Summary

It’s the last episode of the year! Romesh reunites with Ben Green to chat with one of 2020’s break-out stars - presenter, comedian and musician Munya Chawawa. He tells us what he’s been up to these past 12 months, how he got involved with the Chip and Stormzy beef, and how his posh drill rapper alter ego, Unknown P, became an unexpected success. Oh and of course, we chat about his favourite hip hop.
