Meet James Devlin, English rapper from Dagenham
James Devlin, better known mononymously as Devlin, is an English rapper from Dagenham, East London, England, signed to Island Records. Devlin’s first CD was It Was Written by Nas, and he began listening to garage music at a young age, which developed in to a love for Grime similarly to many of his music-loving counterparts. East London Grime groups such as Outakers and Nasty Crew and the MC’s within those groups such as Kano, Sharkey Major and D Double E were so original they inspired Devlin not to imitate, but to mastermind his own presence in the music scene
