The only time you’ll see Lilly Allen on PinBoard is when she does something stupid (like this), or when something like this happens. South East London based AKS jumps on Allen’s “The Fear” and turns it into something I can fu*k with…

Aiight, so now has a new found respect for this track haha! (Ok, I can’t lie, the the original ain’t actually that bad but…) AKS kills it!  Definitely feelin’ this version and what he adds to it. And until AKS attacks her entire album, I still refuse to check for it. In anycase, he will be dropping a mixtape soon and course, you can find that right here when it does.

Peace, Love & AKS
