Scorcher Returns with ‘All Dorks Must Die’

A foundational name in UK rap, Scorcher has never been one to follow trends. His new album All Dorks Must Die arrives after a brief re-emergence on the Ghetts collaboration “Ups,” and it wastes no time on filler. The ten-track project is concise and direct, pulling him back toward his roots while drawing in a contained group of guests.

The list includes K-Trap, who appears on the single “Comfort,” along with Chip, Milli Major, Blair, and Jme. Each feature fits without crowding the frame; Scorcher remains the gravitational center, his delivery as sharp as ever. The title itself signals a low tolerance for the unserious, an attitude that runs through tracks built for long-time listeners rather than algorithm-friendly playlists.

For an artist who helped shape the sound of UK rap when the scene looked very different, All Dorks Must Die reads less like a comeback and more like a statement of presence. No over-explaining, no attempts to smooth edges for broader ears. Just Scorcher, making it clear he still has reasons to take the mic.
