He created it when we were in high school. Used to record local rappers with his little camcorder and post the videos on his youtube channel.
Then his mum went on X-Factor and was really good, which then allowed him to get a few serious bigger connections within the music scene.
This helped him to grow more and more. The likes of Skepta, Giggs etc were nobodies at the start- and being on his platform helped them blow up
GRM daily and sites like that would have never existed without him doing this first.
Sadly, his death it is confirmed.
Wow. What a come up story.
Wow. What a come up story.
really was. Even got given a title by the Queen and in our high school they put pictures of him up as like a dedication to him etc. It was really cool. Became a millionaire and still comes back to the old block he used to live in aswell so none of the s*** went to his head
Put so many people on from back in the day too
Suffered a heart attack today and passed away
