Some artists and musicians are products of their times; think of the 1960s hippie movement symbolised by The Beatles and Jefferson Airplane. Or N.W.A. capturing the rage of anger of Black communities towards the police in the 1980s. For the early onset of grime, a time that changed it all for Black British music, East London MC @ears_rg represented the lyrical fluidity and mental attitude of the new generation of musical upstarts, ready to take over London, the UK and the world.
Still going strong, heās far from a relic of nostalgia, but a man with more to giveā¦

I finally got a chance to go see the Grime exhibition on @museumoflondon yesterday. Itās so well done and has a recreation of @jammerbbk basement. Aka āThe Dungeonā. A place thatās very important to me and the entire scene at large. An iconic space thatās super important to the history of Grime. Definitely one of its Meccaās. And a hub filled with so many nang, unforgettable, classic moments! (Too many to mention) I spent a lot of man hours down in that basement honing and perfecting my craft. Recording songs like āGrimā with Wiley and JME, āHappy Daysā, more than half of āBreath Of Fresh Earsā and so many more from my early catalog.
Witnessed a lot of history in the making in real time. And Iām so proud and grateful to have been a part of shaping the sound and culture we all know and love today.
This exhibition was sick still. Really nostalgic and kinda emotional for me I cant lie, they really captured the feeling of the family, community and love this place holds. I recommend anyone that loves and appreciates Grime to go check it out before the exhibition ends. Big up! @riskyroadz for this one.
And 10 point to anyone that can spot my tags plastered about the wall. Tag me if you go and find em. š
(P.s that keyboard is a whole entire vibe in itself š¹)
Second single from āWatch Ya Back EPā is out now. āKeep Upā, a groovy tune featuring @ears_rg produced by @djcarca
Available now on all streaming platforms.
Purchase digital copy on Bandcamp.

Inner peace over outer pressure. Everything I need is already within. Listening to what my soulās been whispering. Stillness isnāt weakness ā itās where I find my power. Balance is the real flex.

A few months ago I was given the honour of being best man at my best friendās wedding. Not only that I was was also given the privilege of being his and his beautiful wifeās āWedding Officiatorā a title I held with much pride and overwhelmed me when asked if I would accept such an honourable task.
I could have cried. (If I remembered how. But thatās another story that therapy and inner child shadow work is helping me tackle)
Weāve known each other since we were just 10 years old so needless to say it was a trip to see him on his big day tying the knot!
The small and intimate wedding ceremony was so fitting for their union. And everyone that attended brought such an amazing energy and not one iota of energy was out of place.
Vibes from the moment we landed on the island. The nerves only started rolling in when on the boat and the ocean waves took my stomach by storm and had me hurling overboard (twice) just 15 minutes before I was set to wed them. Once I got myself together I was ready.
And gave a speech and ceremony from the heart. I love to see love and happiness. No matter how that looks.
I pray that thier union is blessed with the strength and endurance of all those that built the pyramids. And I hope that they grow together building their foundation day by day.
It was so beautiful to witness and no words could express my gratitude and my head swelled with pride. The fact they asked me of all people to help join them on this big day. Wow!
I hope one day I get the opportunity of finding an unconditional love. Worthy enough of me choosing daily to do life with. Hopefully one day Iāll meet my mirror soul. Who knows maybe Iāve already met herā¦
But hereās to love! š„Wishing you both a very blessed and long life together. šš¾š¤

From the early grime tapes to the Stockholm stage ā Ears brings the essence of UK underground to WAAC.
A name that holds weight in grimeās foundation years, Ears came up alongside some of the sceneās heaviest hitters. Known for his distinctive tone, punchy delivery, and razor-sharp flow, heās a voice thatās deeply rooted in the origins of the genre ā but never stuck in the past.
Now based in Stockholm, Ears has become part of the driving force behind the local UK music movement, blending his artist background with event creation and community-building. He alongside some friends created āWe As A Collectiveā as a way to push culture forward and give those likeminded people a sense of belonging as well as VIBES!
Catch him live on July 26, repping grimeās roots with new fire and showing the city exactly what UK energy feels like.
