AJ Tracey Wins MTV Brand New For 2017!

After two weeks of furious voting on Instagram, AJ Tracey has been crowned the winner of MTV Brand New For 2017 with MTV UP! Energy Drink.

The West London MC, who’s currently tucked up in bed due to illness (get well soon AJ!), fought off competition from runner up Stefflon Don to take the title.

On his win, AJ said: “Yo I'm stoked! Thank you MTV Brand New, and more than anything, thank you to all of my fans - you lot always ride for me and you really are the best!”

AJ will officially be celebrated at our MTV Brand New showcase tonight at London’s Electric Ballroom where we’ll see former Brand New nominee Sigala smash a headline set along with Stefflon Don, The Amazons and Tom Grennan taking to the stage in support.

AJ now joins the ranks of previous Brand New winners including Justin Bieber, Anne-Marie, Krept & Konan, The Vamps, Conor Maynard and more.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all this year’s nominees, AJ Tracey, Bishop Briggs, Disciples, JP Cooper, Nadia Rose, RAY BLK, RAYE, Stefflon Don, The Amazons and Tom Grennan, who no doubt are all going to go on and do amazing things.

Watch highlights from our Brand New For 2017 showcase on MTV Music on 3rd March at 9pm.
