| July 10, 2026 – Today, 21-year-old rising producer and rapper from the UK, Lex Amarni, has released the official music video for his breakout single “the kill 2,” featuring 2muchmotion. Blending underground rap with electronic production and the restless energy of UK club culture, Amarni has rapidly emerged as one of the most distinctive new voices in the UK underground. The new stop-motion visual follows two conceited doll characters whose world of luxury, fashion, and social media perfection begins to unravel as they discover they’re surrounded by endless copycats. As their obsession with being unique turns into jealousy and paranoia, the pair embark on a surreal rampage, expanding Amarni’s distinctive creative world through a visual that is equal parts satirical, unsettling, and cinematic.

Amarni has been making music since childhood, first experimenting with GarageBand before teaching himself FL Studio and sharpening his skills through online tutorials. Inspired by producer-led electronic trailblazers including Skrillex, Diplo, and Fatboy Slim, he began creating beats for other artists before stepping behind the microphone himself in 2024. That producer-first foundation remains central to his work, allowing him to blend underground rap, northern UK dance culture, and unconventional electronic textures into a sound entirely his own.
His growing catalog includes collaborations with rvaia and 2muchmotion, alongside production work with yukan. Now reaching 3.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Amarni’s rise continues to accelerate beyond the UK underground. “the kill 2” has surpassed 40 million Spotify streams and has charted across 22 Spotify Viral Charts worldwide. With an expanded follow-up to the record and more new music planned throughout 2026, the official video offers the latest glimpse into the creative world of one of the UK’s fastest-rising new artists. |
