The Town Hall with Nicolas-Tyrell Scott: Che Lingo
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Portrait of Che Lingo. He is Black, wears round glasses, an open navy shirt with a tattoo visible on his chest

The Town Hall invites radical purveyors of art for a conversation, to discuss their art, journey, and process illuminating the intersections at large. Centering a dialogue-first approach and pivoting toward London’s unique musical cultures, the series provides commentary on being a multidisciplinary artist in these spaces, unpacking the current artistic, political and cultural moment(s) across London, but also Britain at large. 

Hosted by cultural journalist and speaker Nicolas-Tyrell Scott, The Town Hall looks to show artists in their most intimate form provoking intrigue, dialogue, and perspective acting as a conduit of conversation amongst the ICA’s contemporary music programming and allowing attendees to share their voices also.
Che Lingo is a vanguard of contemporary British rap. His album The Worst Generation was featured on soundtracks for FIFA 21/22 and NBA2K, as well as original music for the anime Jujutsu Kaisen and shows like TOPBOY and One Of Us. In April, Che will release his second studio album Coming Up For Air, addressing ruminations about the depths of his mental health, archiving harrowing stories and life reflections across the project.

Nicolas-Tyrell Scott is a London-based music and cultural journalist with his work printed/published in Pitchfork, GQ, The Face, HuckDazed and others. Studying politics and international relations at the University of Kent, he intersects his analysis in a sociopolitical hue, bridging the gap between what’s happening in the world and how cultural and musical happenings shape or reflect that. His work spans hip-hop to R&B, to emergent genres like drill, future-sounds, and afro-swing, always sure to tie lineages to each before framing their futures.
