Hype Williams is a supposed "relay" musical group best known for consisting of UK-born artist Dean Blunt and Russian-born artist Inga Copeland between 2007 and 2012. The group's lineup has remained obscure, and a variety of other names have also been invoked as members.[2][3] A shadowy representative named Denna Frances Glass has alternately been posited as either the manager of the project or a fake identity created by Blunt and Copeland.[2][3]

The group has remained elusive, giving few interviews and leaving the media in doubt as to the exact nature of the project, which encompasses music releases and the YouTube channel pollyjacobsen, which features a bizarrely cryptic range of content, run by Blunt.[1] Their work has incorporated opaque imagery and contexts,[3] as well as an idiosyncratic online presence, occasionally uploading new songs before promptly deleting them with listeners often keeping archives. In 2016, Glass announced that Blunt and Copeland were no longer part of the project, which would be continuing with other members.[4]
