Chip

Tinie recently took the grime scene by surprise and premiered a new Chip diss, entitled “Been the Man”, at 1Xtra Live from Leeds. The diss features a hook by Stormzy, who’d previously claimed that he didn’t want to get involved in Chip’s beef.

This is Chip’s response, which questions Tinie’s ability to release a diss track without the help of a more credible, underground grime MC. The song uses the beat from Ruff Sqwad and Wiley’s classic track “Together”, produced by Ruff Sqwad member Dirty Danger.

Tinie spoke to Twin and Yasmin about the beef live on 1Xtra. He said that people are reading too far into the beef and to him “this is all fun” and it’s “banter”. He said that “Been the Man” isn’t about what people think it’s about, and there’s also a Jme feature on it.
