Recording a Fire In The Booth session is a landmark moment for any aspiring MC. The spot on black British radio station 1xtra is a big step for artists looking to get on the radio and prove their freestyle skills to the world. Stormzy and J Hus both made theirs on their way up while entries by Giggs and Akala are iconic. However, none of them have received a reaction quite like the August 29 effort by MC Quakez and Roadman Shaq.
Quakez and Shaq are the creation of comedian Michael Dapaah, who plays both of the MCs in his web series #SWIL. The whole Fire In The Booth session is worth watching but it was Shaq's now infamous "The ting goes..." moment that has taken on a life of its own. Twitter users have applied his gibberish bars to everything from sneaking home late at night to Saving Private Ryan to the chimes of London's Big Ben.
