We say
Riz MC, aka Riz Ahmed, has a good track record, having won many high-profile battles. He’s also an actor, and starred in Michael Winterbottom's The Road to Guantánamo. With this track, attention is already building, having been the subject of features in the Observer, Channel 4 News and Radio 1 phone- ins. Radio 1's Bobby Friction and Nihal played this to a barrage of positive audience response. A difficult track to break commercially because of its satirical nature, this still has huge potential to break virally. Taken from his forthcoming EP, this is a clever, witty and honest track. The video, already with over 16,000 views on YouTube is priceless. Definitely one to watch. JF London Gig: 24 June, Truman Brewery E1Contact
