Someone has finally made a Match Of The Day themed drill video. Got so much players from back in the day, we gotta come first on Match Of The Day, all we did was attack like Robben and Drogba, we didn't need no Makelele

Fairly sure that this is the first grime video filmed (partly) outside the King Power Stadium. Bugzy Malone sent for Chip outside White Hart Lane one time iirc

anyone listen to any mix series / radio shows with uk rap (especially the afropop or drill stuff)? i go through youtube channels like grm daily, link up tv and pressplay sometimes but it seems like there are a ton of forgettable songs for every exciting one. which is still kind of fun, but you know...
the closest thing i've heard is gully type, where the mixes start with uk drill for a while before switching to different material, talking and stuff. i've never actually listened beyond where they change tempo. but for example i love the first 20 mins of this one from 2017:

Truly honoured to have been in the crowd for Bucket Hat Alex. The tension, the look of fear on his face and the explosion of joy when he pulled it off was up there with any penalty shootout I've seen.

This one sounds like it's got a bit of a dancehall influence. I think it's good that Unknown T's been trying to do things differently since Homerton B but at the same time it'd be nice to hear more bangers like that.
I'm a sucker for tunes with built-in reloads

This is the best grime tune in I don't know how long. Kano's still got it and D Double and Ghetts are back on form, and it's really good to hear a new grime beat that sounds fresh.
