I just told you and YES he is worth getting there early for. One of the most intelligent, talented emcees of the current crop. If you want vague examples of his style, think Roots/old Mos Def and Common stuff.

[ksbn mthr fckr]

oh right, nice one mate.

im not a massive fan of much hip hop stuff,im more of a rock n roll fan so i havent really heard Roots or Mos Def

i do love JayZ, Nas Blackalicious and Jurassic5 though

you'll most probably like him then. Kanye West and Just Blaze produce some of his tracks so he sometimes goes for a similar sound to Jay-Z but his lyrical content is on a slightly higher level than Nas. He has a kind of ease of delivery which makes his music very pleasing on the ear!

[ksbn mthr fckr]

so, is this fella the only support act tonight?

[diritto]

I think so, yeah.

TK was awesome i tell you, he's supported Kanye West resently here too, but his style is definately cool,check his new album, its hot! He was at glasgow and will be at wembley so no reason why he shouldn't be doing Manchester too. Apart from him and his dj, they're supported by Alfredo Ortis on the bongo thingys and Money mark goes mental on the keyboards, i mean mental, the guy could out-jump a kangaroo and still play the tunes man!
