Rocky Takalobigashi aka Mic Righteous has been described as a UK DMX or (predictably) a homegrown Eminem. He's the latest in that line of working-class Brit rappers – Professor Green, Wretch 32, Devlin, Plan B – who are more angry than artful but who are managing to parlay their experiences on sink estates into successful careers via a knack for allying not-quite-banal social commentary to not-quite-brutal hooks. Mic Righteous could do what his peers have done and achieve No 1 hits with his by turns punchy and poignant rap observations and confessions. BBC1Xtra and MTV are behind him, he has (again, predictably) featured on tracks by Ed Sheeran and Emeli Sande, and the impression given is of an MC in the ascendant.
