Raver Aka Carlton SN1 — the man behind one of the biggest name-drops in UK rap history — finally breaks his silence.
Known as Raver Carlton SN1, Narm Boss and a true South London street legend — sits down with ASB for a raw, unfiltered interview. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in Peckham, Raver opens up about the name Giggs immortalised on 'Talking The Hardest', the SN1 set, IPP (Imprisonment for Public Protection) and the 99-year licence, growing up in the North Peckham Estate, YPB vs PMS, and the real story behind UK rap.
From the pain behind 'Talking The Hardest' to why Giggs is the voice of reason, from missing the birth of his son to the 2013 dream that started his singing journey — this is real talk & tru stories, no filter.
Raver also speaks on Blue Story, the block, prison life, his no-swearing rule in music, the Rebirth EP, UNIT 10, and gives his take on the Vybz Kartel vs Mavado debate.
