Bashy's Black Boys

The story behind Bashy's classic song 'Black Boys', featuring Ghetts, Naughty Boy, Cadet, Chip, Tinie Tempah, DJ Target, Trevor Nelson.

In 2007, a song dropped by a grime MC that didn't chart or get millions of streams... but it did have an impact on the UK scene that's still felt today. That song was 'Black Boys' by Bashy.

Recorded in two hours and released for Black History Month, it celebrated black British boys and united the UK scene like never before.

The remix was a who's who of the UK scene, featuring 21 artists, including Chip, Tinie, Skepta, Wretch 32 and Ghetts.

It also launched the career of its producer Naughty Boy, who funded the video from winning a TV game show and who's gone on to make some of the UK's biggest selling hits.

Originally broadcast in 2017, this documentary explores the inspiration and legacy of 'Black Boys', and it features DJ Target, Bashy, Naughty Boy, Cadet, Heavytrackerz, Kieran Yates, Chip, Tinie Tempah, Jamz Supernova, Trevor Nelson, Aniefiok Ekpoudom, Dr Richard Bramwell, Riki Bleau and Slix.
