Devlin Talks Kanye West

The grime MC speaks to our urban music blog...

UK grime star Devlin caught up with our urban music blog The Kanye West!

Yes, Devlin has spoken out about the time when he was featured on Kanye’s blog and Yeezy called him a ‘Gangsta rapper.’

Dev thought the American rapper was clearly taking the micky out of him, but was extremely glad for the namecheck:

“He did a bit of free promotion for me, but I think he was most likely taking the p**s, wasn’t he? [Laughs] Gangster rappers...”

The Brainwashed MC also went on to talk about the time when he clashed Wiley when he was 16...
“I tell you what, I was only young then, I was about 16. Wiley’s a nutter anyway and he just piped up and I just went and made the tune about him. I wish I’d never done it, but like you said, I never clash anyone I just watch myself, make my music and that’s it.
"Anyone can say what they want as long as they leave my old dear out of it. That’s how you know you’re doing well when others are having a pop at you, but that dub was just silly. You won’t hear me sending for anyone else, I’ve got too much to focus on.”
