Kurupt FM's MC Grindah
Question: is it a crime to be the most talented MC in the game? Probably is actually – explains why so many haters and feds are trying to shut man down. Creator of the biggest pirate radio station in the world, more or less, Kurupt FM. Put simply, the best-looking, most legendary lyrical artist to ever bless mic. So, a leader of men, yes, but also probably the humblest individual you’ll meet, especially given how incredible the skills are. And they are genuinely incredible. Can’t stress that enough, really.
Kurupt FM's DJ Beats
Right hand man to MC Grindah. The Lieutenant to his General. The DJ Luck to his MC Neat. But better, if anything. And that is really saying something if you think about it, cos Luck and Neat are still banging it out in Napa after all these years. Proud dad. (And proud DJ. Prouder DJ, if anything.)
Kurupt FM's DJ Steves
Weed activist. Researcher and truth seeker. The Earth is flat and is being governed by shapeshifting lizards. Time to wake up people.
Kurupt FM's Chabuddy G
Manager. Businessman. Ladies’ Man. Lover, fighter, tour promoter. Brains behind the legendary Kurupt FM crew. Inventor of Peanut Dust. Is there anything this hunk of man meat cannot do? There is not. Literally mate, you name it, I can not only do it, I can sell it and set it up with a promotional tour of Ipswich. In a word? Sexy entrepreneur. And that’s two words, which tells you everything you need to know about me and thinking outside the box.
Dawn French

A good listen, some good old fashioned funnies
Really enjoyed this series, I would say 6 of the 8 episodes were my cup of tea but that's a personal thing. You will struggle to find 16 comedians that you will like equally.
