K Koke: "Are You Alone" was Based on an OG Who Snitched on My Whole Hood

UK Roc Nation artist K Koke in this clip talks to Vlad about the moment he realized he may have a career in music, early British "road," or gangsta rap, and the series of events that led to him signing a record deal with Jay-Z. Watch above.

Its not like he was the first ever white MC in the UK, we had people like Skinnyman and Chester P and Jehst paving the way pre Eminem when there was a REAL stigma to it. These youngsters should be paying tribute. They could prob still spit good verses to this day. Council Estate of Mind is our illmatic, its one of the best hip hip albums in its own rate let alone UK.
