A grime MC from Lewisham has released seven albums, runs the label F Music, and has collaborated with Skepta and Dizzee Rascal. He founded the CC Foundation to empower young people and underprivileged families in Lewisham, running turkey drives, laptop libraries, and employability classes.

Positive audience response prompted a move out of the city to F Manor and a pivot to farming content. He created an eight-episode YouTube series visiting farms nationwide to learn skills like milking, beekeeping, and pig farming while building community.
