I don't think there is a more humble rapper out there, with every album the content is fresh and new he's never wrote the same song twice, enjoyed this one 👌
when i think of UK Grime, Rap anything to do with UK music, Devlin is in my head straight away. im 32 and been listening since i was 14, half of my life ive had This Absolute Goat on my daily playlists. Appreciate you Devlin 🙏
Devlin is simply brilliant and always has been, not sure he wants it, but he deserves so much more recognition. Another somewhat silent partner in a good few careers, just like his brother Jamal, RIP 👑.
Born & grew up in Dagenham for 20 years, remember Devlin and feel as Josh put it, he never got the public credit he deserves! Humble guy ✌🏼 not missed an episode of this, always buzzing until the next Wednesday evenings 🎉
Absolute legend of a guest 🤩 so humble, I sent Devlin a message the day of my mums funeral lower than low and his reply helped get through the day 🫶🏼 my little boys middle name is James, he’s a spurs fan even though I’m West Ham & he loves when I’m playing Devlin at 4 years old 😆🎉💙
Devlin is hands down the most talented grime artist the U.K. has produced. The fact he dealt with Wiley at 15 says it all. The first grime artist as stated to put meaning into his tunes, community outcast is a masterpiece. He definitely deserved more hype and credit. But everyone born in the early 90s that grey up listening knows what he did and is about
Ha! the comments about the house scene 😂 I was a big dnb raver back in the day, been to lots of sketchy parties over the years and it was nothing but love. The 2nd house/ techno party I attended I got knocked out by a bloke from behind in the chin!!! Far too many roid munching posers at house parties! Great interview lads, enjoyed it. Devlin really does deserve his flowers, he's beloved by a whole generation who fell in love with and were inspired by him & the grime scene. Such an intelligent down to earth fella too. ❤
Best UK MC & best bloke in the game. The 'seeya later Josh' in that restaurant proves it. If the world doesn't see that, then there's something wrong with the world. Cheers to all of you 🍺
FACTS BRO! I'm old school, 48 next month, used to rave to jungle which morped into drum & bass back in the 90, plus used to play on a couple pirate radio station in south, still got my vinyls, but the grime came after, i was never really into it but respected a couple of the mc's...Devlin was problems from day 1 and i could never understand why he never blew up like Ghetts..who i think is siick. But he must not of wanted that type of lifestyles, (just as i typed this he's saying he doesn't really do interviews or live shows rather just make music lol) 😎👍🏾
This brother went my school elm park / Rainham (Brittons) when I moved areas and he was like a myth of the corridor lol You know a few of my old boys and girls Devlin Hahaha your in my year book ... 2 year below me .. I moved to Dagenham in 2006 and my mate gave me tales of the crypt (a burned copy) because he didn't like it Me .... I never looked back everyday I type in Devlin to see what's new. Genuis, alien and a beast.
Had me creasing talking about the stick we’d of got winning that Europa conference league haha Really good watch this boys met devs in sugar hut in 2012 I think it was propa fella
Remember growing up in barking and all my pals from football from Dagenham was banging on Devlin non stop. Used to Bluetooth me the songs when I was about 8 or 9
Devs is sick my favourite grime artist from the original bunch ghetts is up there for me too but 1 thing he hasn’t done would have loved to have seen it is devs on lord of the mics
I can’t believe he has an album coming. He only recently released Eyes For The Blind and that plus A Moving Picture, are probably my fav Devlin Albums. I just wish that he got the love that he deserves. Sometimes I wonder if Artists like Devlin, ever doubt themselves. Like Devlin is 1 of the best artists in the U.K. and has been for many years but because he don’t get as much recognition, maybe he feels that he isn’t as good as he actually is. If Devlin stuck to pure grime, I’d probably have got bored , like I did with most of grime but Devlin brings so many styles and he’s matured so much over the years. That eyes for the blind was incredible and I have a feeling the upcoming album will be on a similar vibe. Bit of everything.
@@grahamkelly8662I also wish that he got the love that he deserves, he’s definitely the best in the UK, even Wiley has said multiple times that Devlin is the best MC. I remember a year or two ago, Devlin said he’s retiring & I was so sad. I’m glad he’s not stopping, I feel like he still has a lot left in him & he should prove why he’s the best (to the people that don’t know) I hope he doesn’t doubt himself or feel that he isn’t good enough, because he is. Even if he doesn’t/didn’t get the recognition he deserves, a lot of us know how great he is I love Grime & Devlin so I don’t think I would’ve got bored if he stuck to pure Grime (although Grime isn’t the same anymore 😢) but I love that he does other genres too. Tbh, I care more about Devlin’s lyrics than the beats he chooses, although that’s important too. One of my favourite Devlin songs ever is “Blue Skies”, which isn’t a Grime song, and it’s because of the theme of the song & how it makes me feel. I don’t think it would’ve impacted me the same if it was a Grime beat. I think he’s one of the best storytellers ever & he’s definitely matured. I hope his new album is a mixture of “pure Grime” & storytelling songs like Blue Skies, Community Outcast etc
