Mama

Plan B

679

WE SAY

Plan B's star is rising since we featured him last December. After releasing two limited edition 7"s, this is his first single proper. This is playlisted on Radio1, 1Xtra and Kiss 100. Heavily tipped across much of UK press, his own unique guitar-driven sound is refreshing and lyrically, Ben Drew is raw and uncompromising. Continuing his trick of lifting lyrics from classics, the use of Hall and Oates' I Can't Go For That works brilliantly. Watch the video - (WMA/Real). JF
