Check it out! Yeah! Tomorrow night.
Yeah.
You, man, are featured guests.
- Don't all thank me all at once.
- Why would you put us alongside AK? You're acting like you're on the same level as them.
I know I ain't on their level.
Good.
Cos I'm better.
Dis! Yemz, back me, fam.
There's no debate.
You're doing the gig.
Yemi, you still got a free yard tonight? All right.
Then I suggest you invite some heads round.
Get opinions on what tracks to perform, tell your mandem on the wall to reach, I'm going to bring Louise and I'll see if Davina wants her friend to come too, yeah? All right? Good to be back on the music, Yemz? "Swan Song"? Yo, what's this? What you doing? This is good, you know.
Aite, man! Don't just be clicking things! I know why.
You've been a naughty boi, ain't ya? You don't want me finding pictures of your gyal-dem.
It's just some project I had to hand in for college.
Yeah! College! Glad you could all make it, especially the mandem who had the most difficult journey travelling here all the way from the wall downstairs.
We'd really appreciate your opinions after each track is played and not just, "Oh, this track was waste.
" Give reasons why.
And now I'm going to have to say good night to my little sisters, as it is now their bedtime.
No, it's not.
Yes, it is.
We'll tell Mum about your party when she gets home.
Yemi's going to get beat! All right, all right! Yemz load the track.
That track's waste, man.
Watch your face, tell them I can't just watch this space And I ain't got time for what's his face I'll box his face It's all about the diva on this one - you should re-do it with more of her.
Aite, bredrin - simmer down.
Simmer down! Um, five-minute break, guys, and then you can give us your verdicts.
What do you think? Hey, hey.
Don't you think the Youngers forgot about the mandem? How do you mean? Yemz used to make some hype beats.
I'm talking DMX Up In Here level.
Lethal B's pow.
2004 pow, not 2011.
But now That's Diva's influence.
It's a good thing.
It means you can reach more people with their music.
Not just road man.
What? I'm not a road man.
I'm I'm middle class, blud.
Come on, girls, bedtime.
They're so sweet.
You have no idea.
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, go to bed.
So, did you like 'em? You know I can't even judge these tracks properly.
Why? You done vexed me.
What have I done? There's you walking around, pretending to be single when really, you're doing the ting with Linkster.
Sorry? He told us that you'd been giving him piece! And leaving the rest of us out! How come they're saying we slept together? What? Have you, though? Really? Like? I'm so s Whoo! Whoa! OK.
Time to go.
Yeah, everyone.
Time to go.
Out, out, out.
Let's go.
Yemz, man.
Look, it was only one time, I swear.
Just get out, Jay.
What? I swear, if you don't get out now Jay Hey I don't know how them lot made things to sound .
.
but I weren't boasting or anything.
I was just trying to explain to them how different you are.
What, different from all your other skets, yeah? Yeah.
Look, I'm not calling you a sket.
I'm just saying You're special.
Don't try and talk like you care about me, Jay.
But I do! Don't you understand? You've ruined everything.
Just go away.
Come with me.
Wa gwan? What's up? What you doing, man? Get off me, man.
Get talking.
Don't make me come back there and slap you up, you know.
I said talk.
You knew all along that I liked Davina, but you went behind my back and made me look like an idiot.
I didn't plan it, bruv.
Why should I believe you? You seen me with bare girls, yeah? Was there never a time when you thought, "Perhaps this one'll be different for Jay?" Don't try and act like you've got feelings.
You don't do feelings.
You're just a male ho! Yeah, well, you're just hating because you're still a virgin.
At least I've never had an STD.
You never will, cuz, cos you've got no game! You expect all the breders in the world to stop chirpsing and wait for you to man up and draw a girl? For a man that got bare A's in his GCSEs, I thought you were smarter than that.
Oh, my All right, that's enough.
Jay, apologise to Yemi.
Yemi, forgive Jay.
Apologise for what? Forgiveness, my foot.
Oi! I left my baby mother at home for you boys, yeah? I'm starting to take this personally.
You want to let things slide and get professional.
If you can't do that, come out of my car.
But then I don't want to see you in my shop again.
I don't even want to see you on road, blud, cos if I do, watch what happens.
Good.
Now, I'm dropping you at Davina's yard, yeah? I want you man to convince her to do the gig tonight, OK? You need to come to tonight's gig or Ashley is going to go militant.
So? What do you mean, so? Is that your apology? Well, technically, I ain't done anything wrong.
Ohh! Oh, my God! What you doing? Jay, just fall back a minute.
Let me talk to her.
Are you hurt? It's a minor.
Look, bun all this emotional ting, we're a group and we've got a gig.
We've got to be professional! You've worked hard on this, I've worked hard on this, even Jay's worked hard on this.
If, afterwards, you want to go on and do your own ting, then that's cool.
But tonight, we've all got to put Youngers first.
Yo, you lot like it so far? OK, I've found three talented young ones looking to make movements! So get yourselves ready Yo! Right Boss Fury says if you can win the crowd over, you could go straight into your second track.
But listen.
If they ain't feeling you, wrap it up before it gets ugly.
Linkster, I want you to take the lead tonight.
I need you to be on point, yes? Diva, now's the time for you to prove all of them haters wrong.
Yemz don't be shy.
Stick out your chest and be proud, bro.
Your time, peeps! Let's go! Yo, yo, yo, yo! As I promised, something special for you lot.
I have found three talented people from the Endz! Make some noise for the Youngers! Look, I know it's been difficult between us, but we're going to smash this, yeah? Yeah.

Yemz! It's Linkster! Yemi's in the back, but I've got the Diva here.
We make the change, can't ever see the day that we fade away From the streets to the charts We paved the way Soon be the bestseller Shades Of Grey Hey, if today's the day, I got papes to make, I'm on a paper chase Nobody but I can make me wait I want my team to get paid in a major way Tell them don't hate the player Better hate the game The star's here, Linkster's the name Me and Yemz come to change the game Rep the Endz as we change the fame I really couldn't care what a hater say, hope you choke on your Hatorade When I'm sitting here winning with a wavy mate Didn't think I could did it, but I know I'm going to make the grade No matter what my exam papers say I don't watch no face I don't watch no face Tell a man calm Just watch this space I ain't got time for what's his face I'll box his face I don't watch no face I don't watch no face Tell a man calm Just watch this space, and I ain't got time for what's his face I'll box his face What you looking at? I ain't got time, so I ain't looking back Think I'm still the girl you knew But she ain't coming back I'm back on track Never see me cutting slack Want you out my hair But I see that you're running back, running back Don't watch no face Don't watch no face Tell a man calm Just watch this space And I ain't got time for what's his face I'll box his face Don't watch no face I don't watch no face Tell a man calm Just watch this space And I ain't got time for what's his face I'll box his face One man on a lonely platform One case sitting by his side Two eyes staring cold and silent Shows fear as he turns to hide Aaaahhh We fade to grey.

Did you give the swan beat to Avengerz Krew? Behind our backs? What swan beat? He made a track for us and gave it to them, innit? Nah, it's not like that.
I-I just made the track And gave it to them.
Is this true, Yemz? Fam, I expected more from you, you know? I'm sorry.
I got carried away with the whole Davina thing.
Again? You boys always try to find a way to blame me! You know, you lot are taking liberties with me? Man, I don't even know what I was thinking.
I actually thought you guys could get somewhere.
I'm done.
Where are you going, man? You can go back to the way you were.
I'm done as well.
Davina, wait! You really killed things, innit? You know that, innit? Jay! 'Big tune from Whooli-Mooli, and up next, 'it's A To B from the Youngers, 'a track you lot have been going mad about the past few days.
