Q Exclusive - Plan B video interview
The quick-witted, Ben Drew a.k.a. Plan B talks exclusively to Q about his new album the character-basedThe Defamation of Strickland Banks.
Ben explains his shift from rap on his 2006 debut Who Needs Actions When You Got Words to his current persona. Now taking a more soulful approach to his music, he talks about the fictional concept behind the new release, admits to the first record he ever bought (you might be surprised!) and reveals his thoughts about artists blogging (don't expect him to be twittering for us anytime soon).
Plan B's album The Defamation of Strickland Banks is released April 12.
Single She Said is out April 22.
