00:00**Upbeat music**
00:14Ahhh, ahh, ahh
00:18You know I'm...
00:20What is happening here?
00:22My microphone is sweating
00:24Give yourself a big round of applause everybody!
00:26**Cheering**
00:28I'm going to be like, you didn't stick to the time.
00:30Do we need more popcorn over here?
00:32Oh, I got you, little girl, I got you.
00:35So, whilst I still have some breath left,
00:39thank you so much for joining me.
00:40I was feeling a bit lonely.
00:41We're going to keep moving.
00:42Now, we're moving into something
00:43that I'm not very good at,
00:45into the B-C-D-E-F, I can't rap,
00:47so I'm not going to ever try.
00:49I was never blessed with that.
00:51So, coming to the stage to kick us off
00:54with our rap hour will be Wild Shady.
00:57Why are you going to be so shady?
00:59Now, shady is not necessarily a good thing, right?
01:03But I believe that this human being
01:06is going to come and give us a whole flip side
01:10to the shade.
01:12Do you know why shady?
01:14Huh?
01:15He's looking at me like, what?
01:16He's looking at me like.
01:18He's going to bridge the gap between rap,
01:21British rap, and Boston rap.
01:24Miss, this is yours, by the way.
01:26So, I'm going to give it a whip, yeah?
01:27Cool.
01:32Pawsmith, how we doing?
01:34First, that was like the best intro
01:37I've ever got in my life.
01:39Easy, easy, easy.
01:40And the dance moves as well.
01:42I felt bad that I was performing after,
01:45I didn't want to interrupt it.
01:46But as she said, yeah, my name is Wild Shady.
01:50Shady actually means where there's shade, there's light.
01:53Okay, I've got some lovers here.
01:55Shady actually means where there's shade, there's light.
01:58So, basically, when I was growing up,
02:00I was in a very hard place.
02:03You'll kind of hear it through my music.
02:05I grew up in Creighton, South London.
02:07It's a very gang environment area,
02:08and I grew up around a lot of knives.
02:11I've watched my brother being stabbed.
02:12I used to carry a knife, and I was in a very dark place.
02:15I would put in ADHD places.
02:17I was put in ADHD classes.
02:19I was told I was this and that.
02:21But I think I just needed a bit of love.
02:22You don't want people to say a lot of things,
02:24but you just need someone to tell you
02:25that it's okay to feel how you feel.
02:26You know what I mean?
02:28So, I got to a point in my life where someone did that,
02:30and I actually had my first encounter with God.
02:33And it was like, even in the deepest, darkest place,
02:35God was still able to put a light in my heart.
02:38So, now, when I sit.
