I read in, ahem, The Fly that Lily Allen used to be in Crack Village. I have never seen anything anywhere else to back this up. Did she?

he did a track on a brave captain ep. it was okay, although sadly GLC have kind of ruined the hopes of any welsh rapper being taken seriously.

His Welshness is pretty spurious, I think he grew up there and moved away when he was 15 or something

five years pass...

well, the interscope thing fell apart due to 'thanks for all the aids'.
the debut album bombed.
he made a rather good second one self funded with stephen hague.
and now its all over.
r.i.p akira the don.
not sure re the midnitemen thing with wade crescent.
the new mixtape is fine and dandy, but it aint anything special.
however, wade does have the connections, so who knows, maybe this one will hit paydirt for them.

He did some lame song with Gruff Rhys that I listened to once, and I'm a pretty big Gruff Rhys apologist that usually listens to anything he does at least two dozen times.
