Press

After the confiscation of their gear at the end of the last series, Grindah and Beats have been reduced to MCing for another pirate station. The Man can't keep Kurupt FM down for long, though, and soon they are exploiting the goodwill of a local car-boot sale, as Chabuddy G's wheeler-dealer alter ego "Dhal boy" comes to the fore.
