KS is knocking on the door waiting for S to open it.

S

Yo what you saying?

KS

Nothing much still, where’s M?

S

Ah he’s just in the booth finishing his bars still.

M

Yo you took your time man.

KS

Bruv I was trying to sort out the show for next Saturday, making sure the feds aren’t going to shut it down this time.

S

Word they take us for mugs, do I look like a mug or something?

(Laughter)

M

Kind of to be honest, but any way yeah they can’t be doing that again cause if the Beatles was performing there they wouldn’t shut it down so they don’t have any excuses this time.

KS

Yeah that’s true still. Are you ready to finish off this track?

M

Yeah I’ve literally got a couple more bars and then it’s done.

KS

Alright calm come.

S is sitting on the sofa whilst KS and M return from finishing a song in the recording booth.

M

Yo I’m feeling this one you know.

S

Yeah it’s hard still, when you looking to release it?

KS

Fam, I say we release it next Saturday at the show, everyone will go crazy.

S

Yeah let me go outside and make some calls, see if I can get some promotions and that.

M

Yeah calm.

KS

Yo M, come sit down and check out this new music I got for you.

Yo Tim, yeah nothing much still. Can you get my man’s tune played on your show next week? Yeah man I’m telling you it’s gonna be fire.
