Slangin' humble pie and Stella pints in the same sentence

M1llionz - B1llionz
(From B1llionz single; 2020)




FFS can't believe I enjoy a U.K Drill song by some breh afflicted with the dreaded kid's TV presenter voice which runs rampant in the sub-genre. Tbf, M1llionz's Brummoi accent does have chutzpah and the B1llionz beat conjures up images of green grass rather than grey pavements. Not arf bad for a miserable style of music I usually can not stand.

Maybe I'm buggin' but the flow/beat combo here kinda make me think of a midlands Jacka. Midlands Jacka: a phrase I never expected to type lolz.

i remember trilla did an interview with westwood as part of his legendary crib session and trilla compared bassline/4x4 to hyphy and ever since then i've always strongly felt that stylistically birmingham mc's are basically the uk adjacent to bay area mc's.

interesting that him and pa salieu seem to be on the same label, kind of digging that whoever is in charge has figured that we live in a pretty diverse place and most mc's from london have the personality of a wet sponge.

I like the consistency of him sporting a black beret on the youtube thumbnails just after the previous post.

Hah M1llionz is wearing a wool Kangol cap but it does look very beret-esque in the thumbnail 😄

From Britcore to Bingocore.

I wonder if the BBC will stand by their man since he was presenting pretty much all the 'urban music' documentaries on BBC4?
