I’ll tell you lot a funny story about Muscle though lol I think it was summer 2011, me and my friends spent a lot of the summer in Mozart. Let me tell you that Mozart in 2011 was notttt a calm place to be, these man met us at Kensal Green station 30 man up on push bikes

You know when you go to a next mans hood but it you’re there through a next man, it was one of them ones. But I knew a couple of them, one of them was Muscle, my bro. So off we rid, to Mozart. Mozart aint far from KG station. But these man took a detour

When I say detour, we’re riding up the canal, I keep hearing man talk about ‘riding out’ I thought nothing of it (I was petrified, I had my nank unflicked from 2 stops before we got off the train. It was treacherous) All of a sudden these man start shouting and riding faster

Like a sheep ediat I followed pretending to know what was going on, I even started shoutin as well. Them man were shoutin actual things, I was just like ‘ahhhh’ I thought if I shouted loud enough I’d gain courage. I was displaying warrior actions but inside I was finisheddddd

Whoever we were chasing got away, so we all put are bikes down and started billin it and shit. Well I did. Then a man comes to and says ‘you’re a mad man billin it on the pagan block’ I was like what??? Pagan block? Are these man tryna get me killed???

Literally 10 seconds later I hear a man say ‘they’re here’. I see 3 youts peddling towards us. I turn to my right I see a man holding a knife, I look to the left I see Muscle unarmed. These 2 nutters start sprinting at the youts like wild dogs, so I just ran at them too

Bro, as we’re approaching the youts one of them back out a gun, when I say I FROZE. I heard classical music in my head, I was convinced it was over. I could already see the ‘RIP Lippy’ t-shirts being handed out. But these 2 Mozart nutters, started shoutin ‘it’s blanks’

At the time I was 19, I think most man with us were 16/17, and these man were small. So I stood out, I was the biggest there by a distance. So I had to look like one of the most bout it, these times I’m frozen in the middle of the road and man have chased off the yout

Got back to Mozart now. Everyone starts arguing about who was the most shook and that, I’m just sitting there praying no one clocked me freeze up like that. This nigga Muscle goes ‘I aint gonna lie Lippy froze, but he froze like a g’ HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FREEZE LIKE A G

He then added extra shit to the story to unmoistify my actions even more ‘Yeah he froze up stood there and said buss it’ Bro I said buss it coz I wanted my last words to be krud, I was shittin myself. I all said it in a voice that I’ve never used before, that was a next voice

My and him have never spoken about that again, he and I were the only people that knew I shat myself that day - A man saw2 freeze up and spiced up the story to make me like a bad man, that was Muscle all over. Always done what he could to make a next man shine

The worst thing is, when I found Muscle was bangin for Mozart I remember being shocked and tellin people ‘he’s not like that’ Little did I know one day I would watch him sprint with fulllll intend at a man with a gun, never take a mans kindness or good manners for softness

RIP Muscle, RIP G Dotz that I met for the first time on that crazy day in summer 2011 also. Maximum love and respect to everyone from Mozart and to Muscle’s family and friends. Enjoy your life the way Muscle woulda wanted you to, don’t forget how far you’ve come. RIP GOTTI
