  • Since joining Wiley's Roll Deep crew in 2004, Manga Saint Hilare has been a mainstay in the UK grime scene. Loyal to the genre and a strong advocate of regional rappers, he spits "I'm known up and down the country… Sho said I can come to Paisley, comfy." Getting Hilare on Glasgow-based rapper Shogun's antagonistic new single, "Crow," feels like a coup. As ruthless as the Japanese military dictators who inspired his name, Shogun's harsh, vexed tones are complemented by Hilare's quick wordplay. The two rappers elevate a dark, mysterious instrumental, showcasing the ever-robust nature of the UK's diverse grime scene.
