West Side
Τις ημέρες που ψιλιάζονται ότι ο κόσμος θα έχει φύγει από την πόλη φροντίζουν η φλόγα να είναι μεγαλύτερη.

Counsil Estate Video Clip
In my mothers belly and I'm starting to kick,
9 months in the womb and I'm making her sick,
Squeeze through the womb and I land in the room,
Don't know who we are, can't really tell,
We do the council flats and we do some jail (?)
Don't like school, in a week we go once,
Don't like th' police 'cos they kick and they punch,
God bless all the stress and the stress comes at once,
But remember boy you're a superstar
Can't break it, can't take who you are
Can't break it, can't take who you are
Remember boy you're a superstar
They call you council estate
They call you 'can't go straight'
They call you crime rate
They call you 'can't go straight'
And you're bending all the rules
Where you bury your tools (?)
Bending all the rules
Where you bury your tools
Your family can't visit cos the visits too far,
You can't be who you be 'cos you're not who you are,
Remember boy you're a superstar x3

Tricky #2
Preview the entire Knowle West Boy album.
Puppy Toy _ There's a girl called Alex Mills, who’s on my Brown Punk label. She sings on 'Puppy Toy'. She does the spoken word bits, too. She’s from Leeds.
Bacative & Baligaga _ The reggae vocalist on Bacative and Baligaga is my boy Rodigan from New York… one of the guys I hung out with in The Bronx. Seven years we’ve been friends, and he inspires me. 'Baligaga 'is a made-up word… don’t ask me what the fuck it means! 'Bacative' is Jamaican slang… if someone has your back, you’ve got 'bacative'. The female voice on Bacative, is this Spanish girl who I don’t really know and who isn’t really a singer.
Joseph _ Joseph is one of two songs I've named after the tune’s lead singer. I met him outside a food shop in LA. He was a busker. Problem is… I've lost his details. I have no idea where this kid is now. So I called it Joseph so, hopefully, he hears it somewhere and gets in touch. 'Cos I want to work with him again.
Veronika _ Veronika… she's a friend of mine from a really good band in Italy. And she wrote that song, not me. But I changed the music. So, again, I named the track after her.
Past Mistake & School _ The singer on Past Mistake and School Gates is my French-Moroccan ex-girlfriend Lubna, who I’ve just had an horrific break-up with. It's funny… me and Lubna wrote Past Mistake when we were just turning from good to bad. One day much later we were in bed listening to it and we realised that it was about us going horribly wrong. It's like we knew it was going to happen.
Cross To Bear _ Cross To Bear is sung by an Icelandic girl called Hafdis. The song's inspired by Scorcese's The Last Temptation Of Christ and I just thought her voice would be great because its kinda innocent. I thought she’d be good at playing Jesus. Not everybody could get away with that.
Council Estate _ And Council Estate is just me. It's the first single I've ever done with just me on vocals. I couldn’t whisper that song. I had to come out of myself and do a loud, screaming vocal. I wanted to be a proper frontman on that one.
Slow _ I covered Kylie's Slow because I love that song. And the video is one of the best fucking videos I’ve ever seen. It’s sexy as fuck. I was really conscious about my lyrics this time around. I find it easy to write lyrics… I'm blessed. And I really love doing it. But sometimes when something comes easy you get lazy.
