Riding Round In a Rover (Fire In The Booth)

Unknown P, a character created by British comedian Munya Chawawa, is a parody of a drill rapper with an upper-class twist. In 'Riding Round In a Rover (Fire In The Booth)', Unknown P delivers a performance that is both a pastiche of drill music and a humorous take on British class stereotypes. The lyrics are filled with references to upper-class British culture, juxtaposed with the gritty, streetwise content typical of drill music. This creates a comedic effect as Unknown P raps about activities like hunting and mentions affluent areas, all while imitating the flow and bravado of a drill artist.

The song is structured as a freestyle session on the radio show 'Fire In The Booth', hosted by Charlie Sloth. Unknown P's lyrics are a mix of braggadocio and satire, as he boasts about his wealth and lifestyle while poking fun at both the drill scene and the upper class. He references tennis player Maria Sharapova, British politicians, and uses British slang in a way that is intentionally incongruous with his posh persona. The humor is derived from the contrast between the content of drill music and the stereotypically posh British references.

The song also serves as a commentary on the UK's class system and the music industry. Unknown P's character highlights the absurdity of class distinctions by adopting the mannerisms of the upper class while engaging in a genre of music that is often associated with a different social group. This juxtaposition invites listeners to question their own perceptions of class and culture, all while being entertained by Unknown P's clever wordplay and unique delivery.
