Chip
Coming out of a partial music retirement was one of the founding fathers of grime, Chip. Not only did the rapper make an appearance at last night’s Mobo Awards, but he performed and took home the ‘Best Grime Act’ Award. Walking out head-to-toe in Casablanca, the North London rapper was suited to the 9s for a memorable performance. Chip is no stranger to this award show and officially won the same title in 2008. Then ’09, and up until now, 2016.
