I came across the most unlikely hip hop duo today at work, Bas and Pete. Hailing from South East London, they originally got into making music after Pete would listen to his grand daughter playing music in the car. No, that isn’t a typo; you see, Bas and Pete are both in their 60s.
Being a rapper is largely a young man’s game. 30 is most certainly old, 40 is completely geriatric. So to be laying down sick lines while also collecting a pension is nothing short of inspiring.
The UK rap scene isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I would recommend giving these two gents 3 minutes of your time.
