Here’s Why We Need to Find Pauly, the Hottest MC in the UK | US | Translation

We want to track down the star of the show of the first episode of Late Night Philosophy.

When Julie Adenuga stepped onto the glitzy streets of Romford, seeking answers to the biggest question of all—is there life after death—we doubt she'd ever have imagined she'd uncover one of the biggest talents in the UK, but that's what happened.

If you've watched the first episode of our new series Late Night Philosophy, you'll be acquainted with Pauly, an incredibly gifted MC born in Highbury, from…Archway.

Pauly didn't just have solid ideas about what happens to us when we shuffle off our mortal coil, and a decent grip on a plate of sauce-soaked kebab meat, oh no. When it came to laying down a few bars on camera, it turned out the was just as good as the likes of Wiley or D Double E. But what exactly was it about the lyrical G that's made us desperate to track him down and hear more of his (no doubt incredible) material?

The answer to that is simple: charisma. It's one of those things you've either been blessed with or born bereft of, and Pauly evidently emerged into the world positively dripping with it. We can only assume this has been the case with every single one of the numerous lives he's lived, which would go some way towards explaining why he claims to have been "reincarnated too many times." It's his current life as a streetwalking MC we're really excited about, though, despite his 2000 years of roaming the planet in a variety of guises.

We want to hear more; more about his many lives, more about that birth in Highbury, more about his upbringing in Archway. Let's get you in a proper studio, Pauly. Let's get Stormzy involved. Preditah on production. We want to see your fire in the booth. We want to you produce an ill-advised crossover single with Jess Glynne. We want to see you do one of those 1xtra Proms with a full orchestra.

If you're out there, please, for our sake, for everyone's sake, get in touch. Let's make you the star you were born (multiple times) to be.