@@onaematopia yep, Devlin really is incredible. I personally think he’s in his prime, now. Many artists get worse as they get older, same with sportsman etc but Devlin is like a fully matured Whiskey. He just gets better and better. I honestly think if he releases a few more albums, they will be his best. He has so many lanes and styles and he always seems to hit pure gold. Only album I’ve not bought, is Bud sweat & beers. Wasn’t super keen on it but I’ve not listened enough, to make up mind mind on it.
I absolutely loved grime, everyone knew it was my genre when no one else was listening. All my friends were listening to happy hardcore and rave music, I loved hip hop, R&B and then moved into grime. Initially I think the beats drew me in, the tempo worked for my brain. Lyrically there wasn’t really anyone that blew me away, until I heard Devs on a set and I was blown away. This was the times when you had to wait up for pirate sets, some that had just started video streaming, try and make sure the broadband was ok, rip sets and get them on lushforums. To this day, there isn’t many people that can touch Devs, given he was 17 at the time it’s just staggering how lyrically capable he was. That secures legendary status. I’d love to see him and Ghetts together now, I keep hoping for a B2B feature on an album. If I didn’t know who Devs was, I’d never have met my ex or had children when I did, that’s literally a madness 😂
Whiteboys brother in law here, Just finished listening from ep49 and what a quality bit of listening it's been! Well apart from the talk of plating my sisters bumhole 🤣 Mega proud of Chris for kicking the gear and sorting his life out and I have thought it since the day I met him the man can tell a story! You was made for podcasting. I'm over in Aus atm so it's been nice to listen to some normal bantering conversations because I tell you what they don't half talk some shit over here 😳 As for you Jamesy hopefully I get to meet you when I come back and visit, as for them eating habits of yours you need to seriously fix up 🤣 think nana pats is going to go near a man that doesn't season his chicken 😳 Also big up Devlin, grew up listening to him, lyrical genius and probably the most underrated man in music! All the best lads looking forward to the next one 👍🏻 Noah 👊🏼
Devlins a certified legend. Nice to hear vapour get a mention. I'm surprised devlin and vapour never linked up. I would say the levels of them both are very high.
Honestly people really underestimate what Devlin did for grime and the UK music scene, absolute legend. He inspired so many young white kids to think they could rap. We used to watch Eminem and couldn't relate but Devlin brought it to the UK
Ahh memories of listening to Rinse fm, Deja and Force after school! 😢 We are all gonna be pentioners reminiscing about pirate radio eventually... "ahhh those were the good ol days aye"😂
Devs top bloke..im 36 now nearly 37 i will never grow out off listening too devs.. you WILL see me in a wheel chair in a old folks home doing devlins mic hand karate he does on the mic with a fat...pair off earphones..you though i was gonna something else 😁😁...jokes aside wish devlin best luck i mean look Dr dre n snoop n older heads in america still doing bits n bobs so grand scheme things devs still young bit like football he go into managing whether producing or just background but no reason why few more good albums but if packed it in then get that too...cheers lads 👍👍
Older grime beats had a bit more feeling n singing samples n just a nicer feeling but still sorta grime...anybody remember Mr Tibbs..Big Tibbs...how you feeling great tune from way back and Mr tibbs charity...check em out I wonder if devs knows or remembers him would love too hear devs rated him
The most heartbreaking thing is, this guy had so much talent, and the world didn't get to see it. Instead radio artists like central cee stole it. Devlin deserved more. Absolute legend
I’ve been going in with the bars since school days when I used to save work on a floppy disk💾, But now I write rhymes for a wage everyday like a newspaper columnist. And it’s fair to say that I’ve got a vast following, Because I regurgitate bars like I’m vomitin’ You ain’t got a clue what I’ll do too your crew, I’ll unscrew your face halogen. Nobody did or has wrote more creative lyrics then Devs in the grime scene Absolutely deserves more success, I hope his upcoming album really does well for him.
Wish someone would ask him about the F*** Radio Ghetts Birthday Set… What it was like to be in the room with all those killers on the mic, who was the best etc. or when he killed it at 16 in the under 18s set
Dude on right interviewer this is my first time checking you boys but dude on the right you dont half look like a young Nikola tesla 😂😂...thats a compliment trust 😁😁
R.I.P. Black The Ripper 🌹🕊️. I couldn’t believe it when he died, it still doesn’t seem real. I remember watching his snapchats when he was in Montserrat & he seemed so happy & free, and then the next day he was dead. It all happened so fast
I don't think dev understands how people feel about what he does to beats . He plays it off like fuck all but throw on Devlin dealers and see a guy give a mic a workout
National treasure right there. Any 90's kid will always appreciate you Devz. We all grew up together listening to your music. Legend ❤
Well said mate
Golden age of Grime i say,Devlin was always my favorite,had that delivery and flow that always made you screw your face up
I don't think there is a more humble rapper out there, with every album the content is fresh and new he's never wrote the same song twice, enjoyed this one 👌
Thanks!
He's in the same hall of fame as Akala and lowkey ✌️
Loved this. Devlin's top 3 UK rapper of all time for me. And a great bloke to top it off. Legend.

