Meet 19-year-old Kane ‘Kano’ Robinson: garage’s lyricist laureate, the MC’s MC, the street poet who knows it, a pirate frequency all of his own amid the scramble of the national garage airspace. A key member in East London’s reigning N.A.S.T.Y. Crew, he has talent, credibility and vision coming out of his pores, and let’s not even mention his looks – handsome enough to melt knicker elastic at a thousand paces, he’s currently out of love, and weighing out the options: ‘Single… yeah,’ Kano grins. ‘I’m happy about that. There’s girls, but I seen people go through a lot of stress with relationships. There’s nothing wrong with having a girlfriend, but… there’s time for that.’

And there’s time for a lot more, beginning with headline billing as Most Requested spitter on garage’s underground circuit – for further details, just check the posters adorning any traffic lights near you. With not one but two alternative careers – he trialled as centre-forward for Chelsea and Norwich as a schoolkid, and then cruised through graphic design courses on the back of nine GCSES to win a place at Greenwich University, which he then spurned – music’s gain is very much academia and sport’s loss. He is native and resident of East Ham in far-East London, where garage is less a sounds than a way of life. And today Kano is ready to roll out his new single ‘Typical Me’ and forthcoming debut album alongside a whole new mode of expression that threatens to leave the competition looking decidedly one-dimensional.

In the magnificently unblemished flesh, Kano is affable, assured, unhurried, unafraid. He smiles at girls as they walk past, but holds his tongue. For someone who’s making career out of hyperspeed chat, he’s surprisingly quiet. Where others front, Kano reflects. His timing is nanosecond perfect. As a schoolkid he didn’t approach garage with the blind zeal of the evangelist. Get this - he ‘eased into it.’
