We say
Riz MC, aka Riz Ahmed, has a good track record, having won many high-profile battles. Heââ¬â¢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
