Undoubtedly a fully fledged TV and entertainment star now thanks to his winning BAFTA The Big Narstie Show (Channel 4), which is now preparing for season 4, and series Let’s Settle This (BBC3), Big Narstie has become a fixture on the nations’ TV screens.
It is sometimes forgotten that Big Narstie came up during the first wave of Grime and UK Hip Hop in the early 2000s. Collaborations with Professor Green, Ed Sheeran, Robbie Williams, and Enter Shikari have followed; videos and radio sessions (1Xtra, Radio 1, Beats Radio) all finessed his skills and honed his talent, while bringing his music and his character to a much larger audience. He also brought the BDL (Base Defence League) into existence, a collective united by a desire to spread positivity and a new outlook on life.
