(From Lords Of The Underground compilation; 2007)
One of my favourite British One Song Wonders™, it's North London's Gemini with the Grime equivalent of Devin The Dude's Mo Fa Me. Pounding the pavement in his khaki M-65 jacket, Gemini is the missing link between Travis Bickle and Peter Barlow, and the video uses comic strip graffix far more effectively than Walter Hill's silly "Ultimate Director's Cut" of The Warriors. A Channel U TV classic, Me N Da Girlz comes from a 2007 Grime compilation released by none other than U.K Streetsounds Electro supremo Morgan Khan who later went back to his roots in 2009 with a Nu-Electro compilation featuring an incredible Newcleus track. Dry-eared rando Grime connosiers insist that the music turnt to shit after 2006, but choonz like Me N Da Girlz and Tempa T's Next Hype obliterate 80% of supposed golden-era Grime songs from the early 2000s. Plus, the only legit choons Skepta has ever released were when he removed the stick from his arse and went full craven Grime-Pop in 2008 with Rolex Sweep and Too Many Men.

This is much better quality than the original upload.
Definite classic.
This upload is by the director. He also did fellow Channel U classic Benny Bizzle's Knocking On My Door (it comes from the same compilation too!)
Gemini + Benny Bizzle were on a Skepta/JME song

That's quite good tbf..... but not as good as Rolex Sweep 🥂
Chick King plug in the video. Dreading how much it must be charging now.
"YESTERDAY'S PRICE AIN'T TODAY'S PRICE!!!"
wow. danny brown must really loooove that song
Ironically first time I saw this tune (Grime nerds have weird/bad taste, shock) it was via Skepta's social media.
Safe blud, spud, spud, spud, spud, gone.
