In “Power Up”, Chip exposes all the hate he’s had in the industry since his return to grime. He goes into detail about how people have tried to stop him shining, but he demonstrates how he’s a force in the scene and can’t be stopped. The outro is a clip taken from an interview with Skepta that summa...
[Intro]
But they don't wanna let me in
Alright then
