Croydon based comedian and YouTuber Michael Dapaah became a viral sensation in August 2017 after he joined BBC radio presenter Charlie Sloth for a Fire in the Booth freestyle session on his BBC Radio 1Xtra show.

The clip, a comedy skit in which Dapaah plays MC Quakez, an aspiring but hopeless rapper, and Big Shaq, a parody of UK gangsters, amassed over a million views on YouTube and led to him signing a deal with Island Records to release an official version of the tune. Man’s Not Hot has since received over three million streams on Apple Music and Spotify and has caught the attention of celebrities and public figures on both sides of the Atlantic, with Jeremy Corbyn quoting him at this year’s Labour party conference and The Roots performing a live version of the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
