On Monday 30th May 2011, WinkBall citizen video reporters Charlotte and Laurent were at the Shepherd Bush Empire where Devlin played in concert. Devlin is a grime lyricist from Dagenham, Essex. He was initially spotted by another artist Dogzilla from the O.T Crew, and in 2006 he released his debut mixtape Tales From The Crypt, which received wide acclaim. Devlin is a member of the O.T Crew with Dogzilla, Syer Bars, and Deeperman. He is also in The Movement, along with Scorcher, Wretch 32, Ghetto, Mercston, Lightning, and DJ Unique. Devlin was first brought to O.T's attention when he hit the airwaves on a local radio station at just 13 years old. Writing and recording songs with friends and local producers at such a young age, its wasn't very long before he built up a good reputation in the area. A few years later he was brought to Dogzilla's attention again, this time by a mutual friend, Dogzy, who decided to give Devlin a chance. At the time the Danny weed's (Roll Deep)"Heat Up" was one of the most popular tracks around, Devlin jumped on it and did not disappoint, spitting a high level of content and speed whilst displaying a style and flow well beyond his years. Devlin has been etching his own place in the grime scene for the past year, he's elevated to a colossal status in a very short amount of time. The 17-year-old first performed on Rinse FM in June 2005 and he is now a fully fledged member of The Movement. Devlin is now one of the hottest MCs in the country. We asked Devlin fans why they like him and their highlights of the evening
