So I just found out that Grey Worm from Game of Thrones has a musical side hustle.
His government name is Raleigh Ritchie, and this is a nice little tune. It's also one of the more interesting music videos I've seen in a while, mostly because of his performance. I hope it takes off, considering dude is putting in work making one of the lamest roles in GoT cool and deserves a better role somewhere. Also, I love the place his lyrics are coming from...very honest.
On another note...this is SO urban British. Every time somebody tries to tell me that all the deprived British youth listen to hip hop, I think of tunes like this and remember trying to introduce the kids in my old neighborhood in Manchester to De La Soul and Common and hell, even Drake and getting looked at like this;
If you say so miss...
Meanwhile tunes like this and from guys like Tinie Tempah and Taio Cruz were everywhere. And don't even get me started on the grime scene. The local aging white hipsters, on the other hand, loved my aging conscious hip hop. Go figure. And sing your song, Grey Worm.
