A GIFTED Wrexham musician's EP party is expected to 'receive a lot of support' this week.
Rapper Korrupted will be celebrating the release of his brand new EP 'General' via live performances at The Parish, Wrexham on Friday (July 19, 9pm-late).
Since its release, his tracks from the EP have seen regular airtime from Adam Walton on BBC Radio Wales, as well as being played on the likes of BBC 1XTra.
Wrexham's Red Roach Records - which recently celebrated its first birthday - has been working alongside Korrupted on the EP.
Formed by hip-hop inspired street poet, project manager and community advocate, Evrah Rose, the music label was set up to give some of Wrexham's top talents a voice.
Talking about Korrupted's work, Evrah said: "We're incredibly proud to support Korrupted with his debut release, 'General', which has seen a brilliant response so far.
"Our aims at the label are to ensure local artists fulfil their potential and are given the resources and support packages necessary to achieve this. With much more in the vault, he's set to have a great year and we're thrilled to be part of his journey."

Evrah added: "We've also had the pleasure in supporting fellow artist JP with his recent EP release, and recent YouTube drop, ('Dedication' & 'Stepping On Streets') both of which, have received much praise.
"JP has since featured on Bethan Elfyns 'All Wales' playlist, whilst both Korrupted and JP have enjoyed regular features on Adam Waltons BBC Introducing show on BBC Radio Wales.
"Their first few months have proven to be quite successful and we can only begin to imagine their growth with us over the next year.

"It really is an exciting time at Red Roach, with more announcements coming over the next few weeks. Stay locked in for more!
"We are a team who understands the importance of independent music venues and how influential they can be in the showcasing and spring boarding of growing artists.
"Which is why we'd like to share our thanks to Kev of the Parish/The Rocking Chair. The Parish is a much-loved venue and Korrupted's EP party is set to be a top event, filled with many from the local scene."
"Red Roach co-director Owen Davies (aka OD of Elm Studios) added: "I had the pleasure of working alongside Korrupted on his EP, 'General' and it's great to see how well it's gone down with his fans.
"His release party is sure to be a packed out event. So make sure you're there, July 19th .... let's go!"
