Everything Ben Drew touches turns to gold. Directorial debut Ill Manors and the soundtrack of the same name was released to much praise earlier this year, with the title track hailed as "the first great mainstream protest song in years" by The Guardian.
Appearances in Adulthood and The Sweeney further confirm Drew's immense on-screen talent, but it's his music that really demands a response. Full of passion, rage and killer hooks, Plan B preaches stories of injustice and struggle, track after track, which is lapped up by charts, critics, collaborators and fans alike.
An ambassador of Radio 1's Hackney Weekend and life-long friend of 1Xtra, Drew is poised and ready to stir us to action at his long-awaited performance for 1Xtra Live.
