trying to build their name in music?

Keep your private life off social media — focus on your art, not your image. Stay humble and authentic, and don’t try to copy anyone else’s style. Be yourself when you write, and keep your energy real when connecting with other musicians and supporters.

Every genuine connection you make builds a strong network over time. Real recognises real — and those connections are what will open doors in your career and your life.

Finally, what does “real music” mean to you?

Real music is when an artist speaks about real life — things people can relate to. It’s not about negativity or ego, it’s about truth.

When music comes from the heart, when it helps people think and feel — that’s real music to me.
