Forget Stormzy and Wiley and meet Pete and Bas, two London rapping pensioners who think they are about to take the UK music scene by storm.<br /><br />Bas, 70, is a piano teacher while Pete works for the National Trading Standards Board, which combats rogue traders.<br /><br />But there's nothing rogue about this track, titled "Shut Ya Mouth", in which Pete and Bas spit rhymes over a haunting, spectral beat in the most brutal, grimey UK gangsta rap tune of the year (granted, it's still only January). <br /><br />"Look in me eyes / I ain't here for the pork or the pies / I have had enough of that dirt / Don't get wise / These hands don't care about another man's eyes," raps Pete (he's the one wearing glasses) in one verse in the video, filmed on the streets of London.<br /><br />Bas has been a huge fan of grime music ever since being introduced to the scene by one of his piano students while Pete is the rap fan.<br /><br />The two are part of the six-strong music collective Sindhuworld, who previously shot to some kind of fame with the track "Sun Shines (On You)", performed by corner shop owner Sindhu and Uncle Bal.<br /><br />On their YouTube channel below the "Shut Ya Mouth" video, one listener comments: "This is the hardest grime tune of 2018 so far, a lot of MCs need to step up lool. Also Bald guy sounding like Prez T."<br /><br />Sindhuworld say "Shut Ya Mouth" will be on all major music platforms soon.
