Pop fact! Akala is infact Ms Dynamite's brother - but he and his record company don't really want you to know that, so keep it under your beenie.

The actual track itself is quite nice - a step away from grime-by-numbers with a lovely looped string sample over the top of a lilting beat. However, Akala's flow is clunky, his voice entirely unremarkable - and his lyrics are baaaad as in bad.

Coupled with the obligatory bravado, Akala relays the story of his already remarkable life - replete with the magnificent; "I took exams with the geeks of the school / I spent my teens sticking but I'm one of Britain's best mathmeticians / Official - I got the certificate". Well, quite.
