What might be England’s best export these days is an improbable rap duo and truthful viral engine on TikTok and on Spotify combined; particularly since the release in 2018 of their album ‘Mr. Worldwide'. The pair coined Pete & Bas, are pensioners and with no doubt the latest British oddity that took the world by storm as the ’strangest addition to U.K. grime’.
Reece Beckett of The Edge, writes: 'With a ‘combined age of 150’ years, they are the surreal embodiment of the long time running joke about the distance between the elderly and the latest trends in music. They are new music, but they are also not acting in a way that is disingenuous or mocking in the slightest, they really are just very good grime artists even if at first sight the pair having a tour seems like a joke gone too far.’ At Choque that night, the pair’s energetic rap and the delirious reaction of the people in presence is as if Martin Parr and Bruce Gilden, both Magnum photographers, had fomented the naughtiest offsprings.
