Toddla T: rice n' peas, nice



YEAH, yeah. I know this is late. It's just that lunchtime is too many hours away, I'm hungry, and this is a song about food.

Toddla T has been getting big at home in England with the release of his first album Skanky Skanky last year and now a residency on BBC Radio 1.

“I’ve never even been to Jamaica, but I have grown up with Jamaican next door neighbours and Jamaican friends at school. It’s quite close to home — I know the music and I can’t help but get into it. It’s to do with the people I have around me here. What I do is a Sheffield thing through and through," Toddla told the Telegraph newspaper.

Having since taken his first trip here the 24-year-old – real name Tom Bell – has worked with several Jamaican artists including Natalie Storm, who we featured last week.
