DA BLOODY MOBOZ.
The MOBO’s happen ever year, and every year I watch and enjoy but never really know who any one is. But this year. THIS YEAR I DO.
It’s the same thing that happened at Reading Festival this year, I knew who they were.
And by ‘they’ I mean, all them Grime artists. Since stepping foot in Reprezent Radio, I have gained so much appreciation (and I like to think street cred.) Being about to recognise artist and music that I wouldn’t usually listen to is the best feeling and this year at the MOBOs I did just that.
It’s fair to say my Rep family have trained me well.
The MOBO’s will go down tomorrow night and since we don’t have any winners I am going to pick who I want to win from the nominees for this weeks #SIBLEYS6
