This was released when he was 17 & you can see with most of the UK artists speaking out about the govt etc at that age like Dave,and other OG’s in the scene that went through Lord of the Mics & it’s all cause of the way they all were grew up in their diff ends.Just shows that no matter the ends,man still go through the same if u’re in the projects & all that agony and pain is projected from the heart,to the ink in the pen,to the pads and projected to the speaker to our head as Mic Righteous says & those conscious rappers and grime mc’s are always the woke and the best out there 🔥🔥🔥👊🏾💯🇬🇧
Yea I can definitely see a common theme between them, and that quote from Mic really hits perfectly at why I've been loving the UK Scene, they're all just super real with it!
he made this song when he was 16, there were two songs too this. this is the radio version, it got cleaned up because of certain words he said. one of them was too do with Tony Blair, there's also two versions of London City
When he says BROWN he says it’s safe to live and raise kids... he means Gordon Brown... the prime minister at the time but also doubles as brown.. Herion which is known as street name “brown” this is the Brown she knows.
Originally devlin says where Blair, Tony Blair it's safe to live an raise kids, music video it's Gordon brown. By the music video Prime minister. Gordon brown was in charge,. It may be mentioned in the comments I haven't looked.
The ‘Old Folk’ verse, it catches me off guard EVERY time I hear it like it’s my first listen even though it’s probably my 💯th. it’s so damn deep and heartfelt! Devlin a proper rapper at 20yrs old. On a lighter note, can we please get Devlin - London City. Not the remix the original version which I’ve linked below. It’s a blessing we got you in these U.K. reactions. Your still on the tip of the iceberg my friend.. ruclips.net/video/hmCoCTPWP-I/видео.html
This is pre 2010... original is around 2006... personally 17 year old devlin was the best version... that young untapped mind was amazing, dont find him as good nowerdays, the original of this is from tales of the crypt, unreal tape
Your seeing this video when he brought the video out at 21 but he released this on his first album when he was 16 album called tales from the crypt he was way before his time.
Speaking of Devlin, you should hear one of the most hype grime songs out there: Bring them all/Holy Grime. It’s Wiley (considered the godfather of Grime) ft Devlin.

It’s no coincidence that Devlin, Ghetts and Wretch used to hang out and work together.
You can definitely see the common themes in their music!

Well said
Devlin - Runaway. It's another deep song
he made this song when he was 16, there were two songs too this. this is the radio version, it got cleaned up because of certain words he said. one of them was too do with Tony Blair, there's also two versions of London City

I think it was first released in 2006 so he would have been about 17 years old
woow thats insanee!
yep i remember him back then still see him around now nothing changed tho area still like this
Devlin is a legendary man
Facts!!
When he says BROWN he says it’s safe to live and raise kids... he means Gordon Brown... the prime minister at the time but also doubles as brown.. Herion which is known as street name “brown” this is the Brown she knows.
Well, before Brown, it was Blair, he updated it when the change of PM happened.

Crazy that someone that young was already thinking like this!
Your seeing this video when he brought the video out at 21 but he released this on his first album when he was 16 album called tales from the crypt he was way before his time.