He has a few classic projects imo
Devlin is simply brilliant and always has been, not sure he wants it, but he deserves so much more recognition. Another somewhat silent partner in a good few careers, just like his brother Jamal, RIP 👑.
Devlin seems like a real decent guy, no bullshit, humble, respectful and creative.
There will never be another Devlin a true product of an era that cant be replicated.
Born & grew up in Dagenham for 20 years, remember Devlin and feel as Josh put it, he never got the public credit he deserves! Humble guy ✌🏼 not missed an episode of this, always buzzing until the next Wednesday evenings 🎉
I remember first hearing Devlin back in 2006-2007 my brother used to send me his tunes on Bluetooth haha good times

Oh...and 'Bud, Sweat and Beers' is a Masterpiece. So underrated and up there with Skinnyman's 'Council Estate of Mind' as a UK Classic record.
Ghetts 2000 and life too
one of best mc's out of uk in fact world ! great podcast chaps
Ha! the comments about the house scene 😂 I was a big dnb raver back in the day, been to lots of sketchy parties over the years and it was nothing but love. The 2nd house/ techno party I attended I got knocked out by a bloke from behind in the chin!!! Far too many roid munching posers at house parties! Great interview lads, enjoyed it. Devlin really does deserve his flowers, he's beloved by a whole generation who fell in love with and were inspired by him & the grime scene. Such an intelligent down to earth fella too. ❤
Been listening to Devlin since the beginning and he deserves so much more. Lyrical genius, spits fire and venom each and every time
Loved it Gents thanks brought me back to my youth with Devz, an absolute pleasure to listen to. Legend
👊🏼
@24:11 not knowing that Devlin was in a group with Mercston is crazy 💀
Best UK MC & best bloke in the game. The 'seeya later Josh' in that restaurant proves it. If the world doesn't see that, then there's something wrong with the world. Cheers to all of you 🍺

Repping Romford bruv OKAYYY
Devlin - ghost ship ! The Song makes so much sense the older you get
Was just playing it about an hour ago. Great song and so is the Album
I met Devlin at a rave in Northampton once back in the day. He personally came over to me and shoock my hand 👊, proper sound geezer 💯
This brother went my school elm park / Rainham (Brittons) when I moved areas and he was like a myth of the corridor lol
You know a few of my old boys and girls Devlin
Hahaha your in my year book ... 2 year below me .. I moved to Dagenham in 2006 and my mate gave me tales of the crypt (a burned copy) because he didn't like it
Me .... I never looked back everyday I type in Devlin to see what's new.
Genuis, alien and a beast.
When devlin and dot rotten came out with there epz. It was something else mate !!!
Good interview man. Love Devlin. RIP Black the Ripper too
Big Devlin fan and 1st time on this channel. Enjoyed this. New sub.
Legend! Thanks so much. Hope you enjoy the other eps!
Devs will always be a uk legend ❤
I’d love to see him collab with Morrisson
The similarity between White boy and Devlin and Beats & M.C Grinder with Josh as Steves is astonishing! #diversityisourcomedy
LOL!
😂
Devlin deeperman. Best tune out there
Ain't nobody even lacing Devlin's boots. Best to ever do it by a mile
Quality boys! Proper enjoyed this 👊
Thank you 🙌
Backing track to majority of my teens still listening 17/18 years later massive respect devs

His fs4 still stays undefeated in my opinion
“I’ll stab you with a paintbrush, there’s art in my survival!” 🔥🐐
Great watch lads devlin is a legend and gentleman been watching him since day one . One thing I’ve always wanted is to see devlin and vapour going b2b
On a oldskool 2 step garage set

Big up devs.
