Made.Allayne is teeing himself up as an artist we should all have firmly on our radar’s for 2025. Bringing a global influence from his LA home, Jamaican parents and time spent in the UK, Made has reignited the iconic tonality of noughties rap icons, forging a path that speaks to his culture and his creative passion from those same 2000s foundations.
His faith, coming of age, relationships and ambition all play a part in astute lyricism. Music provides a collection of his own progress and journey, steadily striving for perfection within his independence.
As a commanding showcase of this talent’s latest flourish, the 2024 track ‘EFM (Energy for me)’ springs to mind. Soulful samples, bouncy drums and high-speed flows, everything from the vocals to the production to the sleek chops are indicative of expert flair.
Speaking on ‘Energy’ and the fresh creative vision that it details, Made.Allayne shares, “Energy for me was written on the back end of an ugly break-up. A lot of words were said and it really drained me of myself – I was so focused on what I gave to the other person and how they perceived me. In our last conversation, she really just unloaded everything on me and there was this clarity that came over my lens of the situation and my life as a whole. That’s when I decided not to respond or give a damn about her or anybody else going forward. It hit me like an epiphany: Keeping all this energy for me. I only want to spend my time and energy on the people and experiences that appreciate and recharge me.”
