This is where she’s coming from: In her alleged second youtube-appearance Paigey Cakey shows her skills and charisma on a simple beat and visual background. Performing in a parking deck is not only a reference to Leshurr’s first choice but to a scenary that is a central stylistic device to UK Grime’s clip culture. I personally take much more out of such simple pieces than of some of her following more conceptualized clips. Stay raw gurl, you’re good!

A whole chapter in Paigey’s first couple years was written in the light of a close cooperative friendship with Lady Leshurr.  The two energetic ladies share their humor, their short size as much as their big mouths. They jump, bounce, spit on one rhythm. Both are passionate musicians, and work perfectly together as a beatbox-freestyle duet. After touring together and sharing stages throughout a long year all over Europe, they eventually separated over different approaches to and attitudes concerning their career and how each handles the public attention. Still, this chapter was intense and really fun following as a fan and I know that both MCs keep it to their heart as something they wouldn’t wanna change if they could…

…Cake ran around a different edge with the change of the year. To me it seems like she’s getting closer and closer to expressing and mediating her self with the music. Which is a beautiful process to witness.

 

And with it come some collabos, bringing new names and voices to the surface:  … for instance, here’s a nu pack runnin‘, with Karmah Cruz, ILLy, Sampz, Gina Jae, and MsBanks – Ain’t on Nuttin (January 2015): youtube.com/watch?v=uo_H9C8V40Y
