Rapper Devlin is one of the hottest names on the underground grime scene, having steadily risen through east London's ranks with relentlessly gritty tracks featuring rapid-fire lyrics about crime, violence and poverty.

The 20-year-old from Dagenham, Essex, spent 10 weeks at number one on digital TV channel Channel AKA's chart with London City, a celebration of a boisterous night out in the capital, and is currently putting the finishing touches to his first album Bud, Sweat & Beers.
