Rappers Delight

For a while now we've kept the truth about Steve the rapper quiet, but now is the time to reveal that he's the latest edition to our 'street team' and you don't get much more street than Steve. Finding a homeless man at Southbank is no big deal, but with Steve, we've unearthed a gem who can rap with the world's finest. Since meeting him we've hooked him up with sponsorship and whenever we hit London for a media opportunity, Steve is always on hand to spit some lyrics and spice up the day. He even managed to start a fight with the usually placid Blue, at a recent MTV shoot and for that alone, he deserves his stripes. Here we see him gatecrashing the Kevin Zacher shoot and in no time at all, was serving up cold lyrics to amuse everyone.
Not ones to miss a photo opportunity, Sticky and Livewire got up close and personal. For most, the smell would have killed it but having had a former team mate being a soap dodger, they were used to it and weren't deterred in the slightest.
Wandering off to the London eye, Steve continued spitting for anyone who would listen. Here he encounters another street performer and rolls off some lyrics about a headless chicken to Rihanna's 'Under my umbrella' song. Class!
Steve, look at the lens bruv. We want a profile shot. He tries his best but in his altered state of being absolutely wasted, he can't get his eyes to work properly. After 6 or 7 snaps, this was the closest he got to nailing it.
As always, after 10 mins in his company, we get bored and try to lose him. Here we see him saying "Its all good in the hood" after we've just slipped him a tenner for beer and fags. Until the next time.......
