Before I clicked on play I just thought that On A Level, the new single from Ghetts, would be the same old mediocrity that I have come to expect from the UK’s rap/grime “elite”, but I was pleasantly surprised.

October 1, 2011

Several days ago media and entertainment union BECTU put MOBO Awards organisers on blast and urged them to pay ALL their staff.
