DMT Daniel Miller is a rapper from Toledo, Ohio bringing something to the rap game that’s never been heard before. He’s unapologetically authentic and ready to take on any rapper that thinks they stand a chance against him. His latest single, “Lost N Space,” captures his uniqueness as its transformative concept takes the listener on a journey through his mind.
DMT Daniel Miller is a student of rap and brings everything he has learned from it to every track. For “Lost N Space,” he freestyled the first few bars and then delved into the track’s creative concept. The verses find him using a rapid fire flow while the hook is passionately sung. The production, which creates an atmospherically energetic tone, enhances the song’s unique narrative concept. “In the first verse it’s like I’m Bruce Banner and then I turn into the Hulk on the hook. Then I’m my alter ego on the second verse.” he said.
In addition to recorded songs, DMT Daniel Miller also enjoys battle rapping. As a rapper who builds his music around his lyrical skill and dexterity, winning a battle is a feeling unlike any other for him. He knows he’s skilled and is always ready to show that skill to anyone who doubts him. The passion for music within DMT Daniel Miller comes from a variety of sources but the number one reason is Daniel’s belief in himself and his faith in God. He treats music as a mission and his goal is to give people confidence so they don’t feel counted out and disregarded. He wants people to know that for him, it’s more than just music.
“I’m striving to make a positive difference on not just rap but the world. I want to inspire people to make artistic, imaginative and creative music again…People should know they don’t have to be a character. Being yourself is cool.” he said.
DMT Daniel Miller grew up admiring rappers before him and he wants to pave his own way in music just like they did. He wants people to recognize that he stands out from other rappers because of his authenticity that shines through in everything he does whether it be his flow, subject matter, musical arrangement and everything in between. He realizes that he may not physically fit the mold of what a rapper “looks like” and that’s okay with him because he wants to represent anyone who may see themselves as being different too.
The track “Lost N Space” is just a small dose of what DMT Daniel Miller has coming up. He’s got three projects on the way which are all at various stages of completion and they all take a different approach to the music. Sometimes the songs are freestyles and at other times, they’re tracks with a more focused subject matter, including topics Daniel isn’t sure the world is ready to hear. But, no matter what the subject is, Daniel is ready to take on anyone who has something to say about it or him and he has no problem demonstrating his skill in real time.
“...I’m not going to be under anyone’s control. Anyone who wants it can get it.” he said.
DMT Daniel Miller is continuing to prove everyone who doubted him wrong. At the beginning of his journey in rap, people, including family members, counted him out and dismissed him. They didn’t know how much work he had been putting in behind the scenes. He’s not going to let their doubts stop him and he’s going to continue to show them they missed out on the greatness he is going to achieve.

Tinie Tempah has opened up to NME about being committed to supporting the UK’s grassroots venues, and plans to drop what could be his first new album in nearly 10 years.
The London singer, rapper and producer caught up with us on the red carpet for the 2026 Ivor Novellos, where he is a member of the Ivors board and works to “continue to uplift and promote and protect songwriters” across the country.
Speaking about how the industry has changed since then, the rapper – real name Patrick Okogwu – explained how he and countless others owe their success to the grassroots venues across the country.
As a longtime supporter of the Music Venue Trust and their efforts to help protect grassroots gig spaces, Tempah has joined their bill for Everywhere At Once – a festival taking place at hundreds of vital venues across the UK next month.
“When I think about my time coming up, I think about the 10,000 hours that I put into going around the UK and performing in all the small venues from 100 capacity to 500 capacity,” Tinie said. “I think of all the times I got cheered, all the times I got booed, all the times there was no one there, or when there was one or two people in the crowd.
“I think it was really my rite of passage, because it helped me to build a core fan base, most of whom have stuck with me to this day,” he added. “Obviously we now have social media and you can cast your net out into the wider world, but there is something so important about being in front of people in real life.
“Think about all the scenes that the UK has been able to bring to the forefront over the years – they typically start underground and they typically start in places and spaces like that. So if we lose these spaces, I worry for the next generation of artists.”
He continued: “On top of that, live music is where a lot of musicians make the lion’s share of their income, so if we don’t have these venues to perform in, we’re screwed. Considering how much UK music has impacted around the world, it’s almost our duty as the British population to preserve some of these venues and spaces. Some of them should be institutions.”
Despite years of hard gigging, he has not released any new music since 2020, when he dropped the single ‘Top Winners. His last album was 2017’s ‘Youth’.
Speaking to NME at the Ivors, the ‘Written In The Stars’ singer revealed that he has finally completed work on new music with a renewed and sharpened focus.
“I took a long hiatus and I just went to figure out my life. But I’m definitely back now,” he shared. “There’s a lot of new music coming your way. I’m going to drop the project in September, so I’m super excited for people to hear that and take it in.”
“A lot of it is inspired by what I was just talking about: nightlife culture,” he continued, adding that it will be an album that takes listeners “on a journey through the night from the start – when you even have the idea of wanting to go out – all the way to the messy 4am that we all know and we’ve all experienced.”
“I’m super excited for people to hear it. I’ve worked super hard on it. I’m super proud of it as well.”
More details about the new release are expected to be shared soon, with Tinie Tempah playing at intimate venues across Newcastle, Norwich and Southampton as part of the Everywhere At Once festival next month.
Others on the bill include Becky Hill and The Lathums, and the festival is being spearheaded by Music Venue Trust, The National Lottery, Save Our Scene, and Association of Independent Promoters. Audiences will be given the opportunity to help support various music charities too, with donations distributed to War Child, Nordoff and Robbins, Help Musicians UK and Teenage Cancer Trust.

The news of the festival’s launch arrived at a vital time for the UK’s live music sector, as reports show that 30 grassroots venues were lost forever between July 2024 and July 2025 – and last year alone saw more than half of those remaining making no profit, with over 6,000 jobs lost.
There is currently an ongoing push for a ticket levy to be introduced, which would see smaller venues and rising talent across the country receive a contribution from arena and stadium gigs to ensure their survival. The pressure is now on for the live music industry to ensure that 50 per cent of these shows are voluntarily paying in by June 2026, or else the government will step in to make it mandatory by law.
