Croydon's Bonkaz is quickly becoming the go to name whenever you're considering the rise of UK rap's "new generation", and "We Run The Block" is one of the biggest reasons why.

And since we're all so used to getting whatever we want in two clicks and a play button, the restriction turned it into a bit of a cult luxury. A week ago, he finally unleashed the grime and trap twisted rap banger on to the internet, for all to hear, and now he's putting out the video to boot.Bonkaz' bars are clever, the beat is sparse and icey, and concrete blocked London backdrop makes the video even colder.
