These two London pensioners just made a gangsta rap banger
- 6 years ago
Forget Stormzy and Wiley and meet Pete and Bas, two London rapping pensioners who think they are about to take the UK music scene by storm.
Bas, 70, is a piano teacher while Pete works for the National Trading Standards Board, which combats rogue traders.
But there's nothing rogue about this track, titled "Shut Ya Mouth", in which Pete and Bas spit rhymes over a haunting, spectral beat in the most brutal, grimey UK gangsta rap tune of the year (granted, it's still only January).
"Look in me eyes / I ain't here for the pork or the pies / I have had enough of that dirt / Don't get wise / These hands don't care about another man's eyes," raps Pete (he's the one wearing glasses) in one verse in the video, filmed on the streets of London.
Bas has been a huge fan of grime music ever since being introduced to the scene by one of his piano students while Pete is the rap fan.
The two are part of the six-strong music collective Sindhuworld, who previously shot to some kind of fame with the track "Sun Shines (On You)", performed by corner shop owner Sindhu and Uncle Bal.
On their YouTube channel below the "Shut Ya Mouth" video, one listener comments: "This is the hardest grime tune of 2018 so far, a lot of MCs need to step up lool. Also Bald guy sounding like Prez T."
Sindhuworld say "Shut Ya Mouth" will be on all major music platforms soon.
