Like Lowkey says "the American Dream only exists if your sleeping." Statistically if your born into poverty your 99% likely to die in it also. The tiny percentage of people that make it out are held aloft as a supposed example of - the boot trap meme. This is also a demonstration of why Grime is amazing and also why it will never be mainstream, because you either get it or you don't. There's no middle ground. Great reaction :)

Fantastic to see the music reactions making a comeback, great reaction thanks 😊 Devlin is often underrated, but he's a brilliant talent. Saw him live in 2010, one of the best sets I've ever seen. Great lyricist and songwriter, as well as having ridiculous flow 👌
