Plan B - "Mama"

Plan B has had a bit of an about -turn in his musical style, with the release of his new album 'The Defamation of Strickland Banks', where this time he sings with a little bit of rapping, where-as the previous album, he rapped with a little bit of singing. "Mama (Loves a Crackhead)" is from the previous album 'Who Needs Actions When You Got Words' and it created a lot of interest at the time. His style is a bit different to most rap artists by way of rapping with acoustic guitar. "Mama" borrows "I can't go for that" by Hall and Oates for its chorus. The version below (Jools Holland, yet again) is different to the studio version we play on air, but it shows us why he is now more of a singer. Going by this performance the change in style was inevitable.
