Watch: Young Welsh sevens rugby star turned internet rap sensation

Wales Sevens star Lloyd Lewis is about to release the first of his rap singles which were recorded in a converted garage.

The Dragons winger who looks on course to represent Wales at next years sevens World Cup has had more than 36,000 listeners of his EP SMS on Soundcloud.

“One of my school friends converted his garage into a studio and I just thought: ‘Let’s make some songs,’ said Lewis.

“I thought I may get some stick from the rugby boys with Wales and the Dragons but, fair play, they’ve been really sound and supportive of what I’ve made."

"I was really nervous about the reaction from people when it came out but I’ve hardly had any stick. It’s gone down really well with them and on the Soundcloud App."

“I wrote the lyrics myself and my friend Aron B, who did a music course in college, mixed them."

“It’s just a hobby and I’ve never thought about it leading to anything. I’ve done it because I like music and chilling with my friends in the studio.”

“Rugby comes first. I missed most of last season through injury but my aim is to remain in the Wales Sevens squad for the Commonwealth Games in Australia and the World Cup in the United States."

As you can see from the clip below, as well as being a talented rapper he also has a serious set of wheels, so remember the name.
