When you think of the Rat Pack – you may think of the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr & Dean Martin; a group of popular entertainers that ruled Hollywood during the 1950’s - 60’s.
But here at MTV BASE, we like to recognise our very own home-grown talent and leading the way are 3 rising stars from London. The unstoppable Tinchy Stryder, the charismatic Bashy & the versatile Master Shortie.
They have all undoubtedly paved the way for the nu-skool urban music scene so to honour the trio, we decided to invite them down to the MTV studios and film a very special countdown.
We asked the boys to take it back to the old-skool and talk about their favourite classic songs & music acts that inspired them. Some of the artists they touch on include A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul & NWA. If you don’t know about these acts and the path they laid – you need to!

Catch “Back to the Old Skool - Braap Pack Top 20” on MTV BASE, 9th August @7pm
