OK, so…

I rap. Have done for years. When I was sixteen I was convinced I was going to be the biggest ever, but it only took me about two years to realise that while rapping was fun, writing was what I wanted to do.

Still, fun is fun. So I kept rapping. And the other day, I had a line going around in my head, a line referencing a scifi novel I like…

All you kids on the Nebulas that’s winning awards/ Hugo ‘head…’cos one day, I’mma win ’em all / Come home, wheel a massive case through the airport/ Put ’em on the shelf, no you can’t Touch ’em – Claire North

And it kind of ballooned from there, until I had a whole three-minute rap name-checking 64 different books, all set to Joell Ortiz’s track Battle Cry.

Here it is.
