Release Notes:
An East London raconteur with an ability to write in a
horrifying first-person narrative (similar to Bret Easton
Ellis) as a variety of outlandish characters, Ben Drew
(aka Plan B) specializes in weaving explicit tales about
gangbanging, psychopaths, and junkies. With his
distinctively cockney accent over grimey beats, he comes
across like a hostile version of the Streets on record,
while his live shows are stripped down to bare vocals over
acoustic guitar, showcasing his enigmatic switches between
controversial raps one moment and personal Ben Harper
choruses the next -- as if Jamie T. were channeling
Eminem. Drew started playing R&B soul ballads at a youth
club and at urban showcases when he was 14 years old.
After a couple of years of going unnoticed and getting
pigeonholed as a Justin Timberlake-type sensitive
singer/songwriter, he came to the realization that the
public wasn't taking him seriously, and reacted by making
a conscious decision to move into a more experimental
narrative territory. He referred to this drastic artistic
change as his alternate plan and adopted Plan B as his new
moniker. His writing style soon gravitated toward that of
a screenwriter as he scripted rhymes that featured strong
dialogue, plot developments, and antihero protagonists. By
19 he penned the shocking and heavily detailed "Kidz"and
"Dead and Buried." Three years later, in 2006, 679 Records
released his debut album, Who Needs Actions When You Got
Words.
