EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE | SONNY GREEN RELEASES NEW VIDEO ‘GRENADE’

By Rishma • On What is New

Essex MC, act­iv­ist, poet and act­or Sonny Green releases punk infused rap banger ‘Gren­ade’ pro­duced by Pearse Macintyre (former front­man of Rogues). Hip-Hop Magazine have the exclus­ive première of the music video.

Green’s play­ful self-aware­ness, wit and punk energy are con­stant through­out ‘Gren­ade’. He states the track is ‘about the frus­tra­tions of the best lyr­i­cist in the world being over­looked by mediocrity and the self destruct­ive­ness of the mod­ern man. Also high­light­ing no mat­ter how grown up you are there’s still a child in there somewhere.’

Sonny star­ted as a Grime MC around 2010 releas­ing free­styles on 140tv and SBTV, then added poetry to his skill­set. He now runs Trouble Tongues, a spoken word night based in Dal­ston, East Lon­don. He also reg­u­larly tours with  Asi­an Dub Found­a­tion as an MC for their Sound Sys­tem play­ing hun­dreds of dates across Europe with them.

His no-holds-barred deliv­ery and unique sound has led to playl­ist­ing at 1Xtra, slots at fest­ivals includ­ing Read­ing and Leeds and sup­port slots for Fat Boy Slim and Pete Doherty, amongst others.

One to watch. We expect big things for Sonny’s future.
