I Predict A Riot - Reveal

I Predict a Riot 2011 by RevealPoison

After recent events in the capital and around the UK, Twitter was alight with comments from the music fraternity.  After so many people denouncing the mindless acts of violence and aggression, it almost seemed inevitable that someone would musically address the situation.  As social commentators go, you'll be hard-pressed to find someone more adept or poignant than Poisonous Poet, Reveal.  Flipping the Kaiser Chiefs "I Predict A Riot", Reveal discusses the events that spawned the outbreaks and his opinions of the following days' development.  The second verse is built up of rhyming comments he posted on his Twitter as the violence spread.  It's a honest and frank account of the events of the past week and goes to prove that Reveal is one of the country's finest narrators. The track is available as a free download so grab yourself a copy.

Reveal also featured on Newsnight earlier this week alongside Kelvin Mackenzie, former editor of 'The Sun'.  Despite the narrow mindedness of two of the guests, Reveal manages to talk a lot of sense so make sure you check out his contribution to the debate below.
